were at it again over the last week
end. They 'nivered" from Seaside
Park to Barnegat Inlet along the
beach. The trip was strenuous and
exciting but was without serious mis-

beauties may be taken now by those
who have the patience and enthus-
iasm to go after them. The warm
weather of the past week should

Poverty Social and
Dance at Legion
Hall Popular Affair

The poverty social and dance I'M
der the auspices of the American
Legion Auxiliary held in Legion hall
Monday evening drew a big crowd to
enjoy the general good time. Some
were indiscreet enough to appear
with white collars and ties or in
satin dresses. these paid toll with
an assessment for each and every
breach of the prescribed attire,
which was old clothes with plenty
of patches. Indeed the more tattered
and torn ones garments We're, the
more completely did they enjoy the
spirit of this poverty party.
A long order Of dances was en-
joyed by Nermette's orchestra fur
niShing the music. There were old
fashioned square numbers inter-
spersed among the fox trots, so that
everyone in the hall seemed to have
just the best time possible. After
intermission the judges picked the
lady and gentleman prize winners
for wearing the most ridiculous cos
tune. Miss Hazel Kayton was
awarded the silver loving cup, and
Peter Bush was rewarded for his
poverty with the gentlemen's prize.
Mrs. Harry Barney was in charge
of the affair of last evening and
Mrs. Barney announced that this was
but the first of series of events Of
just as enjoyable a nature that the
auxiliary will sponsor in the near
future.

The annual May school meeting Of
the city was continued until Monday
June 4, to allow auditors time to
audit the city books and the books
of the board of education to deter
mine the exact amount of overdraft
of the school department
The report as given by Supt. Bur-
rlll shows an Overdraft of $564.13 on
bills that have passed through his
office, while the report of the city
than the first named figure. Mr..
Burrill explained last night at the
meeting that this overdraft of $685.
SO is composed Of bills which were
taken into account by the school de-
partment last wear but which were
not paid blythe city, this amounting
to about 1851. and that the rest is
due to bills which have not passed
through his office but have been paid
directly by the city.
After the reading OF the report
Auditor John S. Everett, stated that
the report of the board of educa-
ton did not state the actual finan-
cial condition of the school depart
ment, claiming that the March pay
roll and roll of accounts had not
been included and that il this had
been done there would have been an
overdraft of $4,000. Superintendent
Burrill pointed out that the school
year ends March 81 and that those
bills contracted in March and COM
ing due in April are regularly in
cluded in the April roll of accounts
and payroll, so that it has been the
custom to include the actual bills
contracted up to March first in the
years report. Thus the report is
seen to include full year, the bills

that the greatest relationship Of all is

would be theaone that were present
at this supper and that tho, who
perhaps needed to have these things
brought to their attention would be
the ones that We're not present.
To the boys he said that this is
their golden opportunity that they
have their mothers with them and
that they may do many things to
show their love, for these mothers.
He invited the boys to do all they
could to repay the labor and self
denial Of these mothc"s, and told the
boys to give their mothers q good hug
as soon as they got ome anG their
mothers had removed their hats.
Then speaking to the mothers he

also remember that times do not
change as much as people themselves

life, away back where thev have al
most been forgotten.
There were about $50 mothers and
sons present at this banquet which

Sisters Figure in
Double Wedding at
st. Augustine Church

Two sisters, Adele and Madeline
Laflamme of Northern avenue fg-
ured in a double wedding ceremony
at the st. Augustine Cathollc
church at o'clock Monday morn
ing. Miss Adele Laflamme became
the bride of Edward Arbour and
Miss Madeline Lafiamme became the
wife of Edward Lambert. The
brides are the daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. John A. Laf1amme OF Northern
avenue.
A number of friends attended the
wedding. and several relatives from
neighboring places. Among those
present was j. Clovis Laf1amme OF
Lewiston, a cousin of the brides.
Rev. Alphonse Laf1amme of Bid
deford. an uncle of the bride. per-
formed the ceremony. There were
no bridesmaids. but the ushers were
Herman Laflamme. Joseph Arbour,
and Thomas Lambert.
The wedding trip will include Wis
its to relatives in Springfield and
Lowell, Mass. Many friends followed
the two couples to the railway sta
ton and covered them with con-
fetti. Miss Madeline Laflamme wore
a blue suit with a gray hat and
gray choker. while Miss Adele La
famine wore a tan suit with hat to
match. Both Of the bridegrooms are
employed in the cotton mill of the
Edwards Mfg. Co. and are very pop
ular. Miss Madeline Laflamme has
for some time been employed in a
shirt factory on State street, while
Miss Adele Laflamme has worked at
the Eaton Shoe Factory on Gage
street.
Following the ceremony at the
church, a reception was held at the
home of the brides at "a Northern
avenue. where a bounteous wedding
breakfast was served. Upon their
return from the wedding journey.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Lambert will
reside on Northern avenue. while
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Arbour will
live on Washington avenue. Both
couples were the recipients Of many
wedding gifts.
A coincidence in connection with
the ceremony of Monday morning
was that the last double wedding Of
sisters to be celebrated at st. Au-
gustine church was of two sisters
of the same family name as those
Of Monday. This ceremony was held
IA years ago and though the sisters
figuring in that wedding were La
flammes, they were not related to
the brides of yesterday.
