Delightful Entertainment, With Danc-
 Ing and Music, Saturday Night.

Ing and Music, Saturday Night.
 On Saturday evening at Odd Fellows Hall, the Camp Fire Girls held the first of the series of seven Council Fire meet ings, which they have planned for the last Saturday evening of each month through May. .., The ceremonial began at 7:45 p. Ill. the girls making an attractive and pie turesque appearance ;n their Indian costumes.
 Six new members were initiated. To each of the girls who took the degree of Wood Gatherer, was presented a sym bolic silver ring, which the national or ganization gives to every girl who att tains this distinction. Dozens of beads in eight different symbolic colors repre- senting as many crafts, were given to the girls who had qualified in ivarious elective honors. .t...sr
 Miss Jessie Donalds told the Camp Fire of a delightful chance meeting during the summer with Camp Fire girl of distant locality, whom she re- cognized as one of the Sfsterhood by the ring of the organization ald by ,I C hand signal.
 After the ceremony, the girls enter tained themselves with jolly games of bean bags and dumb bells, and by danc- ing the Virginia Reel.

The dancing, as done by Miss Camp and MT. Leonard was of the most refined and graceful type and gave the greatest pleasure to the large audience assembled to see it. The enthusiasm was evinced by hearty applause at the end of every number and also while the dancing was in progress whenever an unusually charming figure was present. ed. The audience insisted upon a repetition at the end which the dancers graciously accorded it.

PEAsE GOT THE DEER
But Warden Hornbeck's. Emlssaries Couldn't Understand it. v

The deer, killed by the south bound morning express train, near the Maltb'e crossing, as related in The News, caused little comedy complication ih official circles, which, however readily adjust ed itself.
 The train stopped at Falls Village to notify Game Warden l. P Hornbeck of the casualty. MT. Hornbeck immedi- ately went to the scene. He walked from the ''PoiLt of Rocks" to the Camp Ground station, but was unable to find the dead deer on either side of the tracks, although it was reported to have been struck at the north end of the Malthie turnout. A more careful search revealed the carcass hidden in the brush, near that spot where an Italian had secreted it, The Italian explained that he had hidden it to pre- vent it from being stolen before MT. Hornbeck could secure it. The game warden came to Canaan and instructed the Italian to get the car cass and de- liver sit to him, which the man pro- ceeded to attempt to do. When the Italian, with a comrade drove to the spot they found that State Game Com missioner c. H, Pease-who also had been notified from another source-had gotten ahead of him and had already loaded the deer upon his wagon and was about to drive away with it. The Italians insisted upon taking the deer, by authority of the county game war dem, and Pease declined to give it up. by the higher authority of the game commissioner, and being already in possession, which is nine points of the law, the commissioner had the ad- vantage, and drove off with his prize, leaving the game warden's emissaries puzzling over the situation and obliged to report the failure of their expedi- tion, to the game warden. Mir Horn beck received their explanation with the laughing assurance that everything was all right, as it turned out. Horn beck afterwards got a good portion of the deer from the commissioner.

Everything, no matter how startling, has an adequate explanation, and, con- sequently, it is easy to explain the phenomenal success of To-Day" which ran for an entire season at the 18th Street, and will be seen in Great Harrington on Monday night, Nov. 9, at the Mahaiwe Theatre.
 The sensational success of this drama is not bit astonishing when it is taken into consideration that society folk, ed ucators, social and welfare workers, clergymen, and others, alert to the present day peril of keeping up appear ances, have endorsed-and endorsed most enthusiastically, this startling drama of modern life which brings a sensational lesson to the very threshold of the home.
