ITO everyone who takes an altruis-

it is bound to be a matter OF
profound regret that women have so
little sense Of humor. They miss such
a good joke in not being able to see

Celebrate St.
Valentines S Day

The Primary Association of Lay
ton Ward gave an enjoyable enter
tainment Friday evening at Layton
Church, in celebration of St. Valen-
tine Days.
A program, consisting of muse,
both instrumental and vocal, recita-
tions and d character farce, was
given, after which the time was
spent in the sale of various articles
on display in the booths.
The Valentine booth was conduct
ed by Mrs, Warren Bingham. This
booth was artistically decorated with
valentines made by the members of
the association. The portrait of
Abraham Lincoln was placed in the
center, surrounded by the national
coIors. The valentines were sold at
reasonable prices.
The candy and popcorn booth was
very attractive, needing little dec
Grafton. This booth was well patron
ized by the children, who appreciate
the fact that candy and popcorn
prepared at home cannot be eXcelled.
Miss Bertha Ellsworth assisted at
this booth.
The fish pond proved very fasci-
mating, both to old and young The
prizes consisted of trinkets, toys and
useful handmade articles. Mrs.
Harry Porter was in charge of this
booth.
In the adjoining room of the
church, lunch was served under the
direction of Mrs. Austin Evans.
This was sold very reasonably.
Mrs. l.. B. Scarlett is president of
the association and she is ably as
sisted by Mrs. HuIda Blair and Mrs.
Ammon Curtis. There are fifteen
teachers and an average attendance
of seventy-fve children.
The proceeds of the entertain
