FRATERNAL SOCIETIES USING
 FoRESTERs' HALL AGAIN
Has Been Completely Refinished to Re-
 pair Damage by Fire.

Foresters' hall in the Chapman building has again been restored to use after the fire of over a month ago, which took place on the stage end of the hall where there are lockers for the use of the fraternal societies which sublet the hall from the Foresters' trustees. All the organizations which formerly used the hall have now re- turned to it for their regular meet ings.
 During the interval, while the hall was being refinished after the fire, the fraternal societies have been meet ing in T. A. B. hall, which was pro- vided for them by the Foresters. The damage by the fire called for a com plete refinishing of Foresters' hall, which now presents a very attractive appearance.
