The League Endeavored.
Contributed J

Last winter non-dancing clul
was organized by some of the
young folks who did not care tc
attend the dances, and they prob.
ably had some literary treats al
their meetings, which however,
were not open to sinners uure'
pentent. To be more explicit
they had to quit dancing if they
became members of this club. We
haven't read any notice of what
they are doing this winter, but the
Epworth Leaguers had a rally i'll
December and determined thai
there should be social affairs which
they could attend ia lieu of the
dances. Somebody took them at
their word and appointed an eve-
ming for them to enjoy open house,
to have music, games, and social
amenities to their liking, and
rendered an Epworth luncheon as
a part of the "open house"
Before the time arrived, a dance
was announced for the same eve
ming, few of the Leaguers at
tended the social affair and the
rest-well it isn't recorded where
they went, for they failed to tele-
phone their regrets or excuses.
However there were ''loaves and
hshes'' left from the "spread",
and host and hostess doubtless
took new measure of the social
desires of the Leaguers.
