ment of our skill and thoughtful care.
/ This brings me to speak again of pretty
ornaments and adOrnments for the rooms,
| which always delight and please the boys
! 80 much. a very pleasant and attractive
| little home we have, but we want to keep
| it so, and still further beautify 1t. Many
| Of US plead go little time" but surely
| There are Others who have leisure and
means at command for this work.
Our Hover committee. who were added
| last year, were again reappolnted, and We
| trust that the bright, fragrant posles sent
| N have not been without sweet lessons OF
! of comfort and inspiration for good,
| breathing as they do the story of Gods
! goodness TO men, and bidding Us make our
lives as pure and undefiled as they.
Another department of our work as
you will know, has been the furnish
! ing of refreshments for the
annual and quarterly meeting Last
September, you will remember, h.s was
I a pleasant and agreeable feature OF one oc-
| cason, as also in March, when generous
/ hospitality was dispensed to a large num-
Der of persons fully sustaining the excel
! lent reputation OF the auxiliary IN this
regard.
At the annual tea. which is given to the
ladies and their friends also held IN
March, large number responded to the
invitations sent out, ali of whom were
made 10 eel very much at home, the host
ess and Aer aids for The occasion proving
most happy entertainers. Reports showed
the society to be in excellent condition
both numerically and financially, and that
the year had been one OF efficient and har-
7OniOus work throughout. he treasurer
IT ported all bills paid. besides 80 given
for state work, anu neat surplus IN the
trea sury. In June about so was

spiritual welfare or the young men as well.
II they ould hear the tervent prayers
which 20 up for them and their work they
would certainly rejoice at such power
pleading be- core heayen in their behalf.
The Sunday afternoon meetings started
the auxiliary pro wed the stepping stone 20
\. W. c. A This was organized last
January and Is; now an efficient and active
organization w hich hopes after Il while to
be able to Compel with the young men,
Before we close we must make mention
Of I. TACT which VIC Will probably find out
later Tonight Tin, auxiliary departs from
its usual custom an as one lady tritely
put it there Will be no eatin's" with one
exception We have present with us a
distinguished visitor. The Fisherman,
VINO Oh "a former occasion announced that
he was most easily pleased any part OF the
bird would do and for him another lady
plate of choice chicken necks. For the
sake of some of you W ho don't understand,
it may be well to mention that this is
joke.
But, to return, if you please do not
blame the ladies auxiliary for the absence
of the usual cOliating ''after-sweets."
They had voted to refresh you still farther,
but the directors wisely concluded that as
the program would DE lengthy and the
audience large, this part of the exercises
had better be dispensed with. SO we have
made this little statement just here, in
order to clear our skirts" as it were
In two weeks we are told there will be
an anniversary exercise for the young men
and Immediate friends, aud for that oc-
casion we promise them, not only our
sweetest welcome and sunniest smiles, but
also plentiful sprinkhng Of good things
to eat. GRACE II. LOVE, Sec'y.
