CHRISTMAS SHOP PROCEEDS
 REACHED AR0I-T St sn,

Net proceeds of the Christmas Shop conducted Friday at the Community house by the Women's Guild of the United Congregational church reached about 1,400, which went we'll over the goal of $1.O00 that had been set and more than meets the budget of the guild in :he church work.
 Counting to large degree in this success was the leadership of the general chairman, Mrs Edwin w. Fig- gins, and the president of the guild, Mrs Charles Tyler Bard, with whom 150 wc- men of the church cooperated with en- thusiasm that brought such substantial results.
 The privilege of display of articles from the Christmas Shop in the windows of the Plaut-Cadden Co. was an important advertising feature for the sale, and one of the pretty speciahies which added to the attractiveness of the sale were the holly and poinsetta boxes which were presented to the Guild by the Norwich Paper Box Co, for both the candy and food departments.
 In serving the excellent supper it was not the intention to make any profit on this but to provide a delicious supper for the benefit of the women workers, their husbands and their friends.
