Persons who have had occasion to
visit the Y NJ. C. A. building during

fully impressed with the remarkable
changes that have been made through
out the interior, and in order that the
people OF Bennington may have an
opportunity to obtain a more compre-
hensive knowledge of the improve.
ment the association has planned an
open house" for the hours between
s and 10 next Tuesday evening.
This gathering has been planned
for two reasons, one. in order that
the public may inspect the building
and may also meet in social way
the secretary. Henry w. Winslow.
and Mrs WInslow. The association
staff Will also be present and the wo-
mans auxiliary viii be represented
by its president, Mrs. f. f Howe.
1t is hoped that there will be q gen
erous response by Bennington people
and that the attendance next Tuesday
evening Will be one CT the largest, II
not the largest recorded since the
building was constructed. While all
OF the improvements planned by the
new secretary and the Woman's Aux.
iliary have not been carried out, a
visit to the building Just now is an
actual pleasure w thin a few days

renovated from garret to basement.
! The woodwork has been repainted,
the walls have been retinted In some
OF the rooms and the equipment has
been oyerhauled and repaired. but
the most striking results have been
attained in a general scheme to make
the ~" comfortable and cheerful.
There is a general air of order and
neatness but hCme.like atmosphere
predominates everywhere. Artist

rugs on the floors. and comfortable
chairs in comfortable attitudes create
combination that is strikingly at.

month of September 90 men and boys,
without a particle of solicitation, ap-
piled for membership is the right
kind of evidence that the new order
of things is producing real results.
With the present trend, and with
an increased public interest, to create
which the gathering next Tuesday
evening has been arranged, there is
every reason to believe that the Ben

closely approach a complete fulfill.
