A3RY" VICTORY FESTIVAL

In the hotel room formerly used - 2
saloon. the ladies' Of Summit Bridge
held last week jubilation meeting ip
commemoration of their big DRY"
victory.
The room was beautifully trimmed,
the walls hung with flowers and fes.
toons Of the National Colors, the dec
orations altogether making it truly a
glorifed barroom Song and social
greetings contributed to make the time
a very enjoyable one.
The ladies also made the occasion
serve the patriotic purpose Of getting
funds for the Red Cross by holding
pie social whereby they raised the
handsome sum Of $50. 1ndee1, had
these fine cooks not been so modest and
provided far larger quantity of "good
things" they probably would have
cleared SIS If not 500, for their delic-
ious comestibles, pies ct cetera, were
quickly snapped up by eager buyers
who knew a good thing when they
smelt it. The attendance was large,
the grounds being filled with autos from
the country around.
What blessed change this scene of
refined, smiling ladies and gentlemen
met to spend an evening in decorous
interchange of friendly amenities music
and song, contrasted with the sights
and sounds and smells that once abound
ed there The air blue with choking
tobacco smoke and redolept Of the
fumes of whiskey and beer; coarse
jests and ribald profanity Astounding as
tipsy men-sometimes buns among
them-clinked their glasses at the bar,
all the while pouring forth streams of
the cheap chatter or half-drunken bah
Element so characteristic of those Gam
brinus gatherings! To have seen both.
was like passing with Dante from the
Inferno to Heaven
How fitting. too, that where so often
>'the children's meat had been thrown
to the liquor dogs" in the guise of be-
sotting booze guzzled down male threats
to the robbery of Home, Wife and Lit
tie Ones, that there the life-saving
blessings of Red Cross ministrations
should have been mace possible, be-
cause the money of husbands and sons
instead OF being worse than wasted on
the Rum Devil, as now going to the
support of this humane and lofty phi
lanthropy!
The Transcript wishes to congratulate
the ladies' of Summit Bridge on their
fine offering.
