can have a real vivacious and whoIesouled
social occasionally is in the field with the
armor on and is sure to win.

gave a social ana dance at Washington hall
last Thursday night, which met with super
lative success. The first hour after s o'clock
was devoted to music and recitation.
The program was just long enough
to create genuine interest, and every
number was full of merit.
Mrs. Wood, formerly of Council Bluffs,
sang O very pretty solo which was followed
by q duet, mandolin and guitar, by Mrs.
Glenn and Miss Weaver. Then Mr.. Abbott
gave n flute solo, after which Mrs. Hoel re-
cited THE Early Settlers Story" The pro-
gram closed with a tenor solo by Mr.. Nc
Dowell.
The chairs were then cleared away and a
delightful program of dances was enjoyed by
not less than $50 people.
The young ladies of the guild served re-
f~reshments on the stage and their department
of the evenings entertainment proved to be
very attractive.
There u score or more of people present
