Another Perfect Blessing

II was perfect blessing to the clerks
on the street that the ladies of the
Universalist society gave a supper in
Thayer's han, last evening. The sup
per was served, from $50 to o'clock
and during that time something like
100 people sat down to the tables. The
greater part Of these people We're clerks
from the stores along the street who
could not go home on account of the
wretched travelling. They were glad
to accept the opportunity and that
they We're repaid was shown by their
words of praise for the supper, which
was one of the best that the ladies Of
the society have ever served.
After supper the younger people took
possession of the hail and from 3
o'clock until late in the evening, danced
to the music furnished by Halls or
present a great many of the clerks
from the street going to the hall after
they had finished their work at the
stores The floor was in charge Of T..
Harold Branch, who performed his du-
ties after the manner of past master
in that line.
The affair was a great success both
rs far as the dancing went and esp"c-
tally in regard to the supper. The Ia
dies who had charge Of the supper We're
Mrs. McFadden. Mrs. Charles Grtchnil,
Miss III. A. Redington, Mrs. Baxter,
