She aroused SO much interest in the
meeting that the house was packed

after she has gone to rest. The meet
ing was made spicy by the able assist
ant, Madame Sadie e. Dimery, Presi-
dent of the Allen Christian Endeavor,
VINO gave a wonderful lecture entitled
Get Wisdom But in All Our Getting,
Get Understanding. She carried the
house by storm. They were royalty
entertained by the citizens of Neosho,
Mo. On Friday night, Madame Dimery
gave a dramatic recital which was one
of the best recitals eve given in Neo-
