A bbl. is to be packed with second hand clothing, to be sent to Mather school, Beaufort, S. C. This is a school for the negroes and is largely supported by the sale of the clothing sent in these bbls. All our women are cordially invited to come to the meeting.

The benefit entertainment at the school last Saturday evening was quite a success, both socially and financially. The first number of the program was a piano selection by Mr. John Chipman. Then came the pantomime "The Bachelor's Dream." Mr. Grady as the bachelor sang "Bartletts Dream," then dropped into a doze as past fancies came to him. Little Miss Elizabeth Mary Toppan with her doll came first as "The tiniest tot" then the Misses Wilma Toppan, the school girl, Marion Noyes, the country girl, Ruth Fall, the coquette, Ruth Brooks, the beauty, Eleanor Marston, the winter girl, Esther True, the suffragette, Esther Scott, the sailor girl, Louise Mullin, the gypsy, Gertrude Paulson, the Indian maid, Isabelle Thompson, the motor girl, Dorothy Hobbs, the nurse, Mable Page, the cook, Helen Gilpatrick, the widow, and Mrs. Ernest Cole, the mother. Miss Ruth Brooks sang two selections very delightfully with Mr. Chipman accompanying her. The very versatile Mr. John Cummings gave in costume a very funny and laughable monologue. "The Simpleton" and Mr. Carl Newton gave a most interesting exhibition of the magic art. Mr. Newton was an honor man from Dartmouth and a recipient of the Rhodes scholarship. While at Oxford he spent his vacations visiting the different countries of Europe and being interested in the occult learned many new tricks. Miss Brooks finished the program inviting the audience to join the chorus of her last song "Carry Me Back to Old Virginie."
