Perhaps tho largest and most enjoy
able social ever given in Rocky Ford was
that at the home Of Mrs. J. E. Godding last
Friday evening under the direction Of the
ladies Of the NJ. +. church. The guests
numbered only few less than 100. The
program Of the evening was composed
largely OF music and what might be
called illustrated literary charades. Vo.
cal and instrumental music was furn-
isled by Mesdnmes Ament, Sigman. Win
Stella Hagen and Theodosia Barkley.
The literary charades excited universal
interest. A series OF pictures made by a
Rocky Ford school boy artist were OK
hibited, the company guessing the book
or author which the picture represented.
Cards were distributed on which the
guests wrote their respective guessee.
Prizes Of infinitesimal value were given
to those who interpreted the entire series
of pictures. Following this was a sort Of
biographical play in which the names Of
prominent personages were guessed at
from incidents in their history. The
evening closed with cake and coffee. II
all present did not have good time nc
evidences Of the fact were visible.
The Ladies' Relief Society held a
largely attended and most enjoyable en-.
tertainment at the homo Of Mrs. g. H
Winchell Tuesday evening. At the bust.
ness meeting case Of want was present
ell md committee at once proceeded to
investigate. Arrangements were made
provided for the family. One case Of
almost always wrongly used. was con-
sidered and the ladies decided to let no
more Of their money go in that direction.
Money was voted to pay the expenses OF
sick woman and son to Canon City
where she has relatives. About six
O'Clock the gentlemen arrived in strong
force and soon after delightful luncheon
was served. In addition to the good
which tho ladies' are doing through this
society it's social privileges are such as
are needed to keep town people we'll &C.
auainted with each other. Had any in
telligent stranger happened in at the So
ciety's meeting Tuesday evening he
would have at once decided that Rocky
Ford contained large number OF very
nice people. The next meeting Of the
society will be held with Mrs. Louis
Swink, Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 2.
Don't forget that Kimzey's is
headquarters for everything in
the Grocery line.
