Last Monday afternoon the annual meet
ing of the Ladies Auxiliary of the y. nj
G. A. was largely attended. The Presl
dent, Mrs. A. M. Henkel, read her annua
report. It says that the operations OF The
Auxiliary had been impeded by the unpre
cedented scarcity of money, and by tn
general prevalence of sickness which hat
prevented many Of its members from ac
lively engaging in the work. These draw
backs, however, had been amellorated by al
unusual activity on the part of the mem
bers who were able to participate III Thu
work. Two more standing committee hat
been found to be necessary and had beel
created-a Committee for Visiting the Slcl
with duties similar to those of the same
committee of the Y. M. G. A., and Com
mlttee on Furnishing and Repairing, u
look after the condition of the furnishing
of the Association building. All the meet
ings of the year were well attended.
The entertainments of the Jarman chill
dren and the Lutheran church choir real
lied $56.17 for the Literary Fund.
The Trades Carnival in which ninety
young ladies participated, realized $l9o.4'
for the Auxiliary, the Episcopal church
Guild getting the other third of the sum
received.
The Coffees which were resumed on the
Sd Monday in November, though chiefly
introduced as social reunions, had brought
$24.15 into the treasury during the sly
months.
The 'sJahrmarkt'' on December 10th
18th and 18th, cleared $572.7S, and the 3
Baxter Perry concerts realized for the Aux
iIiary $40.
The Auxiliary has during the past veal

Last year it paid off 81 ,000 worth, that be
ing the amount the Association asked the

There are now 1877 members of the Aux
iliary, the organization having received l:
new members during the year and lost q
by death and removals. The President il
