NEXT Monday nfternoon at 3 o'clock
Hrlgadlcr General L. W. T. Waller la
going to address tlio workers of the Inde
pendence Sfiuaro Auxiliary of the Red
Cross, and If you have over heard that de
lightful General tail: you'll want, to be
there. Ho. la going to tell ua what Vto can
do for our boys, and It seems to mo rather
Hue to get first-hand Ideas from ono who
knows.
I.lko many or most of tho other auxil
iaries, Independence Square has been asked
to give 1000 surgical dressings beforo De-i-cmbcr
20. Major Grnyhon Murphy, V. S. A.
you remember Clruysoii, don't you, when
he Used to cohio on from West 1'olnt to
dance nt tlio Saturduy i:cnlng Dancing
Class, all dressed up In his rcgtmontuls,
and tho small sub-debbles almost died of
excitement when ho asked them to dance?
Well, Iiq'h nt tho head of thcr lied Cross
"over thero" has asked for 200,000 dress
ings .very soon, and so all tho rooms aro
doing a. pushing business, for with their
usual generosity they aim to do more than
they aro nsked for,
AND honest to goodness, when jou see
O.U10 Mzo nf 11 2U-hich wipe, for In
Hlancr, j 011 wonder how much could bo
ilone'u'ltli 11 thousand of thtm, they, uio so
small; "nhd ireti't thoy tho dickens to do?
Yaa.'baAU to bo nrmecl with u 1 uler and a
wooden paddle, and )ou havo to pinch and
paclc and pull thread. K'h such a re
sponsibility, too, when ono realizes that a
Klnglo thread left looso might get Into a
, wound und cause blood poisoning anddoath.
Tho mi-asm cmcnls havo to bo so exact:
but oven bo, ono feels that ono Is really
helping a llttlo by it few hours of patient
nnd palnstnlclng labor and It's worth It all
to help our bravo boys, many of whom havo
already given their lives and been wounded
while helping to make our country a safo
placo for us to lle In.
TO RETCRN to tho Independence Squaro1

SHU was on her way to a house patry In
Maryland, when tho train stopped at
Wilmington und amid a shower of rlco and
whlto ribbons a bride and groom Jumpod'ou
board. On tho platform was n shouting
group of bridesmaids and u facotlous best
loan, who, beforo tho train started again,
managed to slip a few' - printed curds
through tho windows. Not to seem un
gracious she took ono, but being .tempo
rarily far more Interested in romance writ
ten than In any romance of real life, slipped
It into her handbag with barely a glance.
At the house party she met Him, or,
rather, what sho thought was "Mm,"
which, you know, amounts to tho samo
thing when tho orchestra Is playing a won
derful waltz and the moon looks In through
the conservatory' windows. And so when
the party broko up on Monday, as so many
parties do, they decided to como back to
town on the 'same train. At the station
thero were the usual threats of rlce-throw-Ing
always lrreslstlbh to house parties
and she began to get a bit nervous, es
pecially as He had a teasing light In his
eyes. But her -fears were somewhat laid
at rest when tho train came In some twenty
minutes late, after tho manner of southern
trains, and the goodabys were said quietly
and soberly,
Tho train was Jammed, of course, but she
managed to settle herself somehow among
tho many suitcases and tried to talk uncon
cernedly to her traveling companion, al
though she knew her faco was getting
redder and redder arid she self-conscloilsly
felt that all ej cs were upon them. A much-
needed relief came when the conductor
breezed" In suddenly from nowhere and de
manded tickets Instantly, as Is the trying
way of conductors, and she began a. scram
ble through her handbag, during which
powder .was spilled and everything mlxod
up hopelessly. Finally from the very bot
tom of the bag she pulled the truant from
Its hiding place and handed it over trl-
mtly, her- trpublea at an end., with

the catlsfled feeling that at .lust people
would stop looking at her. Hut alas for
her feelings t Tho ticket sho handed out
so complacently Wa plain whlto nnd In
