From The World of Friday:
The Washington Birthday social at
the Y NJ c. A. last night was what
lore Of the committee today called a

gcription is borne out by the size and
Quality OF the CROWD that packed the
first floor of the building-particul
u the lobby-the attractive costumes
worn by many Of the prstty girls mot
to mention some Of the mem the ex-
cellent program and the fact that the
comittee cleared about fifty dollars by
the enterprise. The revenue was de-
rived from the sale Of sweetmeats,
and thsre was such an onslaught on
the refreshment tables by the hungry
horde that it wasn't long till every
thing was cleaned up and a requisi-
ton had to be made on the ice cream
man for a second supply. SO it was
financial as we'll as a grand social
success and all taking a part deserve
the highest credit, especially the com
mittees at the head Of it.
