Miss Martha Frizzell Henderson re-
turned to her home town last even-
ing, after six months of exciting ex-
periences in Y. M. C. A. work over-‘
seas. She and her colleague. Mrs;
Waiter V. Kraemer. of New York'
City, were among the very few wo-
men on the great ship Agamemnon.
which arrived at Boston on Monday}
She was met at the dock by Mr. and:
Mrs. Mark Henderson and came home
with them yesterday and today is:
greeting her host of friends in thei
delightfully cheery way that musti
have been such’a potent factor in her
great success in “Y" work.

The Butterworth Rifles made goOd
again at their fourth and final dance
of the season at the Norwalk Armory.
last night, when fully a thousand
dancers yielded to the potent attrac-
tion of McEnelly's famous singing or‘
chestra and enjoyed themselves to
the utmost. _
The concert before the dancing be-
gun was even better than usual and
was fully appreciated by a goodly
crowd of older folk who came earlyto
enjoy this feature of the program A
comet solo was especially pleasing
and called for a. hearty encore.
The energetic and capable commit.
tee headed by C; F. Gusrnleri as
chairman are entitled to full credit
for the good management of this ser-
1
which was the assembling field for a
large part of the airplanes. They did
much good work with frequent en.-
tertalnments and had the distin-
guished experience of having General
Pershing as their guest at dinner. and
he came back for the dance. in the
evening.
Although of course not in an oili-
cial way, Miss Henderson had many
opportunities for flying trips, which
she enjoyed to the utmost.
One of the most enJoryed was that
to the camp where her brother, Dun—
can Frizzell. was stationed, and of
bringing him back with her to the
but, where he remained until she left
for home.
