Successful Box Social From the Meriden Ledger The box social given at the Dix school house Saturday evening was a success in spite of the gloomy and rainy, weather. The school room was artistically de corated with pink and white crepe paper and the pretty drawings OuR the black boards added much to beautifying the room. The program was well rendered, and the dialogues, the one "Employling a Servant," by the larger pupils, was fine each did his part well.

The one by the primary little tots "The Baby Show" was very laughable as they were very appropriate with their parts. This is Mrs. Gay's second term of teaching in the Dix district and during that time has so discharged her duties as to win the esteem of the entire community and the love and respect of every pupil that has come under her jurisdiction. After the program the boxes were: sold by the auctioneer, J. J.

Kane and Miss Cecil Chacey received the cake: which was voted to the most popular lady present. Total receipts were about $16.50..
