 A Big Celebration
 The dedication of the Memorial Bridge on Armistice Day. Wednesday, November 11th. will be the biggest celebration ever undertaken or ever seen in Putnam. For weeks gen eral committee. subdivided into special committees, has been at work formu- lating the plans. These plans are now we'll rounded into shape However. the last minute details have yet to be worked out, but from present appear ances it would seem that the eelebra- tion as planned will be carried out m order and regularity and in sati.i ac- tory manner, both as to those taking part in the parade, the visitors from without, and the people of Putnam within.

selled. "I'll get him gong. Isn't

"They grow in hedges" said
Sarling, turning away.
1t was very late when the party
prepared to go to the Mitre Club.
Lady Pinter had made u. her mind
that Humphrey should go in her
taxi. Humphrey said quite frank
ly that he would take Tina in his
car-he had instructed the chauf-
feur to wait on the rank in the
square.
"Quite right" said Charlton.
"Lady Pinter, | shall feel hurt if
you refuse to adopt me as an es-
cort."
. They bundled off to their several
rooms to array themselves in the
fantastic dresses which had been
sent around from Brissele: the
customers. Humphrey waited alone
in the drawing room. Tina, dressed
as a Spanish dancing girl, was the
first to rejoin him but they hadn't
an opportunity to exchange word
before the others crowded in. As
though he were already her ac-
cepted sutton, he gave his arm to
her and moved toward the door.
"You know the club?" Charlton
inquired.
t'Quite WE'LL" said Humphrey.
"Good! If you should get there
first, wait for us in the vestibule."

said. "But wait, mes amis, until
the gay lad Lad shifted the breeze.
Then promise you some sport"
How carefully he assisted her
into the limousine. He didn't
even glance back at the group
awaiting the small fleet of taxis.
He had eyes for none save the
titian-haired girl who had been
given into his protection. Before
the car moved away he had sorted
out the warm wraps which he had
brought up from Wingrove. He
offered to place them about her,
but she insisted that they were not
needed. The club was less than
a quarter of a mile from Lady
Pinter's fiat.

She attached no Importance to

Present Forms
Will Perish
Thinks DIR. Quinby

The present forms of organized re-
ligi0n are destined to perish within
the next SO years 10 the opinion of
DIR. Langdon Quinby of this city,
founder and regent of the League of
the Holy Cross. He declares that the
present parish life, organized on de-
nominational lines, is no longer in
touch with the spirit or the ideals of
the gospel, and no longer meets a vi
tai response in the minds of thought
full people. These conclusions have
been reached after thirty-five years
of active pastorate work and con-
tinued study Of UNCONVENTIONAL life
in our State and nation.
He is to begin next Sunday SER
les of special services on the broad
theme of religion in the modern
world, and will discuss the reasons
which have led him to these sweeping
conclusions. These services will be
held in the Knights of Pythias hall at
four o'clock in the afternoon and will
be under the auspices Of the League
Of the Holy Cross.
This organization seeks to bring TO-
gether people of all faiths both with
in and without the churches, for the
solution of the common problems of
our community and national life. DIR.
Quinby declares that the spirit of
union, as well as the need for ii, is
coming to be the controlling factor in
our present age; and that such a
union can never come on the basis of
creed or liturgy or church polity, but
only through the union of all good
people in the service of all good
causes.
This organization welcomes every
body to its membership in an appeal
for united Service, and believes that
religion should be organized on COM
munity lines rather than into de-
nominationaf parishes.
When asked how this was to be
brought about, DIR. Quinby declared
that the next step in organized re-
ligion would be the founding of q
civic Cathedral where Protestant.
Catholic and Jew might unite in COM
mon worship. There would also be
| the establishment of a Civic Univer-
sity and Civic hall of labor where
people would learn to study together
and plan to work together for the
great ideals now held in common.
He said that such plans might all
be gathered around a great civic
cathedral which would be a place not
merely for common worship, but
would serve as a center for educa-
tional life and as the meeting place
| to unite all good causes. Around such
building would be related our pres
emit parishes, our educational build
ings and our fraternai. social and
remedial organizations, all uniting
under the great ideals Of a gospel OF
service.
These services are to be In the ma
| ture of gospel talks, but with the ap-
proach of an inquiring student In
stead of one who is sure that his own
| opinions are right and merely wants
to have someone defend them Tor
| him. They welcome everybody who
desires to get at real religion and
wishes to join in a program that is
big enough to command the best in
every one.

Conflicting reports have brought con-
