A very pleasant evening was spent
last Friday night at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. R. Ellsbury at Lucca.
North Dakota. by party of invited
guests, in honor of Mrs. H. Blair, who
departed Sunday morning to join her
husband who is located at Eckman.
The evening was spent in playing pro-
gressive whist. Postmaster Shaw car

ceeded in capturing the BOBBY prize.
After bounteous repast, the guests
departed after voting the host and
hostess royal entertainers.
The band boys are planning to give
big masquerade ball on the evening
of February 9th, at Lucca, North Da-

The absolutely correct coming dress
for gentlemen:
Evening Dress Styles.
Evening dress does not vary much
this season from what it was last year.
The trousers are perhaps trifle
looser over the calves than they were
then, and have consequently less
shape. The use of braid down the
outer seams is nearly obsolete in the
best set, but it is frequent fashion
in middle class society. A white waist
coat is worn at dances and evening
receptions, but not at home dinners;
at theaters and evening concerts, but
not at public dinners. These are the
correct rules. All of them are trans
crossed by considerable number of
people, just as there ere always peo-
pie who will wear fold collar with
mourning coat, or Tattersall waist
coat with full day dress, or waist
coat slip with fancy waistcoat; but
these exceptions do not make any diff
ference to the correct rule, which can
only be learned by using discrimina-
ton in observing and mixing with
correct society Similarly, there
are plenty of double breasted
evening waistcoats to be seen, and
some of them are even made either by
tailors who are not well-informed, or
by those whose clients insist upon
being a law unto themselves; but the
correct style is to wear only SINGLE
breasted waistcoats, day or night.
Again, watch chains are often seen in
the evening, though they should not
be. Fob chains are practically obso-
lete
The Charity Ball to be given by the
young ladies of the Realaiea club at
the Commercial club rooms on the 18th
will be we'll attended.
Mrs. F. E. Packard, who has lately
moved here from Crookston, will be
an addition socially y.
The law is coming our way more
and more. Two young ladies in Brook
Ign were caught not long ago mas
querading in male attire. When ar
rested and brought before the magis.
trate, his decision was, 1.-THE law per-
mits women with husbands to wear
trousers, but find 1t is forbidden for
spinsters to do anything of the sort.
The code says, "A femme sole shall
not assume the apparel of the oppo-
site sex. So, young women, you have
violated the law and must be sent to
jail"
Now why do you think of that?
First one fudge decides we have a
right to so through their trousers
pockets and take what we find, but
that q decision would come that we
could don these self-same trousers is
overwhelming and opens up possibili-
ties we never dreamed of before.
