between the "huts" of the Y. M. C. A

and the Knights of Columbus bo as to be accessible to all the troops. The movement is a non-sectarian as the Red Cross and as humanitarian in its

purpose. For that reason the War De

work. ."I have been in conference with

Louis Bailey, the divisional head of

the War Council, by long distance,

In conjunction with him I .am calling this meeting on Tuesday. At least ten neighboring cities with their may

ors, librarians and leading citizens will be in attendance. "Richmond will be represented in this movement in all its departments.

The Commercial club through its secretary Mr. Albus, has already pledged Its support. So also have all the woman's clubs in the federation. We expect a big and enthusiastic meeting."

Flickers of What's Comingto Murrette

"Life is just one wedding after another," exclaimed Fannie Ward, the beautiful Lasky-Paramount star who will be seen at the Murrette on Wednesday and Thursday, in "Her Strange Wedding," a story written especially for her.

justing her flowers in the beautiful bridal bouquet. "If I am married much more," she continued, "I don't believe I shall be able to stand it. Weddings are fearfully expensive and when you start in being married every two months or so, out of respect to your husband and the production you must have a new wedding gown for each marriage. After this I shall insist upon the scenario writers having me elope in a kitchen apron or at least in a traveling suit instead of these formal wedding outfits such as I wore in The Years of the Locust,' this production and several others.
