The local chapter of the order is quite young, having been organized only two years, and this is the most pretentious affair it has attempted. Members had been diligently at work for nearly six months preparing for the event, and all goods sold at the bazaar were made or donated by the members themselves; no solicitations from out- side sources were made.

Jaedecke, din- ner committee; Mrs. Florence Caden- head, cards committee ; Mrs. George T Mullen, decorations committee; Mrs. Albert Martin, evening refreshments committee ; Mrs. Carleton Prouty, sew- ing committee; Mrs. Lloyd Hollister, publicity committee, and Mrs. William Modes, cashier for the bazaar.

Neubacher, Mrs. William Groene, Mrs. William Morse, Mrs. Roy Whipple, Mrs. Griggs, Mrs. Carlstrand, Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Carlstein, and Frank Anderson, who presided over the men's booth.

She is well known for her ability as a read- er, and an interpreter of dramatic pieces. There will be practical training in extemporaneous speaking, story telling and interpretive reading. There will also be some work in the correct use of the voice and tone-placing. The course will touch somewhat the same lines as do many of the elementary courses in college, which have become so popular in this day of public work. This is the real opportunity for the young people of the village in this sort of work, it is pointed out. There will be a small fee in addition to the Com- munity House membership fee. The classes will be limited to 25 members. There will also be offered a similar class for women on Thursday morn- ings or Thursday afternoons.
