The ladies of the Sacramento W. G.
L. u. gave Bloomer Social at Pythlan
Castle last evening, which was sue
cess from start to finish 1t was some
thing new, and seeing that it was held
| in a good cause-to raise funds for the
construction of a sidewalk in front OF
the Children's Day Home, charitable
rganiZation-the large hall was taxed
| to its uttermost to hold the crowd that
gathered.
An excellent programme had been ar
ranged, a part of it being two tableaux
which were long and heartily applaud
| ed. Here was where the "bloomers"
came in, and as the curtains went up on
| the first number, ''W. c. L. U. Bloom
ers," and the audience beheld the stage
! banked with a glorious and generous
| deposit of California flowers, those not
| into the secret were, for the moment,
dumb. Only for the moment however,
| and then the applause came in one
grand round. The second tableau,
representing 'Bloomers To-day and
Long Ago." was simply a group of six
elderly w. c. T. u. ladies surrounded
| by eight little girls, all decked out in
| fioWers-genuine bloomers. The social
was given under the direction of Mes
danes Schadt, Barrett and Wood, as
| sisted by Mrs. Reeves, Mrs. Spalding
and Mrs. Friend. The refreshment
stands were supervised by Misses Mabel
| Lillis. Edith Cowble, May Lefiar Lin
ME Wise, Blanche Van Heusen, Mamie
Wahland, Elizabeth Morsehead and AL
| ice WashbuIn. The ladies desire tC re-
| turn thanks for the liberal patronage
| bestowed upon their endeavor to please,
| and believe that the object has been at
| tanned. The programme was as follows:
Recitation, Sumner Wood; instrumental
solo, Miss Jennie Elworthy; tableau,
wv. c. T. U. Bloomers" represented by

The first of a series of monthly enter
tainments and a reception was given by
| Sacramento Lodge, No. 2O3, I. o. G. T.
It was a success in every way. A pleas
ant and varied programme was present
ed, after which an old-fashioned candy
pulling was participated in and every
one thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The
