THE EASTER SOCIAL.
The pleasantest Event of the
Season.

Season.
Last Monday evening the ladies of
Ely again demonstrated their ability to
get up delightful entertainment. The
Easter Social was marked success in
every particular. Hips Hall was filed
to full capacity and spirit of sociabil-
ity and enjoyment pervaded the assem-
blage, such as is seldom witnessed in a
public gathering. All of Ely was there
and many from the surrounding
ranches.
The work OF the various committees
who had the social in charge is worthy
OF the highest praise. The decorations
committee, with the aid of bunting and
evergreens, had effectively transformed
the interior of the hall. The booths,
were especially artistic. At the candy
booth, Miss Jennie Carothsrs did a
rushing business with the children, old
and young. The ice cream booth, pre-
sided over by Mrs. ID. c. Mcdonald
and Mrs. J. p. McOmie, and the coffee
booth, in charge OF Mesdames Richard
son and Stearns, were equally popular.
Tables we're spread around the room,
where all who desired refresh nents
we're served by four charming wait
resses, Misses Comins, Gampton, Par
ker and Rutledge, during intermissions
in the programme.
The cake to be rallied with its golden
contents had booth TO itself, and was
guarded by Mrs. Weber. There were
not chances enough to go around, SO a
second five dollar gold piece was put
up, on the same conditions as the first.
When the cake was opened, 33 was
found to be the lucky number and Mrs.
d. c. Mcdonald and Mr.. Alex. Wise
wore declared the winners. Another
cake was auctioned of and proved to
be a veritable gold mine. Sol Hip
bought 1t first for 10. He donated
it back to be sold again, and before any
body could be found who would keepi 1t,
1t had changed hands five times and
netted a total of over $500.
The programme was composed of
vocal and instrumental music, reeita-
tions and special features which pro-
voked frequent applause from the ap
preciative audience. The songs, Mona"
by Mrs. Frank Paul, and THE Caro-
lima Twins" by Miss Jean McOmie, were
both heartily encored. =. c. Weber
scored a success In the character songs,
"a Dollar and Fifteen Cents" and
s'Three Thousand Miles Away which
we're received with shouts of approval.
Another decided hit was the ''Cake
Walk, by little Beatrice and Fred
Jensen, who quite ''took the cake. y
The recitatibns, 1.-THE Polish Boy and
Entertaining Her Big Sisters Beau,
were both well rendered by Miss Siona
Bonneville, who displayed considerable
versatility and dramatic ability. The
"Wand Drill" was cloverly executed by
eight girls and formed very pretty
feature. Other musical numbers, in
cluding a duet on the piano, by Mrs.
Campton and Miss Bonneville; a song,
"Only Dream of Home, F" by a quar-
tette consisting of Mesdames McGill and
Campton and Messrs. Cartwright and
Stearns; and a guitar and mandolin
duet, by Mrs, G. f. Mezger and Miss
Mezger, were all well received and
heartily applauded. Tho programme
appropriately concluded with the song,
'sHome, Sweet Home" in which all
were invited to join.
Financially as well as socially, the al
fair was a great success. The total re-
csipts amounted to S93. go, while the net
proceeds were S74.65. This sum will
be placed in the treasury of the Sun
day school, and will make nice nest
egg towards the next Christmas enter
