Then with all these stories fresh in our minds we went back to work on some more garments, to help out more chil- dren, and at the end of the afternoon we closed the machines with a feel- ing of a day well spent, and I for one considered the day one of the most thrilling I had spent for a long time. Newark Man, Selling Chamelons, is Fined Newark. -- Alexander Alexandres probably turned "all colors" when he was arrested and fined $5 here for selling live chameleons on the streets, at the behest of the S. P. C. A. The Society charged that chameleons can- not withstand the rigors of this cli- mate. The court agreed. Everybody sewed and visited and when we stopped visiting for a few minutes we sewed to the music of Tscharkowsky's and Rachmaninoft's compositions and we continued to sew as some of Tolstoy's stories were read. can you imagine working on cotton flannel under more pleasant circum- stances? The tantalizing odor of coffee grew stronger and we "grew hungrier and hungrier." And then luncheon was announced. The many garments which we were working were gathered and we went to the dining room, purchas- ing for the small sum of 35¢ our lunch- eon ticket. And the chicken which T had seen being cut up at 9:30 served to us creamed, with beets, coffee, rolls, jelly and pineapple dessert, all for 35c¢! Every seat of the 150 was filled. Hear Story of a Dress You asked me if we went back to sewing after luncheon. Oh no-- there was something else in store for us. Very cleverly in prose and verse we heard the story of a dress, one of the many made by the society, that found its way to a little girl, badly WINNETKA FRUIT STORE Pouloplos Brothers, Props. 801 Elm St., Winnetka Phone 1371 FREE DELIVERY 4 TIMES DAILY Grape Fruit, 3 for 25¢c; 6 for Beans, per quart Spinach, per peck Potatoes, per peck Lettuce Celery, bunch Sweet Potatoes, 3 lbs. for Oranges, per doz. ..........

NEWCOMER IN GREAT DISCOVERY Woman's Society Meeting Holds Secret By MRS. NEWCOMER Have you ever been invited to attend an all-day meeting of the Women's society of the Congregational church? Then you have a surprise in store for you, if you go. I confess, when I thought of giving up a day in the height of Christmas preparations to at- tend a Women's society meeting, I accepted with reluctance, for my ex- perience with women's church socie- ties was that they were not worth- while in proportion to the time and energy expended. But a newcomer to this village makes many surprising discoveries and I made one when I went to Community House Wednesday. Such a hubbub greeted me as I stepped inside the door! Cries of "Where were you born, where were you born" filled my ears. Forthwith I was tickled with the name of my native state written on a slip of pap- er. Some thought the cry was "When were you born" and there was a secram- ble to get past the door, but no one could get through without being label- ed. Chicken on Menu I was then taken into another room, but on the way I could not help peep- ing through the open door of the kitch- en where several women were busy preparing luncheon, and I noticed that chicken was on the menu! I learned that the women in the kitchen, all members of the society, got there at nine o'clock and prepared luncheon for 150 people, and served it at 12:15 o'clock. And how much do you sup- pose we paid for luncheon? Wait a few minutes and I will tell you. The Sewing Circle The room to which I was led was filled with busy women, industriously sewing on different kinds of garments, for one of the big things the society does is to make hundreds of garments each year for various charitable or- ganizations. The "States" sat to- gether and I was introduced to my state as well as to the others. Each group thought her state was the only one, of course, and the Michiganders claimed much recognition because "we raised Henry Ford." HHH EEE 0 Vault for Storage.
