street, Tuesday evening. Games and
contests were on the program among
them an egg rolling competition and
other diversions which have special
reference to the Easter season. The
hours were decidedly full of enjoy
ment and, moreover, definite pur-
pose was accomplished as the young
people present laid aside their games
toward the close of the evening and
proceeded to form the "Sunday
School Cooking Club" each guest be-
coming a member. All connected
with the Bethany parish will doubt

plant of the Maine Spinning Com
pany. All embarked on the steamer
lvernia from Boston, Tuesday, and
are destined for the English county of
Yorkshire. In that section, Mr.. and
Mrs. Watson will visit Mr.. Watson's
former home in Bradford, and Miss
Barrows will go to see relatives in
Saltaire. Mr.. Watson came to
America % years ago. He has re-
turned but once and that was but a
few years after his first arrival.
Business, as we'll as the desire to see
relatives and the scenes of his youth,
lead him to make the journey at this
time. None of the party are expect
ed home before the month of June.
