Decidedly Pleasant AFfir
Among the pleasant d;.ucipg parties
of the season the oue given under the
auspices Of the ttebekah lodge in Odd
Fellows hall Friday evening can be
counted as pleasant event, and while
the nun ber in attendance was small it
did not dnrnDen the ardor of the dan
GERS, hnt scrved rather, to increase the
oprrr unity to give unbridled rein to
e.. ti' CT all the amusement there was to
be had. Previous to the dance con-
cert program was given which was
participated in by some very excellent
talent. The Parlor orchestra gave the
Introductory number, being followed
by Miss Florence Gregory, who recited
"a Dose of Painkiller," and she gave
splendid rendition of the humorous Sc
lcctioo. W. E. Lott rendered tenor
solo il his usually good taste and being
recalled, Mr.. Hoover and himself sang
q duet very acceptably. GLOW Ruby
Played" humorous selection describ-
ing Ruoenstein's piano playing was
given by Miss Phyllis Mackay, and the
young lady acquitted herself in a capa.
BILE manner by giving splendid inter-
probation of the rather difficult selec-
tiQn. Misses Hortense Ballard and
Gertrude Becker gave vocal duet,
which for its beauty and harmonious
effect was all that could be desired.
Their voices blended sweetly and the
mum Der was particularly satisfying.
Miss Ruth Holbrook, student at the
University, WAS heard in recitation
and probably the best she has yet been
heard in here. The title OF her selec-
tion was ''The Spanish Flower Girl"
and was done in costume, the renditi
of which brought into requisition some
really artistic work, and Miss Holbrook
certainly did the piece full justice.
"The Flowery Greeting" was sung by
the Misses Bras, Ballard and Kintigh.
the number being among the most en-
joyable on the program. The young
ladies are each good vocalsts and the
uuAoOh VI Viz SoiSoS IL OAO cOuS WAS
productive of sweet music. Miss Julia
Rogers, who has often been heard in
Mitchell in elocution mum bers, and
whose appearance is always welcomed,
recited "Aunt Sophronia at the Opera, -
and the selection lost none of itshumor-
GUS features in the way it was given
by this talented young lady. The pro-
gram closed with male quartet, COM
posed OF Messrs. Lott, Blanchard, Bras
and Dundas, singing "Alice, Where
Art Thou?" and which was acceptably
rendered.
1t was late when the program was fin
ished but every body went into the dance
with zest that it was apparent that
the lost time was to be made up When
the dance program was about half fin
ished the guests were invited out to
supper, which was in waiting in an ad-
joining room. The eatables were
nicely gotten up and the diversion was
pleasantly enjoyed. Dancing was then
resumed.
The Daughters of Rebekah are to be
congratulated on their success and al
though they worked hard they feel
repaid for their efforts.
