her many friends here as "Aunt Kate"
was q woman Of q pleasant. jovial, and

Mrs. Baum was born in New Orleans.
Louisiana, IS years ago. In the early '70's
she crossed the Plains and settled in
Southern California. where she resided
with relatives for about Eve years, then

A PATTY SUGGESTION.

The season Of festivities has been with
us for sometime and thus FAR . good many
parties, balls, etc., have been had In Eu-
reks, ell Of which were highly enjoyable
affairs. We have one suggestion to make,
however, upon the hour OF meeting. which
we think would be an improvement. On
such occasions SOM go early and some go
late. Those going early during the Winter
have been compelled 10 wait In the hall
for some time before the dancing would
begin. and q few have even gone away and
come back TO the hall AZ Q later hour. Az
this season OF the year, when the nights
are so long and the days are so short, 1t
would be much better that the dancing
should be begun at an earlier hour-ssy 8
o'clock. II sll would assemble promptly
al that time il certainly would increase
the pleasure OF the evening TO q large num-
Der and diminish il 10 none. Although IL
Ia said TO be "dignified to be waited for,
vet in the case under consideration we
think no ones dignity would materially
suffer by the observance Of the earlier hour
Of meeting.
Now this suggestion Of the SENTINEL is
indeed 9 PARTY suggestion. II is In no
sense Of the word q PARTISAN suggestion.
| We make 10 purely and simply in the in
| terest Of social enjoyment.
We do not limit this to affairs ct the
Opera House, but think that IL applies
equally to social gatherings in private
houses,
