FROM CONVENTION (Continued from case 1.) sions. Every department of the home missionary work was also In evidence, there being thirty-three deaconesses in attendance. While the Richmond avenue church was given over to the convention, everyone of the twenty-two other M. E. churches in Buffalo were entertainers. A great feature of the convention was the children’s rally last Sunday, showing great interest taken by the children s department of the missionary work. One thousand children, including the orders of “Mothers Jewels,” and the “Home Guard,” marched with banners to the church where a program was carried out alone by the children. There is great credit to the North Indiana conference missionary society in the fact that they carry the banner this year for raising the great sum of money by the mite box plan. The North Indiana conference by this way in the past year, raised more than $1,200. This credit was also held by this conference last year for the first

time, taking the honor from the Detroit conference at the national convention held at Los Angeles, last year. The only recreation during the convention was the one taking the delegation in a body to Niagara Falls Saturday afternoon, and as many of the western deiegaes had never seen the Falls, this was a great treat. In the evening a reception was held at the home of Bishop Beery. Mrs. Niblick is president, both of convention at the Thank Offering meeting to be held at the hetae of Mrs. P. G.

This festival is also observed by the Protestant Episcopal church. All Saints’ Day is celebrated November 2nd. This festival of the Roman Catholic church is celebrated on behalf of the soults in purgatory, for whose release the prayers of the faithful are this day offered and masses I performed. It is said to have been | first introduced in the ninth century by Odilon, abbot of Cliny, but was not J generally observed until the end of the tenth century. Its observance was demed of such importance that. In the event of its falling on Sunday, It was ordered not to postpone it, as is the case of other celebrations, but to celebrate it on the previous Saturday, “that the souls of the departed might suffer no detriment from the want of the prayeiw of the church.” Q _ DEMOCRAT WANT 'ADS PAY BIG

THE SOCIAL NOTES (Continued from Page 2.) la Sellemeyer, gowned In black in witch's attire, complete even to the broomstick, met the guests and to her were given the little socks Issued with the invitations, into which each guest put a sum of money—a penny for each number of the size of the sock worn. This sum made a goodly aggregate for the building fund of the new church. In a contest for the molding of witches from chewing gum, Mrs. Eli Meyer won the prize—a jacko'lantern, and in a contest in which each vied with carrying the greatest number of beans across a knife-blade, Mrs. John Glancey was awarded the honors. Paul Relnking of South Bend gave two excellent readings, as did Miss Esther Sellemeyer Luncheon, consisting of crescents, sandwiches, fruit salad and coffee, was served. The dining room also bore signs of the festive decoration. The table was draped with streamers of black and yellow, and at each corner, cunning little jack-o'lanterns stood guard, with beaming welcome. The centerpiece was a cabbage, whose flower-like beauty had burst open into roselike effect for the occasion. All in all. the evening was one of the most unique planned by the society in some time. Invitations issued for the affair were unique Little blue socks, were tied to cards bearing, besides the time place, etc. the following verse: * This little sock we give to yon, is not for you to- wear, x Please multiply your size by.two, and place therein with care, In pennies or in cents, just twice the number'that you wear. We hope it is immense. So if you wear a number 10, you owe us twenty, see? Which dropped within our little sock will fill our hearts with glee. ’Tis all we ask. it isn’t much, and hardly any trouble; But if you only have one foot well surely charge you double. Now if you have a friend quite dear you’d like to bring with you. Or if you know some one who’d come, we’ll gladly give you two. So don’t forget the place and date; we’ll answer when you knock. And welcome you with open arms, BUT DON’T FORGET YOUR SOCK

Alva Nichols will long have occasion to remember his thirty-third birthday anniversary which was celebrated Thursday evening with a right royal surprise. He was detained at his work at the Peoples & Gerke shoe store Thursday evening until the host had assembled at the home, where he found them waiting to greet him —and a hearty greeting it was, indeed. There were a number of progressive games for amusement and a general jolly *good time resulted. Not least among the amusements —for the guests—was the time-honored custom of rolling the celebrant under the bed —which they said they accomplished after much struggle—but which Alva denies strenuously. A luncheon completed a very happy evening, thoroughly enjoyed by all. The decorations of the home were jack-olanterns and as the city lights were turned off about time for their departure, each guest took a jack-o’lantern to light the way ?ome. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Herman Tettman, Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Peoples, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gerke, Misses Lena and Agnes Mjller, Clara Bultemeier. Messrs. Claude Gay and Albert Scheumann. A happy event of Thursday evening was the gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Adams, when an oldfashioned chicken roast was served to a few of their friends. It was intended that they would journey to a quiet spot in the woods north of the city but owing to the inclemency of the weather it had to be called off, and was held at the Adams home. The dinner e consisted of all the delicacies in season and one of the best times enjoyed in some time was had. Those who enjoyed the feast were Mr. and Mrs. Wil! Lehne. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Adams, Misses Midge Smith, Marie Patterson and Fanny Hite and Will Schrock and Jesse Niblick. The force at the.Pecpies & Gerke store, with their families, will be entertained next Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Getting at St Johns.

COON SKIN CLUB Enjoys a Feast at Home of Wade Meyers—A Royal Spread. D. M. HENSLEY COOK Coon, ’Possum, Chicken, Rabbit Adorned Festal Board

The Coon Skin club, an organization of business men, of several years, enjoyed one of their famous suppers at the home of Wade Meyers south of the city Thursday evening. This ar fair was not one of those “dainty twocourse luncheons,” which have gained' renown in the society columns, but a good, heavy substantial dinner of game prepared in Chef D. M. Hensley’s best style and consisted of possum, coon, rabbit, chicken, Esh, coffee, etc. The Coon Skin club was organized several years ago the members being the business men of the city who after the confining cares of the day, would hie themselves away to the woodsy haunts of coons, rabbits etc., where they spent the evening in hunting, followed by a supper

of the’game they had bagged. Since I the removal of Judge Erwin and other of the prominent members from the city the club had rather lost interest and the meetings grew less frequent. It is the intention, however, of the remaining members to meet some time in the near future for reorgani- i zation and to purchase a pedigreed dog to assist in the sport. TRY. A DEMOCRAT WANT .'AD
