Norwich bulletin., 1914-10-17

wich. except the weather clerk, was in one way or another on Fri day evening to assist the committee of Norwich women in the whift that was held at the armory for the benefit of the American Red Cross fund for the relief of the sufferers by sthe war in Europe. A pouring rain, the first in weeks, came down all through the evening, yet there were IA tables of whist, auction, bridge and plain whist, playing in the big drill shed from 8 to 10 o'clock, and the sale of tickets and the financial receipts in other ways encourages the committee to expect that the proceeds of the evening will reach the satisfactory sum Of $500.
 The armory had been made particu- larly attractive for the evening in a decorative scheme of lavender, this color covering the walls and ceiling, with masses of autumn foliage ar ranged at both ends of the hall, while draperies of pale green lowered cloth simulated the effect of windows along white field were shown on the wall on either side of the orchestra stand.
