NEW LIGHTING AT CHUBBUCK’S. One of the Justly celebrated “F-P” gas machines has Just been Installed In Chubbuck’s pharmacy on Main street, and the brilliant lighting of the “big drug store” this week has dieted many favorable comments from customers and passersby.

He says that “we are proud of our handsome store and prouder still of our complete stock and the super-quality of our goods, and we can’t get ‘too much light Ofi the subject.” The system B y Special C o r r e s p o n d e n t . ; i r t s lik e th e s e a r e all t h e i r c a r e s i l d r e n s a t i s f y th e child.

W hitney and W alter S. Moon. The scene of the ‘‘play-grown’’ was at the, home of Miss W hitney, 188 Maple' avenue. At an early hour the \little ones,” costumed to represent children trom infancy to early childhood, a r rived. Immediately their prattling filled the atmosphere with childish m irth. Scattered over the floor In the rooms were toys of various descrip tion, which aided considerably in giv ing delight and pleasure to the little tots. “ E very age has Its pleasures, its style of wit, and Its own ways.”— “ Nicholas Boileau Deapreaux, Art of Poetry.” After the fopdnees for the toys became a thing of the past, a new style of original, progressive, baby games Were enjoyed, furnished gladness and made tiny hearts happy and hands clap. Awards of an appro priate nature was presented the winners. Music, singing and danc ing also lent charm to the occasion. Miss Hazel Witch of Far Rockaway pleased with soprano solos. The large reception hall and par lors were artistically decorated in French pink and blue colors, har monizing with the host and hostesses’ costumes and the little invitations which were issued. The dining room was viewed with wide open eyes and mouths by the hungry and tired play mates. In the dining room the same colhr scheme was carried out, a large bouquet of salmon pink carnations gracing the center of the table and from the chandelier on various lengths of ribbon wore hung kewpies. Each guest was presented with a favor-^-girlies, school bags, boys, pop guns. All too soon the darkness of night enveloped the guests and the sandman came to usher them home.

SMITH’S STORE HAS UNDER GONE WONDERFUL CHANGE. (By Staff Correspondent.) Strolling down Main street last week I happened to stop In the store an^attaek of lumbago of Charles D. Smith, 68 South Main The much heralded silent vote played no small part in the election of village olficers in Freeport Tues day. The People's ticket, headed by Ernest S. Randall, was swept Into office by an overwhelming vote. A greater expression of confidence in men who have labored unceasingly lor the welfare of the village could hardly have been tendered. The re sult, so far as figures go, is tabulated in another column of this issue. The total east, i,a iu , we under stand, is a record one. No one can gain say that the taxpayers did not take an active, personal interest in the adm inistration of their village af fairs. The campaigns carried on during the past three weeks were active and enthusiastic, but clean and gentle manly. A spirit of fairness predom inated. It is indeed sigflnicant that every proposition proposed to the taxpay ers was carried by a decided vote. It is not only a mark or\ respect to the past administration of retiring Presi dent Roland M. Lamb, but an expres sion of confidence in the one which is about to start. The two propositions pertaining to* the fire departm ent. Just and necessary ones, were given a signifi cant vote. If there is one thing Free- porters believe in more than any thing else, It is their firemen. W h at ever will increase the eiticiency they ask for and get. Mr. Johnson and his associates. Mr. Fred. S. Howell and Frank M. Smith, made a hard fight and no one can gainsay that they were not g’ood losers. The people of Freeport have placed their trust in Mr. Randall. He has their best wishes and hearty support. G.O.P. CLUB BENEFIT HARMONY CLUB NETS SUBSTAN TIAL SUM AT VAUDEVILLE.
