BROOKLYN LIFE. 26 UNDER the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary of the Church of the Holy Trinity, an organization devoted to missionary work in the church, a reading is to be given by Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart on Thursday evening, the at Historical Hall. Mrs. Stuart reads in a singularly sympathetic and naive manner and with an utter absence of the mannerisms so prevalent in her line of work.

In fact, you feel, when listening to her, as though you were a guest, in the drawing-room and she was reading you something which had appealed to her and she wished to share with you. She will be introduced by, Mr. St. Clair McKelway. There are to be no reserved seats and tickets, which can be secured from Hit XT 1 MC T1ia 1A ArAnr ARDS announcing the marriage oil Wednesday of last week of Miss Fredricka Caroline Noll, daughter of Mr.

Now that the new roadway between Summerville and Charleston is being completed auto-mobiling is coming into marked popularity at this resort, which is in a country that tempts one to go far afield in the pursuit of outdoor pleasures. Riding, driving and walking are, however, never likely to yield much to the motor car, since a much wider field is naturally open to them. Golf, of course, holds its own, as there is a fine eighteen-hole course, while tennis for those who want more violent exercise and croquet for those who prefer less are similarly well provided for in the endeavor to make the Inn and the life that centers about it a little world in itself.
