A girl's party was held at the Young Women’s Christian Association’s rooms on Thursday night. The object of the party was to explain to the girls the plans which the new girls’ department has arranged for them. The members of the girls’ department committee were the hostesses for the evening, and Miss M. Hercus, the chairwoman of the committee, welcomed them in a happy little speech. Miss Marjorie Black, girls’ department secretary, explained the Hearthfire system, which is to be the chief activity of this department. A group of Hearthfire girls gave a demonstration of a weekly council of a Hearthfire.
