year from the Old-time programme. Il con-
sisted OF number Of our prominent Native
Sons being invited to participate In the

When the FrancO-Amercan Lodge, No
207, l. o. o. F., give a party it is always
something peculiarly finished down to the
smallest detail. Their invitation ball last
night at Odd Fellows Hall was no exeep-
tion to this well-recognized rule.
From the programmes, decorated with the
representation of a lucky four-leaVed clover
in relief, to the elaborate cold collation.,
all was admirably considered. Neat deco.
ratons transformed the ball and foyer,
while Brandts orchestra officiated on the
stage. During supper, which was enjoyed
by 500 guests, selections were rendered from
Robin Hood" and ''Mikado," dancing bslng
