THE PROGRESSIVE DINNER.
A Great Rush of People Fed at the
Different Churches-Good Sum
Realized.

Realized.
The progressive dinner on Thurs
day evening proved success be-
yond the fondest dreams of the
committee who arranged it and not
only was it. a success from the finan-
cia1 standpoint. 1910 tickets beng
sold with practically no expenses,
but seldom has anything given here
brought together all ages and all
creeds, as did this affair. Instead
of waiting until six O'Clock to eat
supper, people began to arrive at
the First Baptist church soon after
five O'Clock and from then until long
after seven there was one mad
chase from church to church for the
different courses.
At the First Baptist church apples,
oranges and grapes wbetted the ap-
petites. At the Universalist church
clam choWder with crackers and
pickles tickled the palate. The prin-
cipal course, chicken pies celery,
mashed potato, rolls, and jelly
were served at tho North church
where the tables were adorned with
mountain ash. The ladies of the
Methodist church served fruit salad
and rolls in their vestry which was
beautifully decorated in autumn
leaves, the word s'Brightlook'' on
the wall being made of the bright
hued maple leaves, and the table
decorations being of the same. AT
the South church ice cream and cake
were served from table bright
ladies of St. Andrews served after
dinner coffee and the program for
the evening was given.
AT the Baptist, Universalist and
Methodist churches the pastors gave
all a cordial welcome; at the North
church DIR. and Mrs. Hill were assist
ed in receiving by Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank H. Brooks and Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert MackinnOn and at the South
church DR.. Grint received with DR..
Barnes. After a social hour a short
program consisting of a piano duet
by Mrs. Joseph Fairbanks and Miss
Alice B. Warden; violin solos by
Miss Helen Boynton and readings by
Miss Laura Ella Cragin of Boston
delighted the ear as the supper had
the elmer man." The readings by
Miss Cragin were particularly en-
joyable and the program was just
long enough and admirably suited
to the occasion.
The committee in charge, Mrs.
Abbie J. Balch, Mrs. M. G. Benedict
and Mrs. Henrietta Goodall issued
the following statement:
The progressive dinner given for
the benefit of the Free Bed at
Brightlook Hospital proved a great
success; $185 vast he result of the
sale of tickets. Through the kind
ness of friends the amount was
raised to $500. In behalf of the
Brightlook Hospital Aid association,
we wish to extend to the public, as
well as to the pastors and ladies' So
cieties of the various churches, our
most sincere thanks for their hearty
cooperation in this undertaking.
