One hundred and ten members were present and Alexander Hannah was ad- mitted as a new member, having quali- fied with twenty years' residence in the village. The meeting consisted of dinner, during which there was community singing, a business meeting, in which new officers were elected, and some original entertainment. Mrs. E. D. Parmelee was elected president for the coming year, Henry Taylor, vice-president, Leon B. Allen, ry-treasurer, Mrs. Grant Ridge- way, chairman of the dinner committee, and Miss Helen Sears, historian. A one-act play, in the form of a "take-off" on commencement exercises in the Kenilworth public school twenty years ago, afforded a great deal of merriment. Louis D. Jones as Miss Martha Foote, a former teacher, and Ogden Cooke, as a pupil, were ex- tremely entertaining. During the course of the play, Mrs. Warren Pease, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, and H. O. Ed- monds, acting the parts of "visitors" to the school, sang several selections in quartet arrangement. Mrs. Loomis Hypes sang a group of typical songs with Mrs. Reed Landis accompanying her at the piano. Both were dressed as little school girls. Sam Clarke also en- tertained, with accordian music, and Kimball Root gave a group of negro songs and spirituals, accompanied by the guitar. Among some of the pupils in the school were Mrs. Ward Stafrett, T.oomis Hypes, and Herbert Taylor.

All Children Smile for Bernie BERNIE'S 1623 ORRINGTON AVE. TEL. UNIVERSITY 8998 | On Christmas Morning OMEBODY sees it through the window "= a spirited discussion arises as to who is coming, and why they choose the breakfast hour as the time to call--cries of "What a lovely new car!" from some of the feminine members of the family--a great rushing to the door to answer the ring of the stranger who has driven up. No one thinks of looking to Dad for the solution to the mystery. He is not in the crowd gathered at the door. Not he! Old fox that he is, he has stayed behind --chuck- ling to himself. He knows what the gleaming new car is do- ing there in front of the home. He knows why its driver is at the door. But this will not be private knowledge much longer. Any minute, happy laughter and much talk- ing at once will tell him that his secret is out, and that his family knows he has given them--a La Salle for Christmas.
