Y. N. C. A. MEETING.
Men And Women Gathered at Broad,
 way Congregational Church.

The special Y. M. c. A. meeting in the Broadway Congregational church Sunday afternoon was one of great interest to the large number of men was The Lure of Latin America ' and Charles D. Hurrey of the Y. M. c. A. International committee was the speaker. He told in very interest fered for real service in the South American countries and emphasized the fact that We are ignorant of these opportunities.
 The explorer. the engineer. the bus mess man. all have most wonderful openings in this interesting part of our world, but a sad fact Is that some men who 20 there from our own Amer ica do not properly repesent us, for they too often go for what they can get. and give nothing in return; for instance. knew of an American who went there and de millions. and when he was asked to help in an en- terprise to improve conditions. he Hat the wrong impressions of our coun- try.
 One of the greatest problems of the South American countries is the probieni of purity; the fathers of many of the young men actually give their consent to their sons to live an i'm pure lives. The lottery is crying evil and the profits from the lottery oftfmes go to the support of the church.
 The opportunity for raising the standard of morals Is great. and the Young Mems Christian association with its beautiful ministry Is meeting these opportunities. and endeavorfkg to take advantage of them. and splen- did progress is being made. Hereto fore, we in America have been ignor- ant concerning the people of Latin America, and we have also been sell fish in our relation to them; shall we not in the coming days become inform ed about this wonderful country. and thereby move out of our seffshnese and in the spirit Of the Master look upon them as our brothers.
 The choir of Broadway church sang several vocal selections.

costume had just come off duty. and
was getting her lunch in as much of

very much that a number of people

She wore the khaki of the United
States Army, Russian leather low
heeled shoes, puttees of the material

a khaki regulation military jacket and
the regulation cap.
Against the background Of filmy chif-
fon. strings of pearls. picture hats and
oriental garb she made delightful

military costume has grown SO great
