the returns from last Saturdays
bake sale, which Melted about
fifteen dollars.
The program for the afternoon
was in charge Of Mrs. Wheeler,
who gave splendid review OF the

lin by Phillips Russell. AS one
VINO, by his own admission, found
it easier to do good than to be
good, Franklin's character will al
ways inspire differences of opinion
but there is no dispute-in Mr..
Russell's book. at least-that he
was ''the first civilized American.
Mrs. O'Larey spoke of the tech
niQue Of modern writer's, compar-
ing the fiction of. today with that
Of the Victorian era. expressing a
belief that real literature would
eventually emerge from the rev.
olutiony experiments of the last
few years.
Mrs. Meeks discussed American
literature in general, and selected
Kathleen Norris and Dorothy Can
field Fisher as two women writer's
who, in her oplnlpn, were entitled
to hold high place in the hearts
Of. their readers. Mrs. Meeks' de-
scripton of how Mrs. Fisher is de-
monstratlng her own declared
ethics of life in the home she has
chosen il theh Of Vermont, was
especially interesting.
Mrs. R. B. McMurry gave a very
timely and appreciated little talk
on the care OF cur gardens at this
time Of year.

GIRL RESERVE NOTES
By Dorothy Morford.

As a rule ghosts do not walk OF
nights other than Halloween, but
this was the case Saturday night,
Nov. 5th. At this time all the
sprites and COLLINS for miles around
came out of their hiding places and
gathered at the old haunted house
in back Of Angle home. If one had
listened one would have heard long
low groans, windows rafting and,
in fact everything to frighten
poor humans out of their wits. We
should now lower the curtain for
a moment while. our ghosts assemble.
As they enter the room they must
shake hands with genial host, who
with a punkin head grins fooIshly
at them. They pass on to the next
room, where an orange and black
spider web decorates the ceiling.
Among the ghosts were several
famous characters Aunt Jernima,
a Scotch lassie, farmer lad, and an
old witch. They danced around gay1y,
playing games until reasonable
hour, refreshments being at their
call Throughout the entire evening
Then at the bewitching hour Of
eleven, the ghosts all disappeared
and became Girl Reservesl
Those present at the Halloween
party were Sadie, Alice, Elizabeth
and Rena Belle Angle, Erma and
Nadine Ferguson, Virginia Kincaid,
Nellie Hammer, Garnet Coleman
Flora Montgomery, Alice Soden,
Flesrttr Allen, Dorothy Morford,
and the Advisor, Mrs. Kincaid.
The Girl Reserves plan to have a
booth in the Ladies Aid bazaar

home of Virginia Kincaid, Saturday
afternoon, November nineteenth at two
