the decoration Of Good Will Hall, as
being appropriate to the approaching
Christmas season. The colors chosen
were red and green. Branches of
brightly colored autumn leaves were
hung upon the wall, and the napkins for
the supper table we're decorated with
sprays of autumn leaves. The green
used was feathery branches of pine,
which was placed upon the wall and
ropes of pine fastened under the win
dows. Each table had three vase bou-
quets of pine branches and red barber
ries, with plates of red apples placed
between, and all the walters and attend
ants were dressed in white and wore
badge of pine tied with knot Of red
ribbon. The general effect of the whole
was very pretty and pleasing, and the
whole affair was great credit to all the
various committees in charge. The

earnest thanks to many outside the
society who kindly assisted in various
ways, and who also gave articles for the
sale and food for the supper.
