power of holding the attention of her
audience. All of the program was
good. Then fine supper provided by
the hostess was served, the proceeds of
which were for the benefit of the
church. After the dainty viands had
been done full justice to, each guest
was given a valentine as a souvenir of
the occasion, and social intercourse
