than twice a year. Mr. Allan said 
that the moral standards of the 
southern republics were very low, 
sanitation in some of the cities was 
neglected and the poor were unedu- 
cated. He said great progress was 
being made in education and with that 
would come progress in other lines. 
Speaking of the social customs of 
Chile, he said there was nothing he 
had met in his travels around the 
world which equaled the sociability 
of the Chilean dinner. The meal 
often lasts four or five hours and is 
a great social event. Practically 
everyone in the country drinks native 
wine instead of water, as the water 
is often unfit to be drunk. In spite 
of this fact, Mr. Allen said he had 
never seen a drunken Chilean of the 
better class. “Only the peons and 
our people, who go down there, get 
drunk,” he said. Liquor had been the 
ruin of many a promising young man 
who had gone to South America, he 
said and he denounced whiskey in a 
manner that would have been a 
credit to Billy Sunday. 
Mr. Allan described quite graphic- 
ally the first earthquake he experi- 
enced in Iquique, but added that he 
became accustomed to them in time 
as he had gone through hundreds of 
them during his five years there. 
In reply to a question from one of 
the audience, Mr. Allan said oppor- 
tunities for young men with a knowl- 
edge of Spanish were unlimited in 
Equador, Peru and Chile, which are 
brought nearer to the United States 
by the opening of the Panama canal. 
Asked about the bill-paying habits of 
the South Americans, Mr. Allan said 
they were unquestionably honest in 
their business dealings, although per- 
haps taking longer to meet their 
obligations. 
Sandwiches and cocoa were served 
after Mr. Allan’s talk. It was voted 
to authorize the president, Rev. A. G. 
Warner, to make a reservation for 
the members at a future Billy Sunday 
Tabernacle meeting.

Miss VIRGINIA WEILLS READS 
“QUALITY STREET’ To MAN- 
CHESTER WOMEN. 
The Congl. chapel in Manchester 
was filled to its capacity on Tuesday 
afternoon for the meeting of the 
Manchester Woman’s club. Miss 
Virginia Weills gave a dramatic read- 
ing of J. M. Barrie’s “Quality Street.” 
The play in which Maude Adams 
starred so brilliantly was splendidly 
given by Miss Weills, her intrepreta- 
tion of the characters of “Miss 
Phoebe” and ‘Miss Susan” drawing 
ready applause. Miss Weills pos- 
sesses an excellent stage manner and 
has a personality well fitted to that of 
the leading character of the play. 
Previous to the reading by Miss 
Weills, Mrs. Daniel E. O’Brien gave 
a pleasing piano solo, “To Spring.” 
Announcement was made of the sale 
of Red Cross ‘Christmas stamps

which the club is conducting this sea- 
son as formerly. 
Attention of the members was call- 
ed to Christmas celebration of the 
Arbella club to be held the Saturday 
before the holiday and their codper- 
ation asked by Mrs. F. G. Cheever. 
Following the entertaining reading by 
Miss Weills the customary social 
period was held. Mrs. Allen S. Pea- 
body was hostess for the day.
