An Interesting meeting, of the aid

society of Reid Memorial church was

held yesterday afternoon at the

church. Plans for the next year's

work were discussed and each member pledged her support and interest In

the coming Red Cross work which the society proposes to take up. The next meeting will be the second Wednesday in January at the church. At that time Red Cross will be provided for every one. The food administration of the United States is making a special call on every woman to conserve now to feed the soldiers who are still overseas and

to feed our allies. Empty ships Can

not be sent from America to France to get loads of soldiers. People are starv

ing on the other shore and must have

food from America. Every ship that

leaves the American ports must be filled with food. There are more than

two million soldiers overseas who must

be fed. and millions of liberated peoples are looking to the United States for food. The housewife must now save food in order to save the world, that her son helped rescue from absolute destruction. This work of saving will last until Europe gets back on its feet, and this task-is greatest of all for . it must be done in a few months. The American wornen have proved that they are able to do this, they will save food to win th? world, just as they saved food to win the war. The Frances E. Willard W. C. T. U. will meet tomorrow afternoon with Mrs. A. O. Snlvely at her home, 28 North Eleventh street. The subject for discussion during the afternoon will be "Americanization."

"TO THEM THAT HATH " Edith was sewing a patch on the knee of small Jack's stocking and figuring at the same time how to pare dowa expenses somewhere so as to buy a new rug for the living room. She had to set the morris chair at an absurd angle now to cover up the hole in the present floor covering those cheap grass mats do wear out so once they start. Since she had used rice to replace potatoes rice had risen in cost. Perhaps beans were cheaper; she must try and see if John would eat dried lima beans. As for bacon, what a crime! Well, she was saving a little by buying butterine, anyhow, and John hadn't kicked much. Next time she boupht shoes for tho children she was going to try that composition stuff that they're using now instead of sole leather. Perhaps, with the rigid cutting out of eggs and cream for a few weeks, and using more macaroni and chese, she could manage the new rug Into her reverie of economics broke the light voice of Fay Summers. "I've come to Invite you to my engagement luncheon," breezed the girl as she spread her chiffon skirts daintily in the nearest chair. Edith drew a long breath as she dragged her mind from her household problems and glanced up at the externally lovely young spendthrift before her. Edith never looked upon Fay Summers without experiencing a vague feeling of resentment. Fay was the sort of girl who seemed created for the specific purpose of setting at naught all the moral axioms in the world. Fay never did to others as she liked others to do to her. Yet the others were always doing for Fay. She was not meek far from it yet she was always inheriting the earth. She con

sidered it more blessed to receive than

to give. She judged harshly, yet she was no more harshly judged than the average person. Virtuous people went unrewarded while Fay got all sorts of undeserved happiness. She was one of those who, having much, were always receiving added benefits, while others who had little, lost even that.

quarts of preserves were also sent. Mrs. William Kienker and Mrs. George Bartel gave a vocal duet .lur

ing the evening. The officers elected

were: President, Mrs. Charles Surrendorf; vice president, Mrs. L. C. Hasecoster; secretary, Miss Ida Kemper; assistant secretary, Miss Emma Hasecoster; treasurer, Miss Elizabeth Drifmeyer; assistant treasurer, Miss Mary Hasemeier. The membership committee is composed of Mrs. Vern. Coltrane, Mrs. Ben Wellbaum and Mrs. Ed Kettleford; social committee, Mrs. Lena Heitbrink, Sirs. William Kienker, Mrs. Frank Grimme and Mrs. George Brehm; visiting committee, Miss K:vthryn Burkhardt, Miss Mame Bartel and Mrs. George Bartel; devotional committee, Mrs. Ed Hasemeier and Mrs. Ed Sweet; missionary committee, Mrs. Carl Beckman and Mrs. George Havens. The hostesses for this meeting were Mrs. Snrrendorff, Mrs. Chris Bailv nd Mrs. Frerl Klute.

Much of this having passed through Edith Ferrol's mind in a flash, she replied to Fay's announcement of the engagement luncheon by a monosyllabic "Yes? When?" "Well, I. think the puppies will be old enough by a week from Saturday," was Fay's puzzling rejoinder. "Puppies?" "Yes. I'm going to have twelve brindle bull puppies for the souvenirs. Isn't it a cute idea? I've ordered them from the Cosmo Kennels." Edith's eyes widened in amazement. She put down her mending and gazed searchingly at the girl her brother was going to marry. "You don't mean " she began in protest, but Fay cut in. "Oh, now, dop't begin to preach economy. Ycu know I detest economy I The dogs will cost twenty-five apiece and they're cheap as dirt at that But they're all arranged for. What's bothering me is where I can get some good terrapin. I've set my heart on having terrapin. . I . may have to send south for it. And do you happen to know where I can get some real good alligator pears? I don't care what they cost." Edith bit back the sharp answer she longed to make. She knew Fay was detailing her plans largely in a spirit of mischief. It amused her to clash with Edith on questions of proper spending. "No, I don't know where your supplies can be bought. Fay," she answered quietly. "But I should think that even if you don't mind laying ihis extraordinary expense upon your aunt, Mrs. Blake, and setting a standard that the man, you marry will find it hard if not impossible to live up to, you would hate to spend hundreds of dollars in such a way when the whole world is plunged in the suffering of war and people are actually dying for lack of food and care! I honestly don't see how you can do it. Fay!" "There you go I knew it!" smiled Fay mockingly. "How can I help it if the world's all topsy-turvy? It's the duty of some of us to put a little gayety into it. I'm for being happy, I am. Why! Here comes Ned! Oooo hoo!" she shouted in greeting as Flowerton came up the path. But there was no response. Ned's face was dark with trouble. (To be continued.)

Unselfish Gift No other gift can bring such all-'round pleasure so many people as The Brunswick Phonograph. The entire family and all one's friends can particioate in this enjoyment. It is for this reason so many people choose The Brunswick as a Christmas gift and why so many families "pool" their Christmas money; so that all gain far more satisfaction than in receiving small, individual presents. The tendency this Christmas is "a worth while present for all" rather than "a knick-knack for each." The Brunswick is an ideal choice. It will prove an ever-present delight for years to come. This super-phonograph plays all records as they should be played the tone is superb. Hear it today. Decide early. Avoid the rush later.
