CUBAN WOMEN HAVE ORGANIZED
EFFICIENT RED jCROSS BRANCH
Land of Dolce Far Niente Transformed Into a
Beehive of Industry by Charitably Inclined
' and Patriotic Women
THAT the' Cuban women, whom p
usually associate with the Indolent
Women of other warm countries, me
wholly alive to the responsibilities a state
of war has Imposed on them Is evidenced
In the splendid work they have been
doing through their elllclcnt and well
organized lted Cross branch.
It Is pood to hear nf Cuba as othet
than a land of dolce far nicntr ami 1"
picture the women busily knitting ooks
or rolling bandages In place of tbeli for
mer customary dawdling over ten tips
A coirespondcnt from that ctntntrx
writes:
"Cuba has now taken Its place, tmi
only as one of the democratic tuitions of
the world, but ns one of Its newest flood
Samaritans. It has become an Important
factor In that army of mercy, the lted
Cross. With Mm, Mariana Sovn le Men
ocal, the wife of the riesldent of Cuba,
nji chairman of the women's section of
the Cuban lted Cross, and more than 1300
representative women of the Island ac
tively engaged, the movement for war
relief work has Just been revived under
the most favorable auspices. Madame
Menocal called a meeting of women from
all parts of Cuba to formulate plans fen
co-operation with the American Hcd
Cross In the making of bandages and
hospital supplies for the soldiers In Ku
rope and for the armies of the t 'tilted
Btates and Cuba, which hope to a man
to aid In the war on Curopean foil.
"While Cuban women have been busy
making small comfort kits and sewing
stockings and handkerchiefs for the sol
diers of France since tho first ye.r of
the war. never has the feeling for doing
something big and useful for the Allies
reached such Intensity. A host of en
thusiastic women are read, to leave their
unny homes to engage in lted Cios
Work on the battlefield. Tho women of
Cuba have indicated their icadlness ti
make many sacrifices In order to be of
Use to tho sick and wounded who are suf
fering In the cause of tho Allien, which
Is Cuba's cause
TT IS Interesting to look back n few
1- years and note the humble circum
stances under which Cuba became a lted
Cross nation. The Island republic had
barely emerged from a condition of In
ternal chaos which cilppleij the social
and IndUbtrial lifo of the country, when
a call of distress from across the sea
turned the attention of the Cuban people
away fiom their own homes to those of
the foreign sufferers. It was In 1309, when
the earthquake on the Island of Sicily
laid waste thousands of homes nnd left
ft host of human belnis without shelter
or food Cuba vvas laboring hard In the
rehabilitation of Its own revolt-ildden
land. Its own people weie In dlto need.
Yet In the spirit of the flood Samaritan
the little Island republic stretched out Its
hand and, working with larger Powers
which came to the aid of Messina, offered
BUccor to the hungr) nnd homeless

of Cuba went nbout the sick, fearless In

Should Working Man Give Up Scat
Tn the Editor of VPnmfia'a Page:
Dear Madam The other day I was enlnc
home from a hard day's work and a girl Hbnut
twenty eara of nge cam Into the inr She
had a lot of bundles I supine Hrm had been
downtown ahnpplng - and the man who was with
her asked me to let her sit down. Should I
hae let her alt down' Don't you think persons
who go shopping should go home early and not
watt until the cars are crowded with working
people? A WOHKKH.
I'nder ordinary elrcumstances the man
should not haxe naked you to give up your
seat, although It Is Just possible that tho
girl may Imve felt faint from the crowd or
overexertion It Is Inrnnslderatn of jioung
girls and women to shop until the last
minute, then expect tired men to give up
their seats to them on tho way home, but
then, too, you must not forget that many
of the women ou see on the cars nt this
hour with bundles arc also wage-earners
and must snatch what time they can for
necessary shopping.
Who Gives Wedding Reception?
To the Editor of Woman's Paoe:
Pear Madam I am' a oung fellow and am
to b married next month. My aweetheart Uvea
In New Jersey, and we are to hae a big
partv on our wedding day Her parents Insist
on having the party In her home town, but
mv parnta also Insist on halna It In my home
town AVe neither of us care wher It la given
Will ou kindly state In the Woman's Ex
change where the party should be given In her
town or In mine II I) T
It Is always usual for the bride tn be
married In her own home or In n church In
her own town, aid the reception should
always be given after the ceremony nt the
bride's home, or In n hotel If the home Is
not large enough. Of course, there are cir
cumstances which make It Impossible some
times for one of the bridegroom's parents
to journey anywhere, through Illness, per
haps, and when this Is the case a bride may
be married from her future husband's home
and the reception may then be held there.
Take Girl to Cafe?
To (n Editor of IVomoa'a Paat!
Dear Madam la It good form to take a
young lady to a cafe or roof garden after an
evening at the theatre for a little supper! W tat
ahould one order under clrcumatance auch aa
these! FRANK.
It depends very much on tha age of the
girl. It she Is still very young that Is.
under twenty-three or twenty-four It would
be better not to do so, but It can usually
be left to the girl herself to decide You
might ask her, and If her parents have no
objection she will accept or vice versa.
A bouillon or clams, a aalad of some such
tUsli aa chlckefi a I Klnr, followed by an
ice, would be appropriate.

My the Lessons ILearaest
m the Mexicasi Sgordes:?
A year ago our whole military organization was put to an
acid test by the call to the Mexican Border, and every defect
and weakness was illuminated. It devolves on us now to
apply the knowledge gained to the present situation.
How wc can do so is shown in an uncommonly vivid and
interesting book entitled, WATCHING AND WAITING ON
THE BORDER, written by ROGER BATCHELDER, a
member of one of the machine gun companies.
To every one who wants to see America make a record in
the present war which she can be proud of, wc recommend a
study of this book.
