towns, including large representation
Of the Nayasota german club. Thehall

the prevailing colors being white, pink
and blue. The windows aud walls were
draped with these colors, tremendously
blending and relieved by moss aud
eyergreens. TIE committee on decora-

taste and simplicity Of their work, and
the members Of the committee in turn
ieel grateful for the invaluable assist
ance Of DR.. W. G. Fountain. The work
Of general management was 10 the.
hands Of Mr.. Frank Clarke, and the
success achieved Is largely the result Of

were the initial letters, d. Y. X, form
ed by colorcd electric lights.
