Of war.
Mrs. l.. H. Sclater and Mrs. Hef-
felfnger and possibly some others
have been faithful workers in this
spciety during all this time. They
have helped In the restoration OF the
church building and in keeping it IN
repair ever since. Like DOrcas OF OLD
the good ladies' Of st. Johns church
have been faithful In working for the
church In every way possible. Their
specialty may possibly be in the man
ufacsmre Of aprons. although they do
all things we'll. They make equally
well aprons that are strong and suit
able for hard work, and also dainty
ruffied aprons more for ornament
than use. After the concert Monday
night there will he an opportunity 10
buy some Of these aprons and also
other fancy articles. besides cakes
and candies.
