Auxiliary's Dinner to Former Service Men.

scene on Tuesday night, when the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion gave sumptuous banquet to exService men of the last war and the Spanish-American and Civil wars.
 The room and tables were beautiful ly decorated, the former with flags and bunting, the latter with roses and fruit. On a stand were portraits of Mark A. and Robert Moore and Ray Carlos, three of our boys who lost their lives in the late war. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Carlos, the mothers of these dead heroes, were among the honored guests of the evening.
 There were about 125 gusts present, taxing the resources of the gracious hostesses as far as seats were con cerned, but not enough to more than dent the array of good things got to- gether for the banquet, which was of real Thanksgiving flavor, with turk eys and all the other conconmittants of that kind of feast,
 Following the dinner, which began at 8 o'clock, came an attractive pro- gram of music and speech. MT. and Mrs. Roger A. Morse with instru- mental music, the Misses Hazel Gar ing and Selma Bush with solos, Mrs. L. A. Eastburn with hding, and Rev. Father C. Vabre, c. B. Wilson and Francis A. Chisholm, commander of Mark A. Moore post of the Amer ican Legion, with addresses, were all received with enthusiasm, each doing her or his part in making the event a pronounced success.
 The ex-service boys are unanimous in voicing their appreciation of the thoughtfulness and love shown by the ladies of the Auxiliary in thus honor ing them, and the memory of the af fair will live in the heart of each of the guests for many years.

 Social Service Meets.
 The membership of the Social Ser vice circle continues to grow, but not to the extent the ladies who are work ing for it, wish The meeting Tues day afternoon at the home of Mrs. M. J. Riordan was most interesting from the standpoint of local welfare.
 Miss Freda Johnson made a most enlightening talk on what social service really means and the methods that might be employed to obtain the best results. Much good has been done but more could be done if every wom- an in the town became member. Be- sides her interest and service, her dollar membership dues would help in meeting the pressing needs as win ter comes on.
 The reports ofJrelief rendered are most gratifying and make it easier to forge ahead, but like every good de where interest can be started it means a permanent worker, so come out and help the few who are holding the or ganization together. Don't wait to be invited to joint is your community service. Send your offering of old. serviceable clothes to the home of Mrs. T. E. Pollock, where they will be carefully gone over and distributed in the quarter of the greatest need.

Interspersed with various instrumental and vocal num- bers, the music characteristic of the operat was given by Mrs. Stevenson, Mrs. Lindblom, Mrs. Ewart, Mrs. w.. ]. Lewis, Mrs. Connor and Mrs. Roger Morse. Mrs. Ewart read number of criticisms concerning the opera when it first~made it's appearance in New York-some were favorable, others unfayorable but all present felt they had gained an insight into Cadman's style. who is true lover of the ln- dian melodies.
 Choral practice was indulged in af- ter the program. The department will give a Christmas contata at the Episcopal church sometime in De, cember. This will include the musical talent of the town and promises. to be very lovely rendition of the Christmas music.
 The club was gratified to present one hundred dollars to the building fund of the general club and antici- pate further interest of the much fonged- for club house.
