Naomi Tent, No 3, held their first
meeting in Masonic Hall, Anacostia
Monday evening. 1t was an open social
and love feast Music was provided by
Miss Verde Catterton, Miss Lulu Mobley
and Messrs. Edgar Arnold and Harry
Kelly. Mr.. Leon Milstead auctioned off
| the donations, after which an enjoyable
| supper was had. The young people then
| played many games, after which the en-
| tertainment closed. The entertainment
was in charge of Mrs, Mary Il. Crawford
and Miss Agnes Catterton. A nice little
| sum was realized. The friends and mem
bers of this tent have stout hearts and the
sneers and non encouragement they have
received during the past two years has
only strengthened their determinations
| to go forward with the work. If they
faint not they shall reap.
