The WOodmen Ball.

Just about the most pleasant af-
fair that has claimed the attention
of Brownsville social circles for
some time, was the delightful ball
given at the opera house last even
ing by Frontier camp w. o. w.
The hall was decorated with flags,
and above the entrance, amidst the
drapings of old Glory was hung a
framed picture of George Washing
ton, whose anniversary the day
celebrated. A representative at.
tendance of Brownsville's young
people graced the occasion, and to
the strains of splendid music fur
nished by Anzaldua's famous string
bard, the hours knew no tagging,
but seemingly lewby, as though TO
end a scene of glad enjoyment ere
the cup of pleasure had been filled
to its brim. The balmy air, touch
ed by a nip of old Barea made the
evening delightful for dancing, and
the attendants made good use of
the time.
To those who labored so faithful
ly in preparation for the success of
the ball great praise is due, and
was given in ample measure by
those who attended. Refreshments
were served and formed quite an
attractive feature of the evening,
and the Woodmen ball passes into
the history of our city's social life
as a most pleasant occasion.

How to Open a New Book

If books were rightly treated
when then they are newly bound
there would be less likelihood
of their backs being broken after
wards by rough handling. The
covers should be opened one at a
time and laid as far back as the Ia
bic upon which the book is resting;
then gradually all the leaves, a few
at the back and a few at the front
of the book, should be laid upon
the covers. The book will then be
in condition for ordinary wear, and
the covers will not break away if
not abused. When called sudden
ly away from a book which you are
reading do not lay it face down on
a table or throw a handkerchief be-
tween its leaves, but have a book
marker handy.-Ex.
