IN MEDFORD'S SOCIAL REALM
s
The new year was stnrted oft
well by nt least n dozoh young Indies
who met nt the home of Miss Sue
dicer Wednesday night for the pur
pose of organizing it new club. These
yoiittg Indies were formerly members
of the St. Agues guild which was
disbanded several weeks ago, and the
new club was organized to take the
place of the guild and work along
the same Hues; although, as yet, no
definite plan of work has been laid
out. At Thanksgiving .several com
plete dinners were gotten up and
taken to ii"edy families by the y'ou.ig
Indies, nnd a Christmas tree .was
planned for, but on account of the
disbanding of the guild the idea was'
not carried out. The great
est of enthusiasm and ener
gy is displayed by all the mem-,
hois in the work, nnd the future of
the did) is an assured success, Tli?y
hope to extend their work along
broader lines and will surely piove a
valuable aid in all charitable work.
The organization is non-.sectaiian
and is not a'tfiliated with any other
organization, but in an entirely inde
pendent' iu(&iltifjon, am! the young
ladies will ltd assisted in all their
work by Mises McDormott,Foslor
Snedicer and Putnam. The iinmo
decided upon lor the cluli was
"Leudnhnnd.' The officers elect
ed were president, Miss McDer
inott; vice president, Frances Hentli;
secretary, Jessie Purdy; treasurer,
Mary Deuel; corresponding secre
tary, Elizabeth Putnnm. A com
mittee on by-laws mid constitution
was appointed-: Jean Anderson, Mil

Misses Frances Heath, Evelyn Carey,
Mary Deuel, Ruth Ilutchings, Ethel
llazelrigg, Jessie Purdy, Vera Olm

Brown, McDermott, Foster, Snedicer
and Putnam. Tim next meeting will
