ROYAL RANGERS?NEW |
ORGANIZATION IN TRYON
FIRST PUBLIC PERFORMANCE
ON NOVEMBER 17TH.
There's something new in Tryon-~
organization of those who djont
cant or won't play bridge.
They are known as the "Royal
Rangers"?just what their aim or
activities are has never been clearly
defined and like other groups of
secret societies the roster of their
membership has not been published.
All that is known of them so far
is that they do not give bridge parties.
and that on Wednesday evening
November 17h at the Lanier Library
at 8 o'clock they will give an entertainment
for the benefit of the reorganization
fund of the Library.
This entertainment will consist of
two skits, talk by Miss Mary Car- J
penter on what tyas /been accomplished
in the work of putting the
Library on an up-to-date basis, refreshments
and informal dancing.
The tickets are fifty cents with refreshments
extra.
The first skit is entitled "Through
the Heavens Fall" and is a take off
on a bridge party. The cast is follows:
Mr. John Stay Home?A Protector
?Mr Crandall.
Mrs. John Stay Home?-A Climber
?Mrs. Fraser.
Mr. Grand Slam ? A grouch?Mr.
Weigel.
Mrs. Grand Slam?Ane Enthusiast
?Mrs. Metcalf.
Miss Rachel Rubber?A Gossip?
Dr. Perry.
Miss Simple Honors?An Assistant?Mrs.
Troendle.
Mr. Ace O. Spades?A Victim?
Mr. Peattle,
Mr. .Little Slam?A Ritualist?Mr.
Richardson.
Madame X?An Unknown?Miss
Schilling.
The second skit has something of
a literary or library flavor. It is
called "Place a"x Dames" or "Ladies
Speak at Last." The cast consists
of:
Juliet?Mrs. Steene,
Portia?Mrs. Dobbyn.
Ophelia?Miss Vida McKellar
Lady Macbeth?Miss Holden.
In this the Shakespearean heroines

each other what kind of husbands
they would have had, provided they
had been created by their author,
and staged at the present day.
It is understood that those taking
taking part in this entertainment
are members of the "Royal Rangers" j
but whatever your complexion is?a
bridge fan?a bridge player or one
wh0 can't, don't or won't, you are
urged to K? to Library on Wednesday
the 17th and have a good <
laugh.

evening at the Parish House, with
performances of tw0 plays by Lord
Dunsany, "The Gods of the Mountain,"
which is in two acts, and ?n
amusing trifle, "The Lost Silk Hat."
For a change, all tho&e taking
part in these plays are men.
Mrs. Peattie is casting these plays
and she hopes t0 have the male
section of fTryon well ^represented
in them.
Several other plays are under consideration,
all of them new to Try??
onH thti nrosnects are favorable
Ull, UilU buv ! ?
for a brilliant series of readings.
The plays are not yet announced,
for several clever performers have
not yet returned for the winter:
The organization lacks a number
of very able persons this season,
for it J^is lost some by their removal
from Tjyon. Among these
are Mrs. Dennison, whose delicious
comedy added so much to last season's
entertainments and Miss
Marie Pratt, whose art helped to
carry more than one Play by the
force of her talent. It is doubtful
if we shall see Mr. Lawence Goulette,
for whom it might almost be
said certain parts seemed to have
been written for him. Latest reports
are that he is a member of a professional
company. All three will
be^ missed by their admirers.
To newcomers in Tryon it might
be told that the Drama Fortnightly
is composed of amateurs who contribute
their services, and although
several of them have developed considerable
talent, they are amateurs
and pretend to nothing more than
intelligent reading of their parts. As
commitment to memory would cut
the number of plars to two, or at
most three for the season, the plays
are read.
To those familiar with the regular
theatre, this way seems an unsatisfactory
manner in which to
-?.? -? hv this means
picacui piajo, -'J ??
many of /phe diqfidyajit^es of .the
ordinary amateur performance are
obviated and at least ten plays are
given during the winter.
The Drama Fortnightly is a community
affair. Everyone is invited
not only to attend the performances,
but to take part in them.
The work is not onerous, and everyone
participating gets as much fun
out of the performance as does the
audience.
The object is delight fop both
sides of the footlights. Nc one expects
perfection, and it is seldom
achieved, but modern plays which
otherwise Tryon would know only
by hearsay are given with intelligence,
and often with an aoprach
to excellence.
If the circumstances are kept in
mind, a great deal of enjoyment
can be had.
No admission is charyed. Anyone
who wishes to come is welcome.
There is usually someone at the
door who will gladly receive any
money Ahose 1n attendance may
wish to leave. Persons who intend
to be here during the season usually
contribute a dollar for the ten perfrmances,
but everyone is invited in
any case.

