Cleaners Successful Venture.

The Little Cleaners of the Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church. who have
taken upon themselves the pleasant
task of raising funds to help defray
the church's expenses, conducted n
very novel and interesting affair last
evening at the homes of w. w. Davis
and w. c. Williams, on South Hyde
Park avenue.
They conceived the idea of making
pillows and selling them, in addition
to providing entertainment and re-
freshments, and the manner in which
they succeeded was fully attested by
the liberal patronage accorded them.
The programme presented was thor
oughly enjoyed and included vocal
and instrumental numbers, recitations
and drills. Each participant was ac-
corded a full measure of applause for
their efforts. Thirty-nine little girls
recited "rhe Shepherd Boy" and an
other dozen gave IA O'Clock tea cup
drill. Miss May Davis recited cleverly
and Virgie and Virona DePuy sang a
pleasing d,let.
Miss Marie Becker rendered q very
pretty solo and Ruth Bryant and Mar
jorie Utt sweetly sang a duet. Blanche
Thomas, Minnie Thro and Gene Mum
son also sang and recited, and an
instrumental trio was composed OF the
Misses SAKE.
Ice cream was afterwards served by
the little misses and the guests voted
the affair one of the most successful
and pleasurable events of the season.

ments will he provided during the

The unusually high winds of yester-
day had the effect of causing many
residents to return indoors last eve

usual and the usual crowd that gath
nrs on the street corners were con-
spicuous by their absence.
