eve Remember the S. and A."
Last week we were happy to
have out of town visitors with us
on our rounds to visit the Sick and
Ailing. Mrs. H. o. Newman,
mother of our Editor, and Mrs.
Viola Hall, were our guests on our
trip to Glen Lake and Veterans.
The ladies went into ecstasies over
the grounds and flower gardens.
The water lilies in the pond at
the Veterans did seem arrayed in
heavenly hues. Mrs. Hall was most
adept in naming the different
flowers. We have known petunias
for some time.
The grounds at Parkview do not
afford such an elaborate setting as
do the larger places, although Mrs.
Dora Waters, our guest visitor out
there, did find some unusual double
cannas. Her gift of Anoka greens
brought bright smiles to the faces
of the men.
The ladies found they had some
thing in common with the patients
in the way of mutual acquaintance
in other cities. Stop reading if
you have heard this one before:
this is a small world after all.
Let us remind you again of how
happy the patients are to have
regular, friendly visits, especially
those in the outlying institutions.
Reverend C. F. Stewart and
Reverend T. B. Stovall visited at
Parkview last week. We met Mr..
Charles Jennings out there. He
was telling his buddies of his in
tended trip to New York. Saw
Mrs. McMoore and daughter TAX
ing some interesting looking pack
ages to Mr.. John McMoore.
Mr.. Humphrey felt very proud
that his church, Bethesda, is to be
the first one to offer to entertain
the patients with their Gospel
Songs. We were asked to help ar
range the time and date for the
patients with the Program Com
mittee for the patients by Mr.. VIM.
Smith.
Now that summer is over the
other programs are being outlined
for the year by the entertainment
groups at the different institutions.
Here is an opportunity for your
club to offer its services and
talents to cheer the sick and all
ing.
Glen Lake, Veterans, The Mems
Bureau, and the Old Soldiers
Home, all have large auditoriums
and modern stages and para
phernalia.
Our rest home inmates should
not be forgotten. Let US help you
plan date in between the special
holidays. We would be welcome
on any of the programs, but we
must line up in time.

and extremely beneficial. In the
interpreting of hospital routine to
patients, and patients needs and
wants to proper authorities, it
takes an individual possessed with
common sense, tact and under
standing. You are fortunate in
having been able to secure the
services of such a person in Mrs.
Dorothy Wilson, graduate nurse,
who comes highly recommended for
her thoroughness and efficiency.

SKINNED SPOTLIGHT

Being q columnist undoubtedly
gives the First Lady Of the Land
the right to ride on the Capitol
elevator reserved on the House
side for members and the press.
But, being the wife Of the Presi-
dent makes it q little difficult
for her to visit Congress when it
is voting against her husband,
without causing q hullabaloo. SO,
Mrs. Roosevelt took the public
elevator. That is, she took 1t after
some delay. 4 ..,
Tuesday, just before the House
so emphatically overrode the Presi-
dents veto on the war risk in
surance extension, Mrs. Roosevelt
appeared on the Hill and tried
not to create a disturbance. She
wanted to keep as many people
from recognizing her as she could.
And she did.
The youth running the public
elevator noticed, ON his way down

lawgiver and philosopher, King
Solomon, SPECIALIZED as a hus'
band and no doubt would have
won the blue ribbon in any sympo-
sium-for his understanding, "
his tact, and his keen sense Of
humor.
We have often wondered If some
Of the great lovers and glamour
men Of song, story and history
would have made such desirable
and comfortable husbands. Would
Solomon, himself, have been such

sand women vying with each
other to please HIM? -
Would Abelard have been SO
patient, so romantic and so con-
slant to his Heloise, if she had
not been unattainable? # she had
been the mistress of his kitchen,
instead of the mistress OF his
imagination?
Sir Walter Raleigh may have
had all those graceful, tender, de-
voted little ways so dear to the
heart of a woman. But how do
we know that he was the sort OF
man who would have gotten UP on
a cold morning and shut the WIN
dow and turned on the steam heat
while his wife got her beauty

And as for the noble, high
minded Sir Galahad, might he not

preachments against Sunday golf?
So you SEE why none Of these
screen lovers even got honorable
mention as possible or "plu-perfect
husbands" You never can tell
about a glamour-man unless you've
been married to him at least once
Only a husband of twenty OF
thirty years good standing is a
safe bet.
Still, it IS refreshing to see
HUSBANDS get a good break now
and then.

recent symposium among Holly
wood dancing girls.
The only surprising thing about
that symposium was the startling
fact that no great lover Of the
stage or screen was mentioned or
even received so much as a single
vote. Apparently, the qualities
which go to make a perfect lover
are no more like those required in
the ideal husband than the things
you serve at cocktail parties are
like those you want for breakfast.
