Delta Alpha Glass

Although the evening Of November 2nt
! was not pleasant out-of doors, a pleasant
indoor party was held by the Delta Al.
phas of the NJ. E. Sunday school, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Ward.
The jack-o-lanterns on the porch, the
ghosts" who received the guests, the
lighted candles, the decorating of the
rooms, the costumes of the helpers, and
the witch with her iron kettle, containing
fortune for each guest, were all re1Aind-
ers Of the Halloween season. The ladies
who put so much time and thought into
the evenings entertainment were the hos
tess, Mrs. Ward, and Mesdames Lawson,
Stafford Terrill,s Hines, Morse, tombstone,
Lamphere, Best and Newcity.
A short business meeting was conduct
ed by the president, Mrs. Morse.
Following the business meeting, Ruth
Lawson sang a solo, much enjoyed as
usual, and responded to by an encore. An
esps cial treat was a solo by Mrs. Ada
Terrill, who was also encored. Guessing
games and contests were provided for
every moment. The closing stunt was
search through the rooms for surnames
represented by pictures, which was very
much fun, especially after it was discovered
that the names were those of members Of
the class. Refreshments consisted of
chicken wiggle, pumpkin pie with whipped
cream, doughnuts and coffee.
Mr.. Ward, who with his car, carried to
and from many who could not otherwise
have been present, and Mrs. Ward with
her effici snt helpers, certainly gave the
class one of the most enjoyable evenings
ever spent together. There were thirty
present.

Misses Bulkely, Magner, Dawson, Blair
and Houston, Of the faculty, were in Bur

"Kubelik" concert at the U. V. NJ GYM
nasiun.
R. c Stafford has been obtained as
Basket Ball coach for the coming season.
At the Basket Ball practice last Wednes-
day night, Coach Stafford was present for
the first time. He put the boys through
a good stiff practice and they feel quite
encouraged now that they are to have sci
entific instruction. He is to be present al
least twice and perhaps three times week
and the school is sure that, with his in
struction, Peoples Academy will be able to
put on a winning team. There are fifteen
fs.oNa on tie first squad, thus furnishing
a good bit of materia. to choose from, and
each fellow is determined TO do his best
which in most cases is very good indeed.
At the mock election held last Tuesday
afternoon in the Academy Hall, the Re.
publican candidates carried all The tickets
by large majority, for example in the
county senator election, DR.. Slayton had
101 votes to Mr.. Strong's y. A good
deal of amusement and we hope ar equal
amount of instruction was derived from it,
and it certainly gives an idea of where the
students Of the Academy, and the faculty
as well, stand in politics.

y. A. II. Notes

The November meeting of the Captain
Jedediah Hyde Chapter, d. A. r., at the
home of Miss Louise Slocum, on Wednes.
day evening Nov. Bird, was one of the
most delightful events in the history of the
chapter An unusually large attendance
helped UNNECESSARILY toward making the
event an unqualified success,
Following the formal order of opening,
and the business session, the Regent, Mrs.
Abbie Stevens, called for the report Of the
State Conference in Montpelier, on Sept.
Goth, and Mrs. Maude E. Pike, chapter
delegate, gave an interesting account of
both the business and social sides of the
conference. This part of sthe program
was completed by Miss Jessie Southland,
who read the poem written and read by
Mrs. Lou Boyce Hayden, Regent of the
Marquis de Lafayette Chapter, as greet
ing to the Conference.
Next in order came the discussion of the
main topic for the evening-"Our New
Responsibility of Citizenship and how We
Can Best Meet 1t"
The leader, Miss Slocum spoke briefly,
laying particular emphasis upon the fact,
that while all women should regard their
newly acquired right of suffrage as sa-
cred responsibility, it is especially incum-
bent upon daughters of the American Rev
olution. as members of patriotic society,
to perform this cuty with utmost faithful
ness and consciousness, and to urge all
other women to do likewise. Miss Slocum's
remarks were followed by a general discus
sion of the subject in which Mrs. Dewey
and Miss Moody took active parts.
At the close of the formal program, the
guests were invited 10 the dining-room,
where thay found the table festive with
reminders Of Halloween. During the serv-
ing of chairg.dish supper, birthday
cake. with lighted candles, was brought in
and presented, with the best wishes Of the
Chapter. to Mrs. Gertrude Valleau, whose
birthday anniversary it was. Mrs. Valleau,
altho' taken entirely by surprise, was equal
, to the occasion, and made very pretty
speech, expressing her appreciation and
thanks for the remembrance. A merry
time ensued, while the cake was being
properly dealt with, and not until late
hour did the party disband.
Those from out of town to attend the
meeting were Mrs. Maude Pike, Mrs.
Sarah Dewey and Miss Jessie Southland Of
Stowe, and Mrs. Nora Wood Of Hyde Park,
On account of the Gentemen's Night,
of the Womans Club, the date for the
next meeting has had to be changed to
Monday evening, Nov, 29th, at the home
of Mrs. Lizzie Fisher.
