GENERAL SOCIAL.

The ''Clothespin social held under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid society of the
Olivet M. f. church, in the parlors of Mrs.
Robert Holders residence NO 1155 West
Seventh street, on Tuesday evening, was a
pronounced success i'll every particular, as
usual; and no wonder for the ladies of the
society are such excellent entertainers that
people of all denominations attend their So
cials. The principal feature OF the evening,
from which the social derived its name, ere
ated no end of amusement, and deserves de-
Scriptlon. paper package was given to
each gentleman, which when opened dis
closed to view Il clothespin dressed up like q
doll, each i'll different colQred gingham. The
ladies had, previous to this, donned gingbam
aprons. Each gentleman was then directed
to report to the lady wearing the apron that
matched his dolls dress for further instruc-
TONS This done, he was told there was to
be sewing contest among the gentle
men (entrance fee five centsl, the one
doing the best sewing to receive prize and
the one doing the poorest to pay for the
apron-the hem of each apron having been
folded and basted for the purpose. Of course
all the gentlemen were ready and willing to
undertake such an easy task as that for the
ladies. Before the contest was over, how
ever, and they mad run the needle into their
fingers until they were as full of holes as q
sponge, the majority Of them came to the
conclusion that they would little rather ''go
through fire and water for a lady than hem
an apron by hand for her. The faces of the
men during the contest were a study for an
artist expressions of earnestnesS. fear and
pain alternating one another i'll rapid sue
cession as they progressed with their work,
and when the signal to stop sewing was given
the sigh of relief which escaped them Simul-
taneously nearly raised the roof. The work
was then submitted to the judges, who after
examining closely could not determine which
was the best between the work done by Mr..
Anderson, of Watson avenue and Mr.. Powell.
OF Armstrong avenue, and so gave each
prize. The other prize was bought by MIR.
Strong. After this refreshments were served
and the contest talked over.
