The ladies of the Christian church
sustained their reputation in the
social they gave last Friday night.

of more than ordinary acceptabi'ity.
After that the supper was in order.
and more dainty and at the same
time bounteous refreshment has sci.

Tho primary object seemed to be
that everyone should have a good
time and the money paid was sec
ondary. And every one did have a
good time, plenty of entertainment,
plenty to eat and plenty of attention.
Such socials, with such spirit,
serve to create good fellowship and
make one think that the church is a
mighty good place to be. The ladies
of this particular church can always
expect to have large attendance at
their gatherings, when they make
them as pleasant as they do.
