strenuous position. Although offered
the use or the parish house by the
rector and vestry of all Saints, it was
thought best to secure quarters down
in town for the large Friday morning
meetings. The problem was happily
solved when Mrs. Sampson offered the
knitters the use of the upper floor of
her building formerly occupied by
Carl Meyer’s jewelry store. This was
accepted with a vote of thanks to
Mrs. Sampson, and it was decided to
move at once into the new quarters
on the avenue. Mra Walling stated
that Mr. McCallum had offered to the
knitters the use of some knitting ma-
chines and that Mrs. Deats, who is an
expert, had offered to use the ma-
chines and instruct others in the use
of them. Some donations of suitable
furniture were offered and it was de-
cided to invite all friends to a house-
warming on next Wednesday.
A plan was inaugurated to give a
tea dansante on Saturday afternoon
after Thanksgiving. The list of pa-
tronesses and the place will be an-

the picture harmonious.
A delightful part of the affair on
Wednesday was the fact that Mrs

was present to enjoy the afternoon
and to be made much over by the
guests who are her loyal admirers.
