A very useful as well as pleasant
'chain party was given Thursday by
Mrs. R. Berry, at her residence or
Quality Hill. The ladies met at two
O'Clock and spent the entire afternoon
/ in sewing for the benefit OF the French
war orphans. Several pretty and prac
/ teal garments we're made for these
1 fatherless children, which included
dresses, bonnets, aprons and under
wear.
Mrs. Berry proved herself a very
charming hostess. Delightful refresh
ments of nut loaf, fruit cake and tea
were served to the following: Mes
danes R. L. Albright, H. Cochran, NJ
S. Krebs and Mrs. H. S. Studley. The
regular sum was realized for the war
treasury.

Too much cannot be said to en-
tighten the general public concerning
the work being done in this city now
for the French orphans. These chill
dren so far away, surely need the at
tention and interest of the Bisbee wo-
men and at present interest seems to
be quite high. Different clubs and
societies are meeting afternoons AMI
evenings to sew for this benefit. Con-
siderable work for children and grown
ups too, has been finished.
The Parent-Teachers' association of
Central school held a meeting Tues
day evening. The principal speaker
on the program was Rev. Mr.. Brew
ster. who gave a very interesting ad-
dress on Moral Evils Connected With
the War" A committee reported that
the city council would strictly enforce
the Curfew law, and that all children
under the age of sixteen must be off
the streets at p. m. Several topics
of great interest were discussed,
among them, Lighting the Play
grounds in the Evening" and Shall
We Have a Woman police?" Re
freshments, consisting of pumpkin pie
and coffee were served. All parents
and everyone interested in these mat
tiers are invited TO attend on the third
Tuesday of every month, 1880. at Cen

Lovers of good music who have de-
plored the downward trend of the so
called popular song in the last few
years, will be pleased to learn that a
movement has begun that promises to
restore the really good old tunes to
their pristine popularity. Fifty-tive
songs that have stood the test of time
have been gathered into one volume,
consisting of patriotic songs, such
as America and the Star Spangl-
ed Banner; plantation melodies
such as Dixie and My Old Kentucky
Home; Observation-Disclosures hymns and
anthems, as Lead Kindly Light, Angel
of Peace and Silent Night; songs that
have crossed the ocean TO come to us,
among which Annie Laurie is one of
the best known; in fact. all the good
old songs that our grandparents loved
before us.
Over eighty persons, principally Of
ficers and state representatives of the
National Conference of Music super
visors, have had a voice in selecting
these songs. The Arizona representa-
tive o. this conference is Miss Sallie
j. Mccall of Bisbee, who is engaged
is making this movement known by
promoting community singing in the
public schools. One recently held at
the Lincoln school met with so much
success that it may be safely pre-
dictei that the movement will be very
popular when it becomes better known.
One method OF popularizing the COM
munity song is through the picture
show. The words of the song will be
thrown upon the screen, the orchestra
will play the tune. and the entire au-
dience joins in singing.
On the night of Monday, November
26, the movement will be formally
started here in Bisbee, when all the
leading picture houses will show to
their audiences the following four
songs: The Star Spangled Banner, u.
S. A Forever, America, and Tenting
on the Old Camp Ground
Mrs. Charles p Lloyd and Mrs. Al
bert Sheetz of Quality Hill entertained

eft of the permanent blind fund. The
guests consisted of Mrs. George
Bridge. Mrs. John Treu and Miss
Helen Treu. Mrs. c. S. Thompson.
