The Junior Auxiliary of St. Johns Church, composed of little girls of the Sunday School, and under the direct icn of the Misses Barlow, and Mrs. Frank Ross. gave tea on Saturday afternoon which brought in $7.0O for the Belgian Relief Fund. During Lent the little folks had been making a small quilt for some Belgian orphan. Each child had embroidered her name end 6 picture on piece for the quilt, and these were sewed together. St. Johns Mission, Ketchikan, Alaska, was embroidered on the border. The quilt was exhibited at the tea, and was pro- pounced a very creditable piece of work by those who saw it. Charlotte Shock poured tea, and the guests were daintily served by the little members whose names apeared on the quilt.
 These were Alice Lee Clara Olson. Eleanor Woodruff. Jane Woodruff, Ha. gel Bong, June Brice. Lucille Smith, Marie Chesney, Opal DiamOn, Ruth Rounsefall. Viola Van Diest, and Will Ia Wykof
