in Union hall wednesday evening by the
girls from the Harriet Goodrich home in
Westminster, assisted by Mr. and Mrs.
Beddy of Westminster, Mrs. Wilder, Miss
Osgood and "Mr BARRIERS orchestra" of
Bellows Falls. The little girls spoke sew
eral pieces in a very creditable manner
| showing goodly amount of training. They
also gave doll and flag drills in which it
was very funny to see the efforts of one
little maid to keep her place. Instead of
detracting from interest in their movements
it was really an added enjoyment. 1t was
the first time a Bellows Falls audience has
had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Beddy
sing, and it was a pleasure which it is
hoped may be repeated. The receipts
were about $50, with not heavy expenses
Though a fair amount will be realized it
will not be as much as the Friends of the
home could wish. 1t is in every way de-
serving institution. There are two girls
from Bellows Falls in the home at present
