ST. Cecilia Social.

The social given by the st. Cecilia
Guild of the St. Cornelius church. at the
g. A. r. ball, an Saturday evening, last,
was great success, both socially and
financially. Although gotten up in only
two thee days, the program and en-
tertainmeHt throughout, reflected great
credit upon the officers ami members of
this young aud wly-organized Guild,
and the friends who assisted them. All
those who took part in the musical, and
literary program acquitted themselves
creditably, and gave evidence of posses
sing no small degree of ability. Besides
the artistically arranged and pretrily
served candy, valentines and refresh
ment tables, there were several unique
features, noteworthy among which were
the japanese booth, at which was served
in dainty cups, chocolate, tea and waters,
by two young ladies, dressed in the pic
turesque costume of the ''Flowery King
DOM the tent of Zenobia, the Gypsy
Queen, and the Mysterious tent at the OPP
posite end of the platform, upon the
front of which appeared the legend ts'rhe
prettiest thing in Dodge City" Both
tents drove IA thriving and profitable bust
ness. The attendance was SO large to
far exceed the expectations of the pro-
motors, and to ove.tax the seating capac-
ity of the hall, but all enjoyed themselves
thoroughly and everyone was happy.
The social was given with the object of
scoring funds with which to provide
vestments for the choir of thirty, which
has just been organized, and which is to
be vested, for the first time, on the COM
ing Easter Day. The Guild has by the
social, secured more than enough for the
purpose. This first attempt of this young
Guild being SO successful. has encouraged
them TO promise to give more elaborate
entertainment after Easter. The officers
and members of the St. Cecilia Guild
hereby tender thanks TO all those who
kindly assisted them in this their first eff
fort, and to the people of Dodge City, for
their generous patronage.
