More than 200 people were present
at this gala function and all pro-

ry b. Curtis, Fletcher Devin Charles
Myers and Dwight McNabb.

sweethearts, and the strange thing
about the party was that it was voted
that the men outclassed the women
in the perfection of makeup. The
feature number of the evening was
a tableau given by Henry C. Devin
and Judge T.. o. Levering.

on everything in the store except Phono-
graphs, Records and Patterns On many
items especially in the Ready-To-Wear De-
partment the reductions will be even greater.
Now we have held discount sales before
but they were usually at the end of a season
or when the normal demand for merchan-
disc was small. But this sale comes just at
the time you need it most-when every one
is interested in new Fall and Winter mer-
chandise and when our stocks are full and
complete. Then too, many items Of merchan-
disc have already been marked down from
former higher levels and the discount will be
figured from these new lower prices.
Stop and think what this means! 1t
brings the very opportunity for which you
have hoped but hardly expected to see
lower prices just when you are most interest
ed in new Fall and Winter goods.

Thirty underweight children from the Norwich schools are daily experiencing the benefits that are offered this year for the first time in Norwich by the day camp operated under the auspices of the United Workers in the building on Wash lngton street where Dr. John J. Donohue formerly conducted a sanatorium.
 Financial support for this initial move in the day camp work for school children during the summer vacation period is from the sale of the Christmas seals un- der the auspices of the Red Cross, and the attempt has been made primarily to bring the benefits of the camp 10 children who have a tuberculosis menace in their lives, through being what is called con tact cases" that is, children coming from families where there has been tubercu- losis.
 Not every child in the day camp, how ever, is there for that reason. but all are under weight for their age, some as many as 10 or 12 pounds, through in sufficient or ill-judged food. The camp has now been open since July IT and the first test weighing has shown gains in almost every case, although some are very slight. The prize exhibit in this line is little girl who has gained i've pounds in two and a half weeks
 The children come from all parts of the city and range in age from 8 to IA years and are about evenly divided in number as to the sexes. The camp is to remain open until the first of September and it is con fidently expected that convincing results of its value will be shown by that time.
 Mrs. Margaret Woolsey, one of the public health nurses, is in general charge wit hthe other health nurses assisting and great aid is also given by a number ofswomen who are voluntarily giving theiI services as instructors in oceupationa work or in helping in the entertainment of the children.

eupational work keeps the boys and girls busy. In the middle of the morning the children are given two cups of milk with crackers, and again in the middle of the afternoon the same quantity of milk and crackers, it being the aim to let each child have a quart of milk a day.
 At noon there is a warm meal, which consists of meat or fish, two vegetables, one always a green vegetable, and des- the nourishing element may be as strong as possible in them.
 After dinner there is rest hour in which all the children are obliged to lie on cots and keep quiet. The boys have cots placed out in the large yard behind the building, while the girls have theirs
 on the hack porch. It was hard for some
 of the active boys to see why they should
 rest at first when a perfectly good base
 ball game might be enjoyed, but they soon came to find that there was something
 good about the rest and fell into the
 habit with little trouble. One or two boys
 who started at the camp have developed truant habits and have had to be dis,
 charged. Quite generally the parents have very readily agreed to let their chil dren come to the camp and have been ap
 preciatiye of what was being done for tht health of their families. The healtf
 nurses become acquainted with the homt conditions and make suggestions ther, about the right kind of food to sbe giver the children.
 If any persons in the city or sur rounding country want to do a real ser vice through their gardens, they cal l make donations of fresh vegetables fo 1 the camp and will find that they will b gladly received. This would be a wa for families who were going out of tn l city for while to dispose of the pro duce from their gardens which the, would not need while they are away | Contributions of books or games vii also be gladly received and visitors vii | be welcome at the camp. Later in tn season it is planned to have a mothers tday when the mothers will be asked t come and see what the camp has done.
