MATAMORAS.

Prescott's Hall, on Friday evening, pre-
sented very pleasing scene when the
Junior Aid Society connected with Ep-
worth Church gave their patriotic social.
The young ladies of the society were all
dressed in white, with red and blue trim
mings and caps to correspond. The hall
was decorated for the occasion, and great
taste was displayed in the arrangements.
The choruses were very fine and the
recitations of Misses Billman and Cisco
were we'll rendered, as were also the dia-
logues. The tableau Omitted States and
Cuba" had beautiful effect, as did also
the one entitled Loyalty to the flag"
Mr. Frank Wilkin, accompanied by
Miss Nellie Langton on the organ, gave an
excellent violin solo.
At the close of the entertainment cake
and cream were served. Miss Irene Kim
BILE is president of the society; Miss Mary
Squires is Secretary and Miss Emma Bill
man Treasurer. Great credit is due Miss
Kimble for getting up the entertainment.
The society realized nice sum and thank
their many friends for their presence at
the hall on Friday evening.
The second Of the series of hops given
under the auspices of the Arbitrium Club
took place at Farnums Hall, Port Jer-
Wis, and upwards of two hundred guests
were in attendance. Dancing was the di-
version of the evening and that fascinat-
ing pastime was INDUCED in with all the
added zest and pleasure that comes from
,.f
Mr. Davis, clarinet, Thos. Bierne, violin,
and Miss Mary Squiers, pianist, executed
the most popular modern dance music in
a manner which would have put life into
an Egyptian mummy, and which was an
inspiration to the happy young people who
were present. The talented young musi-
clan, Miss Mary Squiers, was the hostess
of the occasion. A delicious supper was
served in the dining room by Caterer Pet
ers, after which the young people resumed
dancing with renewed energy and oontin-
ued the pastime to an early hour in the
morning, when all departed with pleas
ant recollections of the happy occasion.
The young people who are so fortunate
as to be on the invitation list of the Arbit-
rum Club will learn with pleasure that
the organization will he maintained and
the dances resumed in the Fall.
