tion was presented last evening by
Miss Rachel Pollock at the 2 sth an
niversary of the Bethany Mothers' as
sociation, celebrated in Bethany
chapel.
Sewing and knitting in the after
noon, preceded a supper and the even
ing's program included music, brief ad
dressee and the superintendent s re
port.
The association organised in 1890
■with Mrs. Baxter, superinten
dent; Miss Ida Stewart, Miss Sara
Stewart. Mrs. Foltz und Miss Mary
Haldem&n. assistants. Miss Rachel
Pollock was elected an assistant super
intendent in 1892, afterward taking
'Mrs. Baxter's place. The following
•members of the tlrst committee, one
of the most efficient one could ap
point, have served all these years:
Miss Pollock, Mrs. Folt*. Miss Ida

iry McCormick, Mrs. A. J. Herr. Mrs.
E. Z. Gross. Mrs D. W. Cox, Mrs.

Mr. Howell. Mr. Cunningham, Mr.
Benson and J. M. Warden. The Rev.
Dr. George S. Cambers, pastor of the
Pine Street Presbyterian Church, who
died in 1911 was a most earnest anil

At various time the Bethany Moth

fluffy, natural hair, growing on her own head. But certainly no hair can be "■ " ri<
charming or even attractive if it is not properly dressed and intelligently Impr/T i
