the sale during the afternoon and even
ing, proved to be great success IN every
way, The sale was AN attraction fol
shoppers all afternoon, as the booths
were crowded from the time the sal'
started until the supper hours and
throughout the evening, the ladies, who
acted as saleswomen had a regular Sat
urday night mob 10 contend with. The
handkerchief and hand bag booths prob
ably were OF the most interest to the
women who were shopping during the
afternoon. but after the young people
commenced to assemble in the evening
hour, the committee at the ice cream
booth did large business until the
dance was over.
The committee on the various booths
were as follows; At the handkerchief

were continually brought into the dia-
logues of the good -natured bits OF sar-
casm and personal hits that created a
roar of laughter all through the play.
Between the first and second acts,
piano duet was played by the Misses
Rachel Cutler and Beatrice Papln.

HAD ANNIVERSARY IN BARRE.
Chelsea Ten Pin Club Motored Where
They Had Driven Horses as Years Ago.

Over the same route which the original
members OF the organization Travelled
when the club was formed a quarter-een-
tury ago, the members of the Ten Pin
club of Chelsea motored TO Barre yester-
day in celebration Of their 25th anniyer-
sary. They spent the day in shopping
and looking over the city, noting Incl
dentally some of the marked changes
that have taken place since the initial
visit of the club Business men OF Chel-
sea, some of whom vented their gentle
sarcasm on the members Of the club when
its ten charter members returned home
one day in 1891 by designating them
as the tin pin club. saw to 1t that ample
motor transportation was provided, and
before their departure for home they
were given a trip through the quarry
region. Around p were in the party
that took dinner at Hotel Barre.
The purchase of ten silver pins by
each woman who made up the party %
wears ago gave rise to the nickname,
tin-pn club Later, as time worked
gradual but sure transformation on the
club, it became the Ten Pin club, and
under that banner the women have
achieved much in the way of civic i'm
provement. Chelsea folks will tell you
that the Ten Pin club, object of tender
derision in its cradle days, is responsible
for the really beautiful decorations in
the new town building, that the women
of the club are to be credited with pro-
viding the village with up-to-date ce-
ment walks, and that they are the au-
thors of many little deeds of kindness
that were never advertised The women
folks and their men attendants had
good time in Barre yesterday, enjoyed
themselves thoroughly, and vowed they
would celebrate the next anniversary IN
much the same way, unless they were
allowed to differentiate in the mode OF
travel by using flying machines. Several
of the women who came to town yester-
dav were of the original ten who drove
to Barre in 1891.
The party of yesterday included, among
others, the following: Mr.. and Mrs,
Stanley C. Wilson, Mrs. f. L. Beckwith,
Miss Vera Beckwith, Mrs. Rose Bixby,
Mrs. Annie Perkins, Mrs. l.. j. Tracy,
Mrs. Florence Burgess, O. d. Tracy, Mrs.

occasion OF better acquaintance tour
