Following cioso in the wake of the
Phelps fancy dress ball and crowdIng
that event for the honors of the winter
social season, was the birthday party
given in the Elk's hall by Charles q.
jerks and Robert +. Lind. Both gentle
men claim March 6 as their natal day and
they concluded about the best way to OH
serve the same was by giving a colonial.
+ ks hall never looked more attractive.
The decorations were superb, especially
the floral. Each lady was presented with
a handsome bouquet as che entered the
hall. Capt. c. ii. jerks OF Grand Forks,
n. D., and wife assisted their son, Charles,
in receiving, while Mesdames Ford and
Rice did likewise for Mr.. Lind. Tho
! music was of the first order. To dismiss
| the costumes with the stereotyped state
| meut that they were elegant hardly does
justice to the occasion, but space does not
permit of faithful description of them.
As the name of the affair indicates, tho
dress was that of the good old colonial
times when the men wore knee breeches,
rufiied shirts, SILVER buckled shoes, n
powdered wig and a cooked nat, while the
ladies dressed according to the familiar
pictures of Washington's time. If the
truthful George had returned to life and
wandered into Ek's hall the other night
while the ball was at Its height he would
have been perfectly at home so far as the
dress of both sexes was concerned. He
might have been at loss for a pinch of the
traditional snuff, for strange to relate no
one seems to have provided himself with
the magic preparations. The father of
his country might also have arrived at the
conclusion that the men of the Cleveland
| era do not exercise as much as when he
was president, for the display of calves
| leaned n trlfle toward the broom stick or
der. All Jokes aside IL was a very pleas
ant event, unusually so for the Lenten
| period, and will long be remembered
among the manv pleasant functions of
| the season of 1915. Refreshments were
served in the banquet room adjoining tho
