Members Of the Butte social circle have
been looking forward with much pleas
urable anticipation to a german slated
for next Tuesday evening. but it is just
possible that a postponement of the event
may be AIKEN. 1t was to have been
given at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Forbis in the western part of the
city. but the death of Mr.. Forbis' sister
yesterday morning has caused a change
In the programme. Now it will either be
continued to a later date or held at some
other residence. probably the latter.
There nave been several enjoyable
e,ents Of a social nature this week, one
OF winch, and probably the most general,
being the reception given by the Union
club last Monday evening. This organi-
cation does not give dances at stated
periods. but only when its members are
prompted to indulge the pastime and
amusement. Quite a number of the
Entire Nous club members were present
by invitation.
In addition to this dance a number of
card parties We're held.
