have been pretty social affairs bu,
the select Easter Ball last evening
at l. o. r.. M. Hall under the aus
pices of the Metropolitan club was
the swellest event of its kind tc
occur in our city in many years
The Hall was prettily decorated
with the National colors while the
air was fragrant with perfume from
cut flowers, potted plants, palms
and ferns, while the many colored
lights blended harmoniously ,o,.h
the pretty evening costumes of the
ladies. Excellent music was furn.
ished by the Cap Friesner orchestra
while Master Charley Smith served
refreshing lemonade punch to the
thirsty guests. The floor was un.
der the immediate supervision of
Harry E. Rose, a prince of good
fellows. who looked after the wants
OF the guests and saw that the
ladies' were provided with partners
and all thoroughly enjoy them
selves. The dance was select,
yet pleasant social affair, aud an
event which will be long remem.
bered by those fortunate in being
in attendance. AT midnight oc-
Cured an intermission of one hour

The Parliamentary Club held a
very Entertaining and instructive ses-
sion last evening at the home of Miss
White and Mrs. BEEN. Subsidiary
motions were up for discussion with
Mrs. j. w. BEEN leading in the dis
cussion and Miss Myra Brown as
sisting. The drills are not only pleas
ant sources of recreation but IN
structive as well, in fact being ad-
vanced schools of thought, and we
would that the Logan board of educa
tlon could see it in our light and in
troduce the study of parliamentary
rules as one of the branches in our
public schools. Through the court
esy of the hostess of the evening,
Mrs. j. w. BEEN, we were permitted
to be an interested listener at the
drill last evening and we can only
say that the evenings in attendance
at these drills are evenings we'll
spent. To the uninitiated it might
appear that the evenings exercises
listless and the subjects dry but we
were witness to the fact that in the
efforts. to either defeat or carry mo-
t1on many bits Of pleasantly and
witticism are introduced by the
speakers which keep the members,
and their guests too, in good humor
and keeps them interested from the
opening until the close of the meet
ing. Among other things brought
before the house last evening was a
motion to digest the Presidents mes
sage and the way the ladies handled
the subject proved that they are
more or less acquainted with the af-
fairs of our nation.
