evening by the society people of the city
at Gray's hall, is for the benefit of the
Woman's Board of Trade and the La
dies Soldiers Aid Society. The partici-
pants in the entertainment are not
known to the general public and the
secrecy thus maintained will add much
to the novelty of the affair. That there
| will be a large attendance is a foregone
conclusion.

guel, Miss LaRne and Miss Atkins went
to Las Vegas last evening. The Misses

by the young people of the city. Mrs.

| Washington. which will be in about a
week.
