fact that the submerged chorus girl

had won a legitimate place IN the
center of that spotlight which picks
people out and makes them famous.

noon to give $25 to the kersey band.
At the same meeting. the members
undertook to provide lilies for the
church on Easter Sunday and the
flowers will be distributed afterwards
to the sick of the community. The
League will also hold a cooked food
sale at DR.. Spauidings drug store
in the near future.
There are plenty of active women $

the lead at present in the number
and variety of the activities plannei
The money which goes to the b.n@
is spent in good cause and the lilies
for the church Easter will also be
an acceptable sift. The sales always
prove profitable, and while they
cause plenty OF work for the mem
bers, are cheerfully undertaken.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs j. Shull, who was assisted
