Dear Mrs. Smith: At our last meet
ing, I "was appointed to write a letter
to your paper. As I did not do it at
once, I forgot it for some time but
hope it will not be too late for this
month. , ,
Our Auxiliary is growing steadily in
numbers as well as usefulness, and we
nil feel that we are doing a great deal
this winter to help our Union in its
fight for better conditions for the
working man. There can be no doubt
as to a woman's 'ability to help or hin
der in such a case, and we are so
pleased to see that the women are be
ginning to' realize - that' -fact, and to
enroll themselves on the right side.
We have had several entertainments
this winter, at which we always suc
ceed in interesting some one who
should be a member of the Auxiliary,
and who usually comes in soon after
ward. "
We gave a card party a short time
ago the result, financially, being very
satisfactory. This month we, gave the
second of a series of "coffees," which
are held at the homes of our members,
two or more going 'together and f ur-
nishtng refreshments, and the offering
being voluntary. The amount this time
was $3.50: By way of amusement each
was requested to bring a picture of
herself taken between the ages of one
and ten years. The pictures were
numbered and fastened on the wall,
each lady was provided with a list of
duplicate numbers, and the one guess
ing the most of them was given a
prize. I was the fortunate winner and
carried. away a very pretty cake plate.

of that number, but feel sure such will
be the case, ." "e are very hopeful that
our present "Secretary-Treasurer will
be re-elected, as she has certainly done
the work in a satisfactory manner, and
shown herself worthy of the trust re
posed in her.
