ABOUT DRESS HILL.
Diphtheria Scare Prevents ANY Social
Affairs.


Affairs.
The Hill has been pretty badly
worked up during the past week
over the diphtheria scare, which
has had good foundation, there be.
ing several cases OF this disease
reported in the vicinity, with one
death, that OF the little daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Ives, result
ing from it. Thus far this Is the
only death, but several severe
cases, it is said, have developed,
the majority though are in a mild
form. The two on Cactus street
were both mild and both uafor-
| fortunates have recovered. This
little scare has succeeded in break
ing up any social affairs Of the
Hill that might have occurred, but
not so with East End and South
Heights, the more lucky neigh
bors OF the Hill.
The South Heights Pleasure
club gave a dance, which was
very delightful affair and thor
oughly enjoyed by those partici-
pating, in the handsome new res
idence OF DR.. Shropshire Friday
night. President Alex. Davis al
ways strives to make all affairs of
this club a success, and the one
Friday night was to be classed
among his best efforts. Good
music was furnished and the dane
ing was kept up until late hour.
There were present between % and
80 young couples, large number
from the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Julius
Holmgreen were the chaperones,
but Mr.. Holmgreen proved to be
one of the youngest in the party as
soon as the music was started.
Miss Bertha Holmgreen received
the company and made an excel
lent hostess. At eleven o'clock the
young folks, amid the strains Of
music, were marched to the dining
room, where on a table, beautifully
decorated with chryssnthemums,
bounteous supper was served by
Mrs. Holmgreen and several other
ladies aided by Mr.. Holmgreen,
"chief taster." This club will
shortly give masquerade ball, to
which its members are looking for
ward with great pleasure.
A musical and literary enter
tsinment was given in the East
End Presbyterian church Friday
night which was a very successful
affair, both in quality Of entertain
ment and attendance, the program
being quite long and select one
and the attendance large. The af-
fair caused considerable wearyness
in not beginning promptly, 1t be-
ing after 8 o'clock when the first
mum Der on the program was taken
up, but after it began all felt lib
orally repaid for the trouble caused
by the delay. Hearty encores
and applause throughout were &C.
corded, several participants being
repeatedly recalled. The affair
was attended by both young and
old, the young folks being in the
majority, from Dreiss hill East
End, South Heights, and goodly
number from down town. Miss
Marion Doves recitations were re-
ceived with storms of applause and
she was recalled repeatedly. She
was also presented with q hand
