The Railroad Y. NJ. C.. a.. has an aux
iliary society of ladies that makes a
success of its every undertaking and is
a valuable aid to the parent organiza-

takfngs was tour around the world in
ene evening. In the neighborhood of 800
people We're patrons of this excursion,
which was given Friday evening, and
every one who participated has since
been saying complimentary things of
the ladies and their ability to provide
entertainment and at the same time SCI
cure a good financial return.
