A bit weary of the usual mum.
bered tables at dinner parties,
Stellita Stapleton hit upon a
novel idea for her fete. last
night in honor of Ann Carroll
Meem and "Neddie" Mclean,
who will be married tomorrow
afternoon.
Stellita named her tables for
the flowers which centere d
them. Amusingly enough and
"by pure coincidence" says the
hostess, seated at the bachelor
button table" were just about
all the eligible bachelors in
town.
IN WHITE
There was a table Of roses,
delphinium, daiSes and so on.
The head table, where the we'd.
ding party was seated, was done
completely in white.
Some go members of the
young set had been asked to
dine at Mrs. Daniel c. Staple
tons home on Massachusetts
Ave. and dance to Sydney's Tilt
ing tunes afterward.
Because the Stapletons' wis
terra is at its best just now,
Stellita selected her frock to
blend with it. It was a Vionnet
model of French blue net, worn
under deep pink, creating that
elusive Shade-wiSteria. About
her shoulders was thrown a soft
shawl of the same material,
clipped at the throat by a deep
pink rose.

Gen. Johnston Ready to Call
100, 900 to Red Cross Colors
Starts Machinery for
Enrolling Washington
in Coming Drive.

Gen. John A. Johnston, q. s. A.,
retired. just cannot shake of the
habit of calling Red Cross Roll Call.
Though he passed his s0th birthday
anniversary in February, the general
got out his walking stick yesterday
and pranced like a young fellow
from his residence on Connecticut
avenue to headquarters Of the local
Red Gross Chapter, 1901 street
NV, to put the annual roll call in
motion. Thus the general. who was
once commissioner of the District,
has been on the job since 1924.
TT seems to be an old Army Gus
tom of mine-to call the roll" the
general SAID when he was greeted by
a bevy Of beautiful young girls who
make the 22nd annual roll call of
the Red Cross "the grandest of Mnem
all"
As the man who. in the Adjutant
Generals Ofi1ce. away back in the late
and gay nineties, mustered out and
into the American Army all the VOL
unteers who fought in the Spanish
War. Gen. Johnston knows a thing
or two about call to the colors."
In reminiscent mood, the former
Army ofhcer told how he and the
late Mrs. Johnston became interested
in the. work OF the Red Cross. how
they carried through from the first
DA% {nio
services terminated in 1885. Both of
them had occupied the post Of chair
man FROM the eighth roll call on.
1T became sort OF religion with
u.s." Gen. Johnston recalled. We
were wrapped up in it, heart and
soul. I know of no finer work in the
world-anad all you have to do is look
back over the record and see what
the American Red Cross has done to
appreciate it."
1t seems that the roll call gets big
ger and better each year. For in
stance. IN 1917, the first roll call, un-
der Chairman Henry B. F. Macfar-
land, could muster only 20,290 WASH
ingtonians Last year the figures
jumped to 94,017-and this year Gen.
Johnston says its going over the top
to more than 100000"
Omcially the roll call starts Sep
tember 26 and ends October II, but
even now the young girls at head
quarters-which are in the residence
Of the late Judge John Barton Payne
are willing to take all the 81 men,
berships they can sign on the dotted
lines. In fact, they've already COL
lected few. Mostly. however, they
devote their time to getting out litera-
ture and putting up packages Of

George VI. Flanagan, 1899 presi-
dent of the club, was also intro

Mrs. Coela COSton, manager of
the Henderson county farmers
market, commonly referred to as
the curb market" was presented
by the chairman, to speak of that
remarkable and successful enter
prise. Mrs. CoSton said the enter
prise originated with eight Hem
derSon county farmers, who ac-
tually sold farm products from
their trucks ut the curb on Main
street i'm Hendersonville. The
membership of the organization is
now composed of 100 farmers.
Several years ago 4 lot was pur-
chased and Il market building
erected OH King street. The great
expansion and success of the en-
terprise, as well as the need for
additional building and parking
space, led this year to the acqul-
Sition of property on Church
street, where a new building will
be erected. 1t is hoped to house
the market in enlarged quarters
and to make it more accessible, to-
gether with the provision of much
enlarged parking space.
The market mas been success

for Henderson county farm prod

Mrs. CoSton stated, are expected
to total S3O,0u0. The speaker said
that 30 per cent of this farm in

HenderSonville and the business
Of the community thus profits
