and Mrs. William D. Hoxic of 315 Clinton avenue. Society Girls in War Activities The wings of society ceased fluttering last week in the stupendous effort to oversubscribe the Third Liberty Loan. One or two annual card parties and perhaps a musicale were listed by the society woman's secretary as "must attend" functions, but her diurnal round has been an early morning visit to the Liberty Loan headquarters, forenoon campaign, Liberty Loan luncheon party, followed by an afternoon drive, and at the conclusion the balancing of the day's receipts.

In the evening she again worked in a Liberty Loan booth, or assisted on a committee arranging a monster rally to add to the totals. Her daughters have emulated her activity. No dances were attended by the younger set, nor could they serve as ushers or program girls at the end of their twelve or fifteen hour day. On either side of Borough Hall, along the downtown thoroughfares, in Flatbush, Bay Ridge, and other sections of the city the girls of the National League and the Junior League could be seen urging the passers-by to "Buy Another Bond." Not until 10 p.m. would they call it a day and return to their homes.

At one of the biggest of the borough's demonstrations, occasioned by the visit of the Blue Devils of the Alpine Chasseurs and Pershing's men, Brooklyn's best- known girls came to the fore in obtaining subscriptions. Working side by side with policemen and firemen they mingled with the thousands banked in front of Borough Hall, following hundreds of appeals with signed subscriptions. Miss Isabel Ide, Miss Eleanor Ide, Miss Mona Kene, Mrs. Alanson Enos, Miss Frances Dudley and Miss Laura Dudley, Miss Zorka Polak, Miss Constance Marks, Miss Anne Thompson, Miss Agnes Thompson, Miss Elizabeth Thayer, Mrs. Jess Jessen Dall, Miss Marie Dorsey, Miss Adelaide Moffatt, Miss Elizabeth Haight, Miss Elizabeth Armstrong, Mrs.

Sidney Kennedy, Miss Edna Wood and Miss Mabel Coutts were some of the Junior League girls recognized among the crowd. In the center, to the right of the grandstand stood a group of the National League Motor Corps girls in their natty uniforms. Incidentally it might be mentioned that the National League had passed the one million dollar mark in subscriptions by Thursday. Shortly after the Motor Corps girls had formed a congratulatory cordon about Sergeant Eugene A. McNiff.

a hero not unknown to most of the girls before his trip over there, a mothery figure emerged from the mass of poop and gave an osculatory stration of the proper way to congratulate hero s. Captain Ruxton and the officers and privates in her compary, including Lieutenants Betts and Downs, and Miss Betty Van Heckaren. Mist Dorothy Lamphear, Miss Ile en Morrow, Mrs. Frances and Miss Beatrix Sutton, were evidently for they were sern grecting Lieutenant La Mole, commander of the Blue Devils and possessor of many medals ado ned with pa'm branches and stars for repeated valor, with a hearty American hand clasp. Neither the commander nor his bronzed veterans attempted to disguise their admiration for these right-hand workers who are tying to do their bit at home.

At the Garden City Hotel last Sunday it was demon trated that the spirit of efficiency of the Motor Corps girl is conally active under fluffy feminine attire as under the severe businces-like khaki of her every-day costume. One of a group of soldiers from Camp Mills, who ware spending a few afternoon hours at the hotel, was taken suddenly i'l. In less than it takes to give command an attractive girl with a dark cloak over a dainty afternoon frock was seen hastening to the group. Upon her arrival she threw off her wrap and insisted on putting it acro: 5 the shoulders of the sick soldier, who was supported by an officer and another comrade. The officer recognized a superior, and.

at her suggestion, the soldier was taken in a nearby car to the bararcks luxuriously swathed in the silken folds of the cloak of a Nationa! League Motor Corps member. A few days of rest, in the way of general routine work, are ahead of the girls. The Red Cross drive is the next all-important event looming upon their horizon, eclipsing many May partics and spring dances, but giving promise of another strenuous season for the forwarding of the cause of the Allies. pathic Medical College for Women, Dr. Cornelia C.
