The church was prettily decorated with Red Cross banners and emblems. During the evenin gice cream was sold by many waitresses gowned in Red Cross dresses.
 The evenings programme was one of well deserved merit, including the leading local talent available in this city. The artists were heartily ap- plauded by the large and enthusiastic audience and each was forced to re- spond to many encores.
