for many a day was the reception in
honor of Mrs. Joseph Stanford, given
in the Second ward institute Friday
evening The affair was arranged by
the Young Ladies' Mutual Improve
ment association of Weber stake
through it's executive council. Mrs.
Stanford has been the president of the
associations in Weber stake for about
eight years, during which time the Or
