The W. c. t. U. social Wednesday even
ing OF last week, for which DR.. and Mrs.
Corwin kindly opened their house, was q
very pleasant affair. Notwithstanding
the fact that the closing lecture OF the
farmers institute was held at the same
time, there was a goodly number present
The program was especially enjoyable
from the sweet songs OF 'swee" Ruby AL
len to the excellent recitations OF Misses
Blanche Townsend and Alice Corwin
The instrumental music was varied and
fine. Little Charlie Densmore, aged six,
won much praise by his deft handling OF
the "clappers' and his skillful playing on
the flute. Master Freddie Copeland gave
banjo solo and Fanny Tracy played the
auto harp, and the opening piece on the
organ by Miss Edna Hutchinson ana the
violin duets by Mr.. Bacon and Blanche
Townsend are deserving OF special notice.
An unexpected treat not on the program
and one which brought an added contri-
butioh to the treasury was recitation by
one OF the white ribbon matrons, a treas
ure preserved from her girlhood days.
The financial result Of this pleasant even
ing will be sent to the Woman's Temple,
Chicago.
