sacrifice, and of fulhlment One tiny

Abington's beloved preacher, the Rev
+. A. Fuller, breaches it from the pull
pit.
This flag, which should now bear its
o4th star has been made by the
Pomfret Neighborhood Association,
and is to be displayed in turn by the
different churches in the Community.
From Abingdon it goes to Holy Trim
ity at Pomfret, where in the custody
of the Rev. John j. Ely, it will bear
witness to the splendid loyalty and
patriotism of the sons of the church
in service. In turn it will be display
ed at Christ Church and at the First
Congregational church at Pomfret,
after which, if the weather proves
kinder than during the severe winter,
the flag will hang on the grounds of
the Pomfret Neighborhood Associa-
ton in the heart of the village, where
all may be reminded daily of the un-
stinted service which this Community
in company with every part of the
United States is eager to give for the

Miss Fox HOnoree

Miss Fox HOnoree
 At Luncheon.
 One of the most unique and most artistically conceived social func- tions of this winter was that of Mrs Campbell Fox yesterday afternoon as a courtesy for Miss Mary Fox, who on next Tuesday will be married to Mr. Edwin A. Howell.
 It was butterfly luncheon and the happy conceit was carried out in the house decorations and table appoint ments.
 The flowers used were delicate sweet peas in dainty butterfly vases and baskets, while from the ceiling in the dining room suspended on invisi- ble wires were hundreds of butter flies-filmv and feathery in every con- ceivable tin--the effect being one of magical beauty.
 The wedding party was seated at one large central table, the brides chair being distinguished by glitter ing silver butterfly. And around these were grouped the girl friends, guests of the afternoon. A delicious six course menue was faultlassly served. each course having it's specific butter fly feature.
 The guests were Miss Mary, Fox, Mrs. w. T. Lowe, Mrs. H. c. Fox, Mrs. F. A. Howell, Miss Frances Howell, Mrs. w. c. Alexander, Miss Margaret Fox, Mrs. J. N. McCammon, Misses Catherine Montgomery, Annie Laurie Williams, Virginia Crutcher, Frances Woodbridge, Frances Andrews, Kath- leen Collier, Ernestine Norris, Theola Simmons, Eunica Norris, Mrs. Wiley Barrow, Mrs. J. w. Bellamy and Mrs. E. Campbell Fox.
 Toward the close of the festivities attractive personality of the honoree: You're dear little Fox, in your smart
 tailored frocks, Made of broadcloth and serge and
 all that;
 And you look like rogue from the
 pages in Vogue"
 In your furs and your jaunty felt
 hat.
 You're sweet little Fox in your wis
 iting frocks,
 Made of satin and velvet and plush; You're as dainty and sweet as the
 nldlQS III ''Ei1Je
 On their way to an afternoon crush. You're a cute little Fox in your in-
 gerie frocks,
 Made of cambric and softest chif-
 .fon,
 With a yoke of Georgette or medal
 lions inset
 Like we see in the latest "Bon Ton" You're shy little Fox in your eve
 ming frocks,
 Made of ribbon and lace rich and
 rare.
 You resemble the girls in their rubies
 and pearls
 That charm us in "Vanity Fair" But we're sure, little Fox, that of all
 of your frocks.
 Whatever their style or their hue, Just week from tonight in your bri-
 dal robes white
 You should pose for the "Fashion
 Review" ~
