The Lenten season is on, and there
has been to some extent a surcease OF
social functions by the many who keep
the season. notwithstanding there
have been a number of social events
in the past week, enjoyable to those
who have participated, and there are
a number in prospect which will keep
the season from being altogether dull.
Several enjoyable dances and func-
lions of various kinds have been the
occasion of much entertainment and
enjoyment in the past week, and a
number of parties are on the tapis for
the coming week which will afford an
Interesting relaxation from the cares
of business and daily a%vocation.
The members of the Q. A. M. anc
ing club gave their first dance Wednes-
day. night of this week at Baker hall.
About twenty-five couples were pres
emit and music was furnished by Roth's
orchestra. The hall has been recently
fitted with electric lights, much to its
improvement, and is much prettler
than heretofore. Dancing commenced
at a little before 9 O'Clock and contin-
. ued until -, the name of the club sig
nifying "Quit at Midnight" All OF
the members of the club expressed
themselves as pleased with the sue
cess. of the first party. A series OF
=, dances. five or six in number, will be
given during the next two months.
Company A, the local militia com
pany, will begin next Monday night
with a series of popular dances to be
held each Monday night after the drill
of the company. The militia com
pany's dances have always been popu'
lar and there is no reason to believe
those to be given in the future will
prove less popular than heretofore.
