The annual poverty ball of Barre
council, No. 40l, of the Knights of Co
lumbus held last evening in the X. of
c. hall furnished great deal of fun
for more than rs people from o'clock
until IL. And why shouldn't it, There
was A. II. Burke, arrayed as the smil-
ing Cleopatra; J. j. Hastings, the in
imitable comedian of the Kacey club,
as Boob McNutt"; John Papin as
Joshua Stebbins, the rube," and Il. J.
Owens as 'Ireland's son of 40" There
were many other men arrayed in old
clothing quite unfamiliar to the young
er generation Then, too, wives of
these men, many of them, were clothed
in corresponding feminine costumes,
making humorous spectacle TO see
them perform in both the ancient and |
modern dances. Many young people |
were there also to take part in the
merriment and jollity, and saw to il |
that dancing did not cease until the |
midnight hour. Collins four-piece or
chestra found time to rest only when |
of sandwiches. coffee and
doughnuts were served by the ladies of |
the auxiliary committee. One can read
lily understand, therefore. why the rec |
cording secretary recorded the affair in |
red ink and then inserted the names |
of the four men mentioned with stars |
beside each name.

organization and the methods used in
making the work more successful.
dessrs Drew and johnson divulged u
ew of the problems which confronted
he Barre board when endeavoring to
ecure the establishment of the Peer
ess factory here, and also assured the
