one OF the most pleasant gatherings
OF the season was that which consti-

eign Mission Society OF the Broadway
Methodist church Friday afternoon
and evening al the parsonage. The
purpose OF the social was to raise a
special mission fund. and as the la
dies OF the church had the affair in
hand it was well attended and highly
enjoyed by all and was a success in
every respect.
In connection with the sock social
which was a unique method of enter
tainment as each person present was
presented with a tiny sock in which
he or she was to place twice the mum
ber Of pennies that they were years
old Everyone did this chcerlully ex-
cept a few unmarried ladies and wild
overs Light refreshments were
served in the parsonage diningrooms,
the tables Of which were artistically
decorated with lovely flowers Quite
good sum was realized from the
evenings entertainment.
