Good Of All the People.

Brooklyn was one Of the most enjoy
able events Of the Halloween season.

took part were Miss Lulu Brown. Miss
c. Hall, Charles Hensen and James
Brown.
In keeping with the old Dutch Gus
tom OF celebrating Halloween the
pleasure committee introduced num-
Der OF unique plays and games. which
gave the members and invited guests
a very clear idea Of how the event is
observed in Dutch society. The social
was therefore instructive as well as
pleasing.
The Young Peoples Friendly society
was organized n year ago by Mrs
George Philips. with whom the idea

originated. The primary object OF the
society is TO cultivate friendly rela-
tons between the young people Of The
community, especially those belonging
to the various churches While the
movement originated with Mrs. Philips
and other members OF the Sloan Pres
bytcrian church. denopJinatioual lines

The monthly social gatherings OF the

building up friendly social union
among the young people of the com
munity in a manner never before un-

or yet by individuals. Mrs. Philips
deserves much credit for the unselhsh
spirit which she has infused into the
organization and the many sacrifices
which she has personally made for its
success. =,
Mr.. Charles Hensen is one OF the or

He is n stawfi Baptist as TO religious
