made the best use possible. In the cor

A lively and most ENJOYABLE social
event took place last night at Naomi
Chapter, 0. E. s., in the shape of a
''hard-times party" One coming on
the scene without the previous prepara-
ton of an explanation would have
thought he had stumbled upon a gath
ering in San Francisco or Stockton,
where hard times really do prevail, SO
realistic was the scene and so we'll was
the Illusion carried out. Even the boun-
tiful refreshment table seemed to par
take of the prevailing idea and present
ed very different appearance from the
elegant banquet tables ordinarily set
out by the chapter. But If there was
an appearance of poverty and pinching
want in the surroundings, there was no
paucity apparent in the enjoyment of
the occasion, and from the hearty
spirit in which all entered into the fun
1t was evident that dull care had flown
out of the window and had been barred
out
