The pages of 27 years show rich splendid achieve ments, but all is not written there. To realize its' full mission, we must read between the lines of these 'minutes.' - "And we find this organization has brot about a fine spirit of co operation among the women of our church. A spirit of true friendliness, and at the beginning of the 2Sth year, we realize this organization is just as needed as when it began. What would our churches do without our women! It would be like a home without a mother. The church has learned to lean upon its women's societies too much, we all agree. It seems as tho they were always say ing: I'd like to make you feel as rich As I, who travel on Undaunted in the darkest hours With you to lean upon.' I Hut we need our women's social societies in other ways besides for the ; money they make and needs they sup-j i ply. I -like to think of the chief need of the existence of such a society P. E. 0.

Dovey, Mrs. J. Leyda and Mrs. From Sa.turday:a Daivy Last evening was the annual event of the gathering of the V. E. O. so ciety and the B. I. L. L.'s, as the gentlemen of the society are known, and the handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. George O. Dovey on North 6th street was the place of meeting. These occasions are looked for ward to with the greatest of interest by both the ladies and gentlemen and the gathering last evening was in keeping with the former very en joyable occasions. The committee of ladies in charge had kept their plans very much of a secret and each detail of the evening as it was de veloped was a fresh delight to the members of the jolly party. The dinner was served at 6:30, the settings being most alluring to the eye, the tables handsome in sparkling silver, china, crystal and delicate napery. The floral decora tions of the tables were in yellow jonquils. The dinner was served in three courses. In response to the invitations sent out in clever verses by the P. E. O. ladies, a number of the gentlemen had responded in kind with real po etic lines and in which several de veloped into real bards. The guests of the evoniner had their first surprise when Mrs. II. F. Goos, chairman of the committee on entertainment, announced via mega phone that a detail of eight of the B. I. L. L.'s was to report without delay to the mess sergeant in the kitchen. These eight unfortunates found that they had cut out for them and removing the first. The work of the gentlemen provided a great deal of pleasure for the ladies, who were really surprised at the grace and ease with which the gentlemen performed and it is stated that should the occasion ever arise, any one of the B. I.' L. L.'s can qualify as china destroyers on tne i'uuman diners or in the large city hotels. The last eight men called were de lighted to, find that when they reach ed the kitchen all of the tasks were finished, as they had pictured a vi sion of many dishes to be cleaned up. The evening was spent informally with a most delightful program that was enjoyed by all of the party. The P. E. O. ladies gently roasted the B. I. L. L.'s in their musical offer ings and in this Mrs. II. F. Goos, Mrs. J. L. Tidball, Jr., Mrs. E. II. Wescott. Mrs. J. E. Wiles, Mrs. E. A. Wnrl were the chief vocalists while Mrs. Elbert Wiles presided at the piano. The verses were very clever ly arranped and Get to the music of some of the popular songs. Mrs. II. G. McClusky called on a number of the B. I. L. L.'s to defend themselves with a speech and in this took tho gentlemen completely by surprise, and, to add to the confusion of the blushing speakers, the toast mistress gave a very interesting -story on each of the gentlemen called upon. Dr. P. T. Heineman, Dr. II. W. Black and Searl S. Davis were among those "picked" upon. Mr E. II. Wescott presided at the piano for the gentlemen and, assist ed by the members of the male sec tion, sang what was evidently in tended as an ode to the I. E. O. ladies, being sung to the tuae of "I Wonder What's Become of Sally" at times. Minor, the basso prof undo, led out; Morgan, as good as any "wee Will," came next. lie earnest ly pleaded to sing an encore, but the unanimous vote refused to allow him this privilege. Then William Baird, the Lauder of the gathering, and II. G. McClusky. the Evan Wil liams, surpassed the skill of their ideals. It was fun, the ladies state, to see John Tidball sweat while he labored through his verse, Mr. Wes cott's one-fingered playing also help ing a lot. Courage, Mr. Tidball, light opera will call for you some day. Luke Wiles won the real honors of the evening and proved a real Ca ruso. While all were tuned in and keyed for any pleasure, the committee pro vided a very' interesting tabic game, so unique and appropriate to the oc casion. The lady's prize was v6n by Mrs. C. A. Rawis and the gentle man's prize by Mr. Searl S. Davis. It was a late hour when all de parted, all thinking that it was a "best ever' time, and the committee received enthusiastic praise from all.

Designed for low teat fuel, operates equally well on high test fuel. Cold motors start eas ily. The By-Pass is a mechanical and scien tific masterpiece.
