A Pleasant Reception.

The Board Of Directors of the Y. M. G.
A. gave a reception to the Woman's
Auxiliary on Monday evening, the fir1t
anniversary of the latter's organization.
The reception was held at the residence
of Supt. and Mrs. j. w. Simmons, Sagi-
nav Street, where the ladies had their
annual meeting. After the gentlemen
had served the refreshments, which
were greatly enjoyed by the ladies, if
one could judge by their actions, Presi
dent Ensminger in few well chosen
words of greeting addressed the Auxil
iary thanking them for their kindly as
sistance during the past year. Miss Ger
trude Davis responded very happily to
the sentiment Relation of the Womans
Auxiliary to the Y. NJ. G. A." She said
in brief.
The Auxiliary is an aid, or an help
meet to the y. NJ. G. A. The most inn
portant relations may be considered
along two lines namely, social and
spiritual. The social needs are most APP
parent in cities, where to-day the young
men and boys Of our land are flocking
These young people are the ones in
whom the Auxiliary are especially in
terested. These needs may be met in
vari ways. One hostess serves din
ner on the "Win one Plan" Here are
only three Of the many dishes she sug~
gests.
Soup seasoned with bright sparkles of
wit for wits to the conversation what
salads to the feast"
Roast Turkey with dressing which
she makes as follows she collects all
the crumbs from the Y. NJ. G. A. tables
such as books, magazines, daily news,
etc, chops them fine and seasons with
sage-ness, ice cream, cake and creamy
pufis for the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION and especially for the efficient
Board of Directors.
In all entertainments let finance be
subordinate. That silent yet powerful
influence for good upon young men is
what we want to-day more than any
thing else.
The Woman's Auxiliary should never
forget the influence of good literature
should never forget to send invitations
to friends to attend the Y. M. @. A.
meetings, should never forget to pray
for young men everywhere.
Miss Anna Bartrem followed. respond.
ing to the sentiment, THE Ideal Wo'
mans Auxiliary" in very pleasing
manner. She said in part:
An ideal Woman's Auxiliary should
! consist of ideal women whose object i:
to aid in the salvation and education o.
young men.
Such an Auxiliary could not be repre-
sented by that dainty plant, the ivy
! green, depending, perhaps upon the gen
2 eral secretary, for support; neither
should it be the Y. M. G. A., but shoulC
sustain the same relation to the Y. M
G. A. which that organization bears tt
the church.
! o. w. Holmes has shown an idea
Woman's Auxiliary in the little steam
tug and the ship which he describes a
o follows: 81 have seen tall ship glide b,
Q against the tide, as if drawn by some in
. visible tow-line with q hundred stron;
Q arms pulling it. Her sails untitled, he
2 streamers dropping, she has neither side
Q wheel nor stern wheel, sill she move'
q on. steadily in serene triumph.
o But j knew that on the other side
9 hidden beneath the great bulk tina
4 swan so majestically, there was a littl
toilsome steam tug, with heart of fir
. and arms of iron. that was Juggling
Z bravely on and l knew that if the lii
70 tie steam tug untwined her arm and lei
. the ship 1t would go off with the It'd,
e no man knows whittier"
