, SOCIAL SUCCESS.
Goddard Students Demonstrate Power of
That Mystic Number.

The halo Of potentiality and possibil'
ity which hedges around the mystic
number, a. yielded splendid revenue
for the gymnasium fund at Goddard
seminary last evening, when the girls OF
the school held their annual 7-cent fair
Anything that was in nowise related to
the number may be discarded. Ii may

another to sew button on it. If so,
| it was a part Of the bazaar. To begin
with, it was dated Dec. 7, and it is sus-
pected that something like II girls were
attached to one committee or another.
At any rate, the doors to chapel swung
open at 7:37, not to close until l2:37

that $3.50 would accrue to the fund with
which an annex to the gym. is being
erected Probably 1877 win be nearer
the actual figures.

and the first number on the program
consisted of dances, in which the terp-

dance was turned out by Miss Carrie Cal
cagni and q French gavotte was dem

Maude Graves. Miss Josephine Will gave
the highland fling, and Polish dance
was given by Miss Rachel Hollister. Miss
Doris Jenkins and Fred Cole were seen
in American movements, and negro
shake downs were handled by Miss Sadie
Bedell and Henry Tryon. The dancers
performed before relays of 80 people, and
before the program was well under way

most. 1t would mean that each