IN THK realm of Junior fashions,
coats tell a very different atory
from frocks for the coining inoiiihs. ill
dtcordance will' latest dictates the
wraps young girls wear are quite conservative
and sedate In appearance,
while dresses are quite fussed up
with all sorts of crafty handwork and
gay trimmings.
If the little girl In the picture would
let us catch a glimpse of the frock she
is wearing, It would, very likely, be
much be-trlmmed and elaborated with
cunning detail, perhaps have a clever
narrow helt with a cunning buckle 'n'
everything?but mark the simplicity
and styling of the coat. Of the superior
quality kind Is this coat The
material Is of the best, being a handsome
bollvla cloth. It rauy be navy,

* major responsibility of the Amerl- M
tan Red Cross. If
This situation is due to the lncreas- M
ing problems Involved and the con- ffl
plex character of veteran legislation. M
There Is also an Increase In numbers If
of "death cases" handled, as com- ffl
pared with claims for living veterans,
though the work for the latter re fi|
mains heavy. About 20,000 ex-service M
men are dying each year, a consider- B
able percentage of these having serv- Q
Ice-connected disabilities. . g
In a majority of cases, Red Cross ij
Chapters find their assistance Is need- |j
ed in helping dependents present M
I their claims for death compensation,
Insurance payments, bonus, burial &1- |i
lowances, and other government ben- g
efits due them. An episode of the g
past year Illustrates the difficulties g
frequently encountered by the Red
Cross experts in rendering such as- ?
Bistance. A veteran dying from serv- c<
Ice-connected disease, was trying from T;
I hip hariHirifl to establish at that late
time his claim for Government aid to ^
Ills family, and the necessary proofs d
were In a physician's records across
! the continent from him. To obtain
the needed affidavits before It was too jjj
late, a cross-continent airplane flight
was necessary, then a Red Cross |R
Chapter in Pennsylvania hurried the
Investigation, sending the paper* '
back to the veteran and his Red '
Cross helpers in Oregon, by air-mall.
It reached there in time.
Another discovery in Red Cross as- j
sistance to veterans and their fami- ,
lies is that many dependents of these ^
men unquestionably entitled to Government
aid, have struggled along, L
Ignorant of their rights. a,
Aproximately 2,686 Red Cross Chapters
carry on Home Service work, in
I assistance to veterans and their dam- ?
Hies. The Chapetrs also conduct _
| campaign among veterans tor rein
statement and conversion of their
| term insurance. Among Its other du!
ties, the Red Cross assumed at the
! request of the Canadian Government
j the administration of a fund allotted
to the care of Canadian disabled veterans
living in the United States.
In the United States the Red Cross
, assisted an average of about 80,000
? disabled veterans and their families
, every month In the past fiscal year.
> Indicating the alxe of this under tak!
lng, National Headquarters of the
' Red Croee expended |1,611,178.18 on
, disabled veterans alone, and $509,'
451.72 on assistance to men on active
duty with the Army, Navy and Marine
| Corps, while Red Cross local Chap'
ters expended a total of $1,987,000.
Red Cross assistance to service mei
overshadowed every other phase of
j[ its program, even Its disaster relief,
h until the Florida hurricane.

L such capital loans were to blind vet*
erans. '
Contact with veterans In hospitals
Is maintained by Red Cross personnel
which doctors agree Influences the
veteran's welfare and Improvement
The Veterans' Bureau was planned
to carry on social work- in Its hospitals
for mental eases, and in many
cases the Government and the Red
Cross are co-operating for the welfare
of the men suffering war disabilities.
The public Is invited to assist this
work by joining the Red Cross during
the Annual Roll Coll, November 11
to 25.
ALWAY8 AT WORK TO RELIEVE
DI8TRES8
Since 1905 the American Red Crosa
has given relief to 854 disasters in
the United States alone, a year seldom
passes without a major calamity
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or
flood. The Red Cross In each case has ?
remained on the job until relief waa "

Iuuuipieteu.
Last year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the outstanding
relief operation by the Red <
Cross. The Florida hurricane In Sep- !
tember created a problem which ex- <1
ceeded in proportions any disaster {J
since the San Francisco fire. ?
By joining the American Red Cross ] J
every American can do his part to <
make Its services continuously effec- '
tlve. The Annual Roll Call from No- <
vember 11 to >6, this year, is your opportunity.
More than 43,000 nurses ayfe en- '
I rolled in the American Red Cross.
They re ever ready for emergency x
