The Most Rapid The Most Attentive The Most Courteous The Most Econimical SERVICE BY THE ELWOOD LIVERY COMPANY Viola Carriages and Single Buggies THE VAOOAR QIRLO At Auditorium Oot. 0 o This company is the outgrowth of an ideal. About ten years ago a gentleman of some means and liberal inclination conceived the idea of educating a double quar tette of girls for high class con cert work. With ample means and not impatient of time, he se lected from the wide circle of his acquaintance eight girls of super ior character and musical ability and furnished them means to complete their literary and mus ical education, guiding the latter in the direction of their contem plated work. For five years, this company of educated, cultured and refined young women has honored its name, the Eight Vassar Cirls. in a high class musical eent in the best advanced vaudeville in the leading cities of the United States and has demonstrated as have many of the great artists of the world, tb,at a good, clean musical event of superior quality, free from any suspicion of coarseness or cheapness wins appreciation and applause on its merits every where. So great has been their success that practically all of their time for five years has been consumed in return date work in twenty or thirty cities through which they made their first tour, such as New York. Philadelphia. .Buffalo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and San Francisco, where ever-increasing audiences have greeted them. After prolonged negotiations we have, by means of a guarantee of a fancy salary, induced them to give a part of their time to the Lyceum. Their concert will be the big event of the year on those courses fortunate enough to se cure a date. ciiunoiiES St. Mary's Episcopal.

COMMUNICATION Mr "Around-the-Town" Editor : I wi-h to thank you lor your ai liilcs. about our boys and young men about so much time wasted on the streets You have already done good 111 calling attention to this. .Some mornings ago 1 was talking to one of these boys and advised linn to go around to our schools, that perhaps they might do something lor him. "Well, I b'lceve 1 will," he said esierday I saw the boy again and asked him what about it. "Yes," he said. "1 went down there." "Well, what did they tell you down there?" 1 asked I do not remember the exact words of the boy, but it was something that amounted to about this: "Why. said a fellor who went about suckin' cigaretes never made any sunshine, an' that the feller who loafed all the time on the streets was in a poor row of stumps to grow brains, an' mor n that something was said about sweat drops bcin" the most beau tiful jewelry in the world, atr that he vvuz sorry for the folks who couldn't afford that sort of jewelry." 1 told the boy that was just what the people in High Point were most concerned about sun shine, brains, and this particular sort of jewelry. Then I asked him what he was going to do about it. "Oh, I done got my books and am going to start in in the morn ing. I am big, but I'm goin' to start in a low enough class where I can understand." Now, are there not other boys who should do likewise Keep up the good work in your "Around-the-Town" notes. Let us have clean streets morally as well as physically. Yours very truly, A Citizen.

Cox. the chairman, presiding. Mrs. Creelman, chairman of Tag Day Committee, reported that includ ing the subscriptions payable by January 1, 1912, $500.00 was giv en the department on that day. Resolutions of thanks were ex tended the chairman for her untir ing efforts; Miss Venetia Smjth for use of her store, and the newspapers for space. Special mention was made of the willing ness with which the factories, mills and public places allowed the boxes to be placed at their places of business and their kind ly co-epcration. The treasurer reported $271.0 on hand. Com mittee on care of the Home Vis itor reported that Miss McCarthy would arrive October 1. She will be guest of Mrs. Creelman the first week, and while there will be given an informal reception that she may immediately become in t'-ueh with the club workers. The committee is busy making plans for the settlement house to be used for headquarters for the work, and at which Miss McCar- . , thy will make her home. The house is to be furnished and its most likely some manufacturers and dealers will ask the privilege . of assisting in this work. Last vear the lights, phone and street car tickets were contributed and its probable this offer will he re newed. The ladiesj at the meet ing donated about fifty articles of linen. The committee on wellarc of women employees gave splendid reports from some of the factories and mills where they have sup plied rest rooms where the girls may go in case of illness, and a matron to whom they may go for council in emergency. One case was reported of an ill employee w ho w as allowed to stop work and go to the rest room, but no other woman was allowed to go with her A few months ago a brother of one of these girls in the mill was killed. There was no wom an to break it to the girl. She was told by the man in charge ( and also told she could go home. No woman was sent with her. She was not even sent in a car riage. Its so hard for a man to think of these things. Every fac tory employing girls needs a wo man in charge.
