and canoeing were some of the
pastimes. Most everybody took
box lunches. The ladies of the

January, Mrs. Arms gave such a
delightful baked bean supper,

be if they could have about one
hundred and fifty present next
Friday.

Have you ever attended a
Demonstration Supper? Last
Thursday evening, at six o’clock,
the Ladies’ Aid of the Commun
ity Church held one of this kind
in their church rooms. It was
an innovation to me. But a most
pleasant one, I can assure you.
Everything was-served so daintily
in platter style. The menu: Ham
bologna, boiled ham, frankfurt
ers, bread, rolls, baked beans,
catsup, spaghetti, potato salad,
1ce cream, Oriental and plain
cake, cocoanut pudding, lemon
sauce, ginger ale and your choice
of coffee, tea, or cocoa. Just
think of all the above for the
modest sum of fifty cents! No
wonder the tables all had to be
reset to accommodate the people.
The members of the Ladies’ Aid
acted in the capacity of wait
resses'and an attractive bevy of
matrons they made, too.

The Journalists’ Club held an
other of their delightful social
evenings at the club rooms, 1410
Atlantic Avenue last Saturday.
Music, singing and dancing were
indulged in until a late hour..
The members were startled for
; a moment when a real live Turk .
: bounded into the room, dressed
I in full Turkish attire and gave an
| exhibition dance. But soon they
were disillusioned and found him
to be our own Vincent Speciale,
'who always seems endowed with
energy enough for two or three
people. —
The Seaside. Orchestra gave a
few selections, after which a
buffet luncheon was served. The
guests of the evening were Mrs.
Carl M. Voelker, Mrs. Taylor
(Ada Taylor’s mother) and Mr.
