Plan for News Years Frolic.

At the regular meeting of the Y.
w. II. A. held last night in the Y. M.
II. A. building, the predominating
discussion concerned the formal New
Years Eve frolic which is to be held
in the Y. NJ II. A. auditorium. Last
year the Y. w. II. A. held at least
two very successful dances, both of
which were elaborate in decoration
and arrangements and very well at
tended. Miss Dora Fine is chairman
of this New Years Eve event and her
committee has decided to transform
the hall into a winter snow scene for
that night. The music has already
been secured and the committee
claim that it is the best ever heard
in the vicinity. Tickets seem to be
in great demand.

a very worthy work yesterday at the
sale of articles made by the blind
people who are cared for by the

plish by diligently weaving on a
scarf which was only a sample of
many beautiful ones already made
by her. Anthony Peterson, of Cor
don street, this city, another unfor-
tunate handicapped in life because
of blindness, ~cleverly wove a basket
in the presence of the committee
and patrons. From the sale of the
many lovely articles on display
S32.13 was realized and this will be
given to those who so am~bitiously
made the articles.
The department is busy at work
on the club recipe book, a new work
for the department as we'll as some
thing entirely new for the club. AT

MANY HAVE SUPPER
AT SIMPSON EVENT

People numbering over 225 were
served with the delicious chicken
patty supper the opening feature of
the Ladies' Auxiliary Christmas Ba-
Ear last night in the Simpson NJ. e.
lecture room. The menu was quite
delicious in itself but the red and
white decorations and the small
Christmas tree at each table dde
to it's attractiveness in no little way.
Autumn leaves, holly, Christmas
pines and chrysanthemums adorned
the sides of the rooms while the
booths were conspicuous in their
elaborate Christmas trimmings. AT
the fancywork booth. which was the
largest and which occupied the inn
mediate center of the room, a pretty
little Christmas tree standing amid
the many pretty fancy articles sug-
gested the gift idea. The booth was
entwined with red and white and the
many colored but dainty gifts Were
most attractive. Aprons were in
great demand among the patrons
and many useful and fancy kinds
were displayed beneath the red n
white streamer decorations while
candy disappeared in an amazing
fashion from the booth where holly
ribbon was predominant. The par
eel post booth, which occupied n
corner, was particularly suggestive
of Christmas and Santa Claus with
its fireplace and chimney. The
booths were well ~patronized from
early until late in the evening.
The fair will continue tonight at
which time the particular feature
will be the entertaining program ar
ranged by Mrs. Irving Yarnall and
Mrs. Howard Brown. This includes
a piano duet by Miss Gladys Peck
and Miss Ruth Ware, a vocal solo
by Mrs. S. p. Roskowski. a reading
by Mrs. Charles Seguine. and a vocal
duet by Mrs. Angus MacLachlan and
Miss Alma Parsons. 1t is expected
that everything will be sold out to-
night.
The kitchen committee whose
names have heretofore not been an
nounced deserve special mention for
the efficient n in which they
assisted Mrs. Iver Larsen with the
upper last night. They are Mrs.
Arthur Hope, Mrs. Alfred Anderson,
Mrs. Jacob Roth, Mrs. Benjamin
Bailey, Mrs. Hessel Applegate, Mrs.
Hawkins, Mrs. Mary Thomas and
Mrs. Sofield. The tickets were under
the direction of Mrs. Edward Walker
and Mrs. Harry Germs. The names
of the other committees have been
announced previously.

TO SELL ARTICLES FOR
DISABLED VETERANS

Preliminary arrangements for the
sale Of articles made by disabled
soldiers, which the American Legion
| Auxiliary will hold in Icons store

streets on Friday and Saturday OF

meeting of the auxiliary in the lib
rary last night. The entire auxiliary
will act as a committee of n and
each member will give some of her
time to take charge of the booth
during the two days. 1t is hoped that
the people of the city and vicinity
will not forget that the boys who
made the articles for the sale are
young men who are in the Marine
and Fox Hills Hospital on Staten
Island and the Dug Out in New York
because they served their country in
the time of dires1 need during the
world
They are men who are physically
unable to support themselves but
through the medium of the hands
and eyes are able to earn a little by
making articles for these sales. All
the money realized from the sale is
returned to the boys who made the
articles. The auxiliary under the
leadership OF Miss Edith Crowell. is
out to make this the most success
full sale of the season.

JOIN SESSION
IN TAXF|CHT

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. T.
The Joint committee to appear be-
fore the Middlesex county board Of
taxation in the freeholders' room.
County Record building on Friday
morning at 10 o'clock, will include
about sixty per cent of the people
representing about $4,000, 900 OF
the assessed valuation of Middlesex
county.
This delegation will include repre-
s~entstives from the agricultural. in
dustcial and commercial interests
and at this meeting they expect to
lay data before the county board to
combat the assertions made by I'm
ion county that Middlesex valuations
are entirely too low. The feeling
exists around this locality since this
committee started to function that
the charges made by Union county
are colorec to a great extent and the
hearing may bring out that Middle
sex county compares very favorably
with Union county.
This committee is represented by
Russell L. Watson. and he will lay
matters before the county board.
Indications are that this meeting
will be the beginning of a great big
fight in which the interests of the
county will be protected by the
leaders in the various industries.
One thing in particular will be
discussed at this meeting, the valua-
ton of waterfront property. Union
county takes exception to the valua-
ton placed on waterfront property
in Middlesex county. The joint COM
will point out to the county
board members that the $2750 per
valuation made on the Lehigh
Valley property vas made by the
board of taxation. The COM
contends that adjacent prop
erty to the railroad should not be
worth more than the figures fixed by
the state board for the railroad
property.
