Since the January meeting Of the
Hospital Aid nearly $50 membership
dues have been paid. thus making pos
sible the purchase Of some supplies,
but much more material is needed at
once, and it is hoped that many more
dues will be paid to the secretary be-
fore. or at the next meeting to be held
at 3 =. NJ. Saturday, Feb. 9, at the
home Of Mrs. Joseph Williamson, SO
Grove street. This year no receipts
will be given when dues are paid by
cheaue. but credit will be given for
each payment ut monthly meetings.
In order to meet the demand for the
annual amount OF supplies. not only
must very member be interested in an
early payment of dues. but large list
of new members is asked for, SO that
sewing may be furnished to those in
dividuals and societies who are now
ready to do it, but who may later be
busy with other work.

CATHOLIC COFFEE PARTY
THIRD AND FINAL NIGHT
A SUCCESSFUL WINDUP

And don't the kids have just the pes
time as these coffee parties?" They Ger
tanly seemed to at the third night OF 81.
Mary's annual reunion. which was tie
final held this week at the Augusta wv
hall Take a chance on this and take
a chance on that seemed to be the slogan
and everyone was following the plea pF
digging deep and taking a chance. Be
fore the arranged program and AFTER
the goods were on sale at the booths Al
the Liberty wheel the work was aided by
able ''spielers' who attracted the crowds
and then kept them there. The re1resh-
ment tables we're well filed during the
evening and bottom was reached IN the
plates on the candy table. The fish pond
proved as big a lodestone Thursday eve
ming as on previous evenings and the nsh-
ermen were many and the prizes pleasing,
The ball game affair of throwing the bati
in the box and the first one y appear 70
win the prize called many who would
try their luck.
The entertainment of the evening was
in the form of a miniature minstrel
show. Prominent in the jollitication OF
this event were Walter B. Fraser and
I'd
strel fame right there with their black
faces, red suits with yellow Innings ana
winning ways. After the Grand Min
strel Chorus" Clayton Q. Beane sang Il
Love You More and More Each Day"
Miss Edith Pooler, who has charming
soprano voice, rendered two solos which
were very pleasing. Allie Boocock sang
They Go Wild Over Me" and then in
answer as an encore sang real funny
song the chorus Of which ended Il put
more whitewash on the old woman then
l put on the garden wall" He recited Il
poem the title of which must have been
The Soldiers Valentine" and was just
another example Of his versatility.
Mr. Gilman sang Turn Back the Uni
verse and Give Me Yesterday" and that
was another enjoyable item of the eve
nng's entertainment. Mrs. Mary Albson
sang My Gypsy Wanda" with the assist
ance of the circle on the chorus. And
Mr.. Fraser sang It's a Long Way to
Berlin He's funny and with Mr. Gil
man made whole show in himself
The minstrel show closed with the sing
ing by the chorus and audience of The
Star Spangled Banner" Then was re
sumed the selling of the wares at the
booths.
( The success Of the coffee party like
any other function under society aus
pieces, is due TO the untiring work of the
various committees in charge and the co.
operation of the parishioners. This cof-
I fee party was certainly declared sue
cess hy all wto were able to Judge.

The plows and crews of men were
still bucking the drifts on the lines of
the Lewiston, Augusta & WatervilIe
Street Railway yesterday and LAST
night. and under favorable conditions
tonight ought TO find all of the sew
eral lines open. Yesterday the lines
in operation was that between Angus
Ia and Gardiner and that between Au-
gusta and Togus. A plow was run
through from Augusta to Watervile
and probably the cars will be running
between the two cities this morning.
Men and plows We're working toward
Lewiston last night and traffic between
that city and Augusta will probably
also be started this morning. This will
leave the Augusta and Winthrop line
the only one to be cleared and work
on that will be commenced with a pillow

the several lines should be in opera
ton.
