scheduled to be held this afternoon. Re-
ports showed the association to have d
membership of about 800, its financial
affairs being shown to be in excellent
condition.
The association, headquarters of which
are at 1853 N street southwest, held its
annual Easter fair yesterday at the home
of Mrs. H. H. Hazen, 100 S street north
west. More than 800 were present dur
