Wednesday to Morton. McMichael

Congressman William B. Bankhead. of
Alabama, was the only member OF her

RED CROSS KITCHEN.

Mrs. Allyn X. Capron, in charge of
the Red Cross Sales Kitchen at the
chapter house, 16 Jackson place, is
much gratiied with the success of
the innovation, which she began three
weeks ago, of preparing basket and
box lunches for motor parties. So
ciety has responded in appreciable
numbers to her requests for patron
age, the small profits made on the
sales being devoted to the military
patients in the hospitals around
Washington in furnishing them with
jellies, jams and other delicacies.
Well-known physicians are also pat
ronizing the Red Cross kitchen since
they have learned that special invalid
diets can be prepared there under
Mrs. Capron's personal supervision.
There is probably no stauncher
friend of the man in uniform in
Washington today than Mrs. Capron-
Ever since she became widow

in the way of dances is certainly
having it's fill. Beginning last Fri

can hardly see where one county

German Club Of Warrenton gave
another dance in the town hall on
Wednesday evening; then we must
cross into Prince William county for
a few miles and there were dances in
Manassas on Thursday and Friday
evenings-the latter followed an old
fashioned tournament where the
knights tilted and the Queens of Love
and Beauty were crowned. The last
week was Fair Week" for Prince
william. and it's always a gala week
Then came Saturday night again.
and, be 1t said, there were no less
than five dances-some private, some
general--and all over Fauquier and
Loudoun county, too.
How is that for report? And I'm
told the last week was slow in com
parison to what the coming week
will be, for there is the Marshall Fair
two days. and dances two nights; the
polo game at Marshall on August IS
which will no doubt be followed by
a ball to entertain the officers from
