social way. with the good-old time
stories and games. A bountiful

present, presented Mr.. Vogel with an
easy chair. To which the host re-

The MaCcabeeS.

The dance given on Friday night at

genuine success-socially and finan-

couples present, and if there were any
who did not have good time the fault
was with themselves. The committee
spared no pains to make this, their
first dancing party, a success, and they
were most successful. 1t was nearly
2:30 before s'Home, Sweet Home" was
announced, so pleasantly had the
night passed the dancers hardly real
