LADIES'
AUXILIARY
OF THE n. M. C. a. rs BECOMING
AVERY IMPORTANT ORGAN
IzATioN-HAS LARGE
MEMBERSHIP.

The Ladies, AuN1ifary OF the y. M.
C., A. has now a membership of seven
ty-one persons. This is quite a re
markable growth considering that the
organization is only a little past six
months old. Mrs. George DeBolt is
the competent president. and there is
a vice president, representing each
church in the city. During the early
deal of the work being accomplished
by the Ladies' Auxiliary, and their
plan of campaign in every instance
was successfully carried out.
fine entertainments testified to the
ability of those in charge. The ele-
| CANT piano in the Y. NJ. G. a. rooms
testifies in part to their merit as finan-
ciers. a certain per cen of all dues
and money gained from outside
sources is laid aside for the furnish
ing of the Y. NJ. c. A. building when.
that structure is erected. Mrs. w. T.
Hartman is treasurer of the fund n
she reports its growth as. highly salts
factory to all interested. Meetings
are held The first Monday in each
month from October until June. and
these meetings are all well
No plan of work has been outlined FOR
the coming year beyond a lecture
course, arrangements for which have
been completed. The entertainments
included in this course are of very
high merit, and ones that no person
can afford missing. This was not dis
cussed with a mercenary end in view,
although it is thought that this series
of entertainment a not but prove ltl-
crative. Season tickets will be sold
for two dollars or reserved seat sea-
son tickets for three dollars. Every
other row will be reserved so as TO
give those who have not their seats
reserved a chance to occupy Just as
good chairs If they come early enough
to secure them. In his way the or
g%anization hopes to place the tickets
within the reach of every and
of ever man and woman in Fafrmont.
The idea is both ~commendable and
original, and should prove popular
enough to enable the ladies to dis
pose of every ticket on hand.
The first of the series is the Royal
Italian Band Concert, which will be
! given the 31st of October. This Is
one of the very finest musical organ1-
cations that a ever been in this
country, and the management was
only able to secure it because of its
contemplated tour to Pittsburg, Wheel
ing and Parkersburg. 1t is not often
that the smaller cities have an oppor-
tunity to listen to such an aggreSa-
ton of musicians, and we feel sure
that Fairmonters will evidence their
pleasure and approval by turning out
en- masse to hear them.
There will be mother musical en-
tertainment of exceptional merit, ana
two literary evenings that will surpass
any ~attractio heretofore offered. All
these will be given in the Grand Opera
| House., where full Justice can be done
to each and all.
A home talent affair. such as we
will be proud to invite our friends to
| witness is one Of the treats scheduled,
and his will doubtless be one of the
most elaborate and complete loca en-
t~ertainment yer placed before the
| people. 1t is certain to be no hap
hazard arrangement, but one complete
in every detail, and one that we can
boast of after, as well as before Its
elimination. The circus given by the
lads OF the Y. NJ. c.. a. will be an
annual exhibition, and certainly no
form OF entertainment could produce
an evening of greater merriment.
