needed color scheme to the table

the business reported was as follows;
A Thanksgiving barrel of good,
warm clothing, and a separate bar

and sent to the old Goodland, Okla

for the First Monday Dinner" on
Nov. I'd. about $4,000; the novelty
bazaar for Dec. 18th discussed. The
resignation of Mrs. H. P Mizell, as
president of the society was most
regretfully accepted. Mrs. Jones,
yice-president, could not serve in
this capacity either, and Mrs Ed
Cunningham was unanimously elect
ed to fill the chair of president.
Prior TO the business meeting i'm
pressive devotional services were
conducted by the vice president,
Mrs. Phil Jones.
Last, but not least, was a pleasant
social session, and the serving of
most enjoyable refreshments of
Waldorf salad, olives and bread-and-
butter sandwiches by the hostess.
The next meeting of the society
will be held with Mesdames S e.

SeaouiIs Of Auchmithie.

In the fishing village of Auchmithie
you may frequently witness seagulls
flying into the houses Of the fisher

the breeding season. when It left.
About . fortnight ago. while the gull
was away, the fisherman removed his
home some three and a half miles

whether or not the Objectionable
