The La Junta Circle, No. 81,
gave a "hard times" social last
Saturday evening, but from the
large number present and the
gaiety Of the crowd it seemed most
any thing else but hard times.
The crowd was too merry for any
one to believe that poverty was
real. or that the many laughable
costumes were worn from neces-
sity. The ancient, torn and
patched garments which many
wore were sights to see and were
enough to keep a gloomy person
laughing for a month. The ladies
and their friends surely succeeded
in entertaining all present. as all
lef: the hall in the best of humor.
A nice programe was furnished.
which consisted mostly OF music.
The High School orchestra played
a number Of pieces which were
enjoyed by all. as also the selec-
tions played by Mrs. Talbert,
little Grace Bylsnd. Cecil and
Emil Wolf, Ralph Mendelson.
Myrtle Lynn, AMI last, but not
least, the solos sung by "Weary
Willie." better known as Harry
Knowles.
There were other interesting
features on the progiame such as
the "fat woman's drill" the "le.n
folks parade, the "blind lady with
the ACCORDION, and a nice jig by
an old Missouri representative who
knew the step to perfection.
The blind woman was the belle
Of the evening and was awarded
the first prize. The ragged wo-
man, with the little ragged twins,
received the second prize, and the
young lady darkies received the
third prize. There were also three
prizes Tor the gentlemen which
we're awarded as merited, George
Mcneil receiving first prize, Mr..
Sherman second prize, and Harry
Knowles third prize.
