The Haile club, on the fifteenth of January, made a second payment of half the balance due its creditors, thus completing within a year, a 75 per cent. payment to all creditors. The whoie | indebtedness left for the club to take | care of was approximately $1,275. and | in consideration of the fact that the membership has decreased more than half in that time, and that the club during the past vear has been entirely self supporting, it has meant much hard work for the girls who have ac- complished this result. Suppers, dances and a benefit whist at the MNorwich club given by the club, and a generous amount raised by popular subscription. has made. it_possible for this second payment to be made within so short a time, and it is hoped that the re- maining indebtedness may be wiped out within the next year. After the debt is paid in full, it is the plan of the club to take up some special form of .work. 2 sewing class Wednesday evenings and a monthly social event at which members pay a small fee.
