Social events during the week kept the
social editor of the HERALD on a quick
move. 1t appeared as if the good people
of Aberdeen had all agreed to have Il
good time during the advent of st. Val
entine.
To begin with, there was the perform
ances OF the George Minstrel Troupe on
Friday and Sunday nights. The com
pany, which traveles in its own car, is
composed of artists in their line and
commanded fairly good houses both
evenings.
The same night Friday the +. x A.
] NJ. Lodge No. -, entertained large num-
Der OF invited guests TO an evening of
merriment in koeher's hall. The occa-
sion was arranged for cards and dancing,
but rs everybody appeared too 10th to
was made at the first feature. The hall
had been specially decorated for the pur-
pose, and an elegant lunch had been pre-
pared which was done justice to in very
relishing and pleasing way. About $50
guests were present.
Saturday night number OF the young
people gave social dance in the spacious
dining room OF the Brunswick hotel. The
event was surprise on Hine Host Max
Sanford. About 30 couples were in at.
tendance and all had merry time until
a late hour.
Again on Monday the Forresters mas
querade ball at Koehler's hall was also
we'll attended and was social and finan-
cial success. The array OF costumes was
elaborate and several comical dandies
were noticed who amused the spectators
to a very great degree. Supper was
served by the ladies Of st. Andrews
Guild for Is cents plate which was par
taken OF with luxurious delight. The
ladies netted neat sum OF money which
went to defray PASTORAL expenses.
Fifteen years ago Miss Jessie kellman
was a wee valentine, sent to gladden. the
hearts of proud father and mother.
Last Monday she invited fifteen OF her
young friends to celebrate the anniversary
of that event. The evening was spent
from seven till ten with games and re-
freshments, and it is difficult to tell who
enjoyed it the most, the guests the young
hostess, or the aged grandmother, Mrs.
Elizabeth McGregor. May the bright
little lady have many more happy re.
turns.
On Monday evening last, the members
of the Epwortil League gave Valentine
social at the residence OF MFR. and Mrs.
Grant Wheeler in East Aberdeen. The
chief feature OF the evenings entertain
ment was the graphophone operated by
Mr.. Duncan Warwick. The musical pro-
auctions were perfect, and "Prof." War.
wick ground out the dulcet strains with
the grace and dignity Of professional

to the elegant refreshments, and ere We
were aware the relentless time piece
, struck the hour Of midnight. Mr.. ant
