Mrs. Cecil Carter of West 18th
street entertained on Washingten's
birthday. Plates were spread for
eight.
The entertainment given by the
Fuel and Light committee at the A.
NJ. E. church Feb. 21st was grand
affair. This committee is composed
of men and women who were dressed
in George and Martha Washington
style. The program was unique in
every particular. The Yankee Doo-
die Kitchen brought the house to
laughter and awakened all that was
jovial in the human nature. This
committee deserves credit for the
way they do things.
The officials meeting which was
held the 18th inst, awakened quite
an interest. The next meeting will
he at st. Paul A. M. &. church Mo
line, when the same subjects will b,
discussed more fully. Mr.. and Mrs
G. H. Merchant, who have beer
rcoming and boarding with Mr.. ant
Mrs. e. Green, have gone to house
keeping at Ripely and Tenth streets
where they will be pleased to NEE
their many frinds.
