There was sort of love feast and
social at the Odd Fellows hall last night.
one OF those occasions where everything
seems to dovetail into each other for a
royal good time. The occasion was one
under the auspices OF the Rebekah lodge
an auxiliary organization to the Odd
Fellows II there 10 a reader Of these
lines who has not attended an entertain
ment by the Rebekahs, it is the advice of
the writer that he forthwith and now
make up his or her mind that when the
next opportunity is presented that he or
she will not miss an affair wherein the
ladies Of the Rebekah are concerned.
The program was lengthy one, yet
not a number upon same which was tire
some in the least. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to make extended notice Of all, there
fore only those which seemed to partic-
ularly attract the audience will be men
toned. However, it must be said that
all of the numbers had merit and all were
and are deserving of mention.
The Odd Fellows hall was crowded
with the friends of the order. There was
not vacant chair, although many
special ones had been brought into the
hall to accommodate the crowd. 1t could
almost be said there was no vasant stand
ing room.
In her inimitable way Miss Stella
Wood recited two selections which
tckled the young folks greatly and made
the older ones smile at the foolishness Of
love.
A song by two colored boys from Ala
bama, the boys being Willis Smith jr.,
and Walter Jones was very humorously
and attractively rendered.
Mr. Frank Leslie was never in better
voice to sing than last night when rend-
Hearts Tonight in Texas" He received
almost an ovation at it's conclusion.
Mrs Corrine Abbey sang charmingly

Abbey wss wont to sing at public enter.
tainments and then her voice was con-
sidered excellent, but it has much i'm
proved in volume and beauty.
| Miss Callahan recited descriptive
piece, which was delightfully."- recited,
full Of sympathy and patbos.
Not the least of the enjoyable num-
bers Of the program was by Leon Chap
man. CRITICALLY speaking Mr.. Chapman
towers way above the average amateur
| recitationist, as he should, having had
much experience in that line and hav-
ing been most successful student in
schools of oratory. He spoke an original
composition last night in costume, en-
titled "Joshby Joins the Rebekahs." :" 1t
was extremely humorous and was given
with the vim and dash for which Mr..
Chapman is noted. So vociferous was
the applause that he was compelled to
recite again giving as his encore "When
PAS Corn's is Ripe" Mr.. Chapman has
many times entertained the people OF
this city and they never tire OF hearing
him, as he is most conscientious IN every
thing which he undertakes.
