Yesterday was the most beautiful
of winter days. and the ~pleasantest so
cial event of the week vas the supper
and bazaar given by the ladies' of the
Methodist church under it's suspicious
skies in their remodeled lecture
A New England dinner was served
from 5 to s O'Clock, and the ladies in
charge had all they could do to wait
upon the crowds which surrounded the
groaning tables. After supper the bril-
liartly decorated booths were the cen
ter of attraction. On the apron tables,
which were in charge of Mesdames
Dodge and Frary, there were
Aprons large and aprons small
For people short and people tall.
Aprons neat and aprons clean
For people fat and people lean.
All sorts of aprons found ready
sale. and afforded much amuse-
ment. The wife Of a professor purchas-
ed a sensible Bingham article to put
in her lords stocking, remarking that
it would be handy for him to wear
while getting his own breakfast these
cool mornings. She sternly and steadi-
ly refused to purchase an elaborate
bib arrangement, declaring she didn't
propose to be compelled to get up first
to help him put his apron on! Miss
Lutte Foster presided over the candy
booth where delicious home made dam
ties tempted the change from the peck.
cts Of old and young alike. Miss Mel
son. who IA e%ntrenched behind lus.
cious walls Of pop corn balls, was as
sisted in the sale Of her wares by
Misses Esther Randleman, Jessie Ire
wartha and Bada Johnson. Later in
the evening a pleasant informal pro-
gram was rendered, consisting Of Sc
lections by an orchestra directed by
Prof. Merz, vocal numbers by Miss
Laura Lee and a recitation by Mary
Wilson. The ladies netted SIS or more
as a result of the entertainment, and
they desire to express their cordial
appreciation Of the assistance given
them in any way by friends in their
OWh anu othCT CuuTCueS.

The exercises at the East Side school
yesterday again demonstrated the ne
cessity for an assembly hall large
enough to accommodate the parents
and friends of the pupils. In the
rooms where exercises were held, ev-
cry available inch of space was crowd
ed with visitors, and many turned
away, unable to get even within the
doors. Several fathers were included,
to the great delight of the babies, for
1t is a well known fact that a wee las
sic or laddie considers it the greatest
possible honor to have papa" present
or such occasions, and doubtless many
others would attend except for known
lack of oom for guests. The little
ones acquitted themselves in a man
ner which was highly complimentary
to the careful training of their instruc-
tors and pleasing to their friends, pre-
sentipg the programs already printed
in The Republican, in the basement
grades taught by Mrs. Whiting and the
Misses WEIGH, stryker. Hartley and
Agnes Wright. Grade 6 B, in charge
of Miss Cordiner, also presented an
acceptable program.

Mrs. Chaplin and Mrs. Hegewald IN
tertained the Birthday club at the
home of the former Wednesday after
noon of this week. Everybody" was
there, and in consequence q quiet,
and ~peaceable afternoon was spent.
Last year Mrs. Chaplin received as a
birthday gift an antiquated butter
knife, selected with loving care from
the city dump, but this year, being six
teen and more accustomed to the exi-
gencies of life, she managed matters
better, choosing her souvenir, an ex-
quisitely hand painted celery platter.
and having it at home in service sew
eral days before the appointed com
mittee we're prepared to begin their
career. Indeed, 1t may be asserted that
this club has now reduced the gift
problem to . hne art. In Witness
thereof it is recorded that when Mrs.
Hegewald makes up her mind what she
wants, they will get it for her! The
club will meet with Mrs. Ronee Janu'
AIRY II.
