OUR NATIVE DAUGHTERS.

The orange social given last Monday night by Las Lomas Parlor in Mission Parlor Hall was another of those delight ful, enjoyable affairs that the members of this parlor know so well how to ar range. The hail was tastefully decorated in orange. and on the walls and on the chandeliers were clusters of oranges which made striking and effective dec ordtion; but the most striking feature of these clusters was that the oranges were all on branches of lilac. It was a sort of yellow fake that was eXcusable for want or orange trees from which to strip branches. There was short programme that included music, songs, games and dancing between numbers. Julius Han cock favored with a vocal solo; Miss Emma Hicks entertained with piano se- lections; Mrs. J. H. Burlington and Mir Hancock gave charming vocal duet; the tEriend of the Native Daughters'' occupied ten minutes telling stories, and the most amusing of the games was the contest between the United States and Spain. represented by a row of ladies and gentlemen on one side of the line and balloon was started down the line, and each side had to bat it, and when it reached the end of the line the struggle was to keep it on one side or the other, side It went to the United States The committee that had charge of the affair was: Miss Matte Paris, Miss Gimpel, Miss Waters, Mrs. McAllister, Mrs. S.
