entertainments have always been a
Hoelal courtesy from Mr. Kruiubholz
but thlrt year, ho wuh prevailed upon
to give It as a Hod Cross benefit. The
rooms woro brilliantly lighted and beau

evvry uook and corner. The flag of

Rest Room Notes.
The fiscal year of the Host Room
expired Deo. 31, 1917. The committee
wishes to clone the hooka but in un
able to do so as several donars who
were to pay h.v the month have failed
'o complete their payments. The Hoy
Scouts pave up collecting in Septem
ber as Mr. Trotter said he was too
busy with Government work to at
tend to it. We feel sure tbat the mer
chants who promised to send checks
will do so if they rememlmr it, so
this is a reminder.
The ladies find it too taxing to col
'ect each montty, especially as some
'imes they collect almost nothing and
will therefore collect every three
months and hope this will be agree
able to the business men.
The Rest Room committee wishes
io acknowledge with many thanks the
Tift of lightwood from Mrs. D. L. Sow
<*11, R. F. D. No. 4, and Mrs. Hugh
McCallum of Lugoff and Mrs. White.
Mrs. McCallum also furnished wire
for windows to keep the children from
falling out. Generous checks from
Mrs. Fred Robinson and Mrs. Peake
were gratefully received.
