Show It I H r ( :H A I I r R-ROX w O ''"'" III URING the stress II of war time mall ma-ll trons and maids jj have given up a I 111 fill reat lcal for H JPfip'iMiii"iiwi ','ig5-J t h e i r country. H ' Howover, it H seems that one recent little bride H made one of the sweetest sacrifices H that a young girl can make. The wed- H ding was to bo a hurried one and the H plans that had been made for a bril- H liant church affair were changed to a H simple home ceremony. Frocks, of H course, were simplified for the trous- H seau and all arrangements were in H keeping with war time. H Now the 'wedding was planned for H the week when the Liberty Loan H "drive" was at its height and when H every shop window was filled with H placards' and overy billboard was cov- H ered with posters asking.patriotic citi- H zens in fact, every one who lived be- Hj neath the folds of the glorious Stars H and Stripes to let their money fight H if they -were unable to go themselves H to the front. Prompted by the most H patriotic feelings she went to her M sweetheart and asked him to put the M money that he 'would use for buying H , the solitaire into Liberty bonds. Of 1 ; course, as he was a soldier lad and H , expected to be sent to France- at any M moment, ho must have felt more than B thrice blest in having such a little M comrade for life who would be willing m to put her diamond into Liberty bonds, M and they say that the petite bride is M more proud of her neat little pile of M Liberty bonds (her engagement ring), M than is a certain well known matron fl of her recently acquired necklace of M matched pearls that to her meant M nothing in comparison. M The one is wedded to her wealth. B The other to her bravo boy who is M ' bound for the battlefield, and to her M country's flag. For to the little bride, H , the stars in the fairest of battlefiags H shine more brightly than the costliest M gem that gleamed ever so brightly M from its snug place in strong box or H jewel case. The Salt Lake bride's M ring is set with forty-eight jewels of fl rarest worth which can never be tar- Br nished by time and shine all the more M brightly through the war clouds. Her H ring has a truly American setting. H B gOME of the Red Cross matrons B SJ are telling one of the best ju- H ' veriile stories of the season about a H certain little maid of barely half a H , dozen summers who, for the past six H months, has heard at home nothing M but war 'and knitting and tlie strength M of Allies and the hoped for weakness Hi of the Germans. She caused more Hj , than a ripple of surprise. at the dinner Hj$ tuole last week when she astounded Hf her parents with the following: "Mother, I think the Germans ought to win the war." "Why?" asked the astonished mother moth-er who wondered if her patriotic duty had been neglected that she should have a daughter with such convictions, even though she be young in years. "Well, mother," continued the cunning cun-ning youngster with the attractivply bobbed hair and big eyes as she scraped the last crumb of cake from her plate; "I should think the Germans Ger-mans would win 'cause they've got the ostriches and turkeys on their side." XN days gone by the knitting of socks was done entirely by the loving fingers of wives and sweethearts sweet-hearts of the soldier boys, but now machinery has come to do its bit and many Gearhardt machines are busy throughout the country knitting hundreds hun-dreds of pairs of socks a month. Mrs. Lenner X. Smith has donated two machines ma-chines that can knit six hundred pairs of socks a month for the soldier boys to the Women's Service unit of the Red Cross. The Ladies' Literary club, the Spirit of Liberty Chapter, Daughters Daugh-ters of the American Revolution, and other organizations are likewise taking tak-ing an interest In the movement to secure more of these machines. By this means they hope to multiply their production of these serviceable foot-warmers foot-warmers the old-fashioned woolen sock a hundred fold. Even the sentiment sen-timent that attaches itself to the knitting knit-ting of socks by hand surrenders at last to a systematic and speedier method. ypRS. (FREDERICK R. PALMER M and Mrs. Douglas B.

Many lovely frocks were noted and many were none the less lovely for having been worn at the ball a year ago. For many of the fairest i aamaa ar BaBBa gas matrons and maids decided that in war time money spent for new evening even-ing frocks was not well invested, and the artistic touch of the modiste made the gown of last year almost as modish as this year's "latest." It must have given the wearer a great deal of satisfaction to know that while tripping trip-ping the light fantastic for one of the noblest charities in Salt Lake, the money that would have purchased an olaborate frock has gone into Liberty bonds or helped to buy comforts for the soldier boys.
