with a duet from Mozart, rendered
nv Mrs. Ethan Howell and Miss Aooie
Llewellyn. This was followed oy q
very pleasing rendition Of "Santa's
Ballad from Flying Dutchman, oy
Miss Maude Wallace, the president OF
Of the club. Miss Laura Robertson

fourth number on the program, but
being prevented by an injured fingeri
Miss Llewellyn, who is always pre-
pared against any emergency, fileo
the number with the song, Beloved,
1t is Morn" which she sang in a man
ner so entirely agreeable to the guests
that she was invited to appear the sec
ond time, which she obligingly did.
Miss Llewellyn was succeeded by Mrs.
James Jesse, who played a violin solo
from Rouser, In a thoroughly capable
and spirited manner Next on the
program was the song, ''Robin Adair, '
arranged by Dudley Buck and sung oy
MeSdames f. r. Locke, Renfro Gibbs,
+. r. jesse and Miss Fonville. This
old song evidently had a firm hold on
the hearts Of the audience, and being
SO beautifully and all-satisfyingly rem
dered, brought forth an imperative
demand for an encore. This was fol-
lowed by the rendition of"La Gazelleh
from Kullak by Mrs. Howell, who
played 1t with her usual effective dash
and yIgor. Miss Russell, OF Hannibal,
next sang the taking little song, "A
Knot OF Blue" which so pleased the
hearers that a second performance
was asked for and granted. Mrs.
Weatherford followed with two in
strumental numbers, one from Kul-
lax, the second from C~haminade, 10
the rendering Of which she showed
herself to be a thorough mistress Of
the piano. A vocal number edtitled
IAN Open Secret" was next rendered
by that favorite In Mexico musical cir
Giles, Mr.. Ed Williams, and as usual
on the completion of the song an en-
core was demanded. AS encore, Mr..
Williams gave the guests an exceed
ingly catchy little number. On the
principle Of saving some Of the yery
best It'll the last, the final number, an
instrumental solo from Chopin, was
played by Miss Fonville, who, as al.
ways, showed the most thorough and
complete knowledge Of the piano. An
encore was called for to which Mis-
Fonville pleasantly responded. On the
completion Of the program the guests
were ushered into the dining room
where were two tables. The larger one
was decorated with an immense bowl

TAKE NO SUBSTITUTE,
MYSTERY OF TIE CITY HALL
Or where Was the Fire Apparatus

The-Mexico Fire Department Is fast
becoming the biggest joke In the
State and to cap the climax Friday
night the fireman when they arrived
at the city hall for practice could
not locate the hose carts. About $50
the usual IRE practice alarm was rung,
scarcely two seconds after the water
works whistle blew and then the
electric Light Plant whistle found the
chorus A. number OF Firemen who
had not heard the practice bell con.
cluded that there must be a blaze some
place and hurried to the city hall but
10 and beheid'' when they ar.
rived they were met by fellow
fremen all inquiring where the
hose carts were. Finally some one
arrived who said he thought the ap-
paratus was In the rock breaking shed.
A thorough search located the lost
carts but as the gate TO the lot was
locked the hose could not be moved,
consequently. no practice. What
would have happened If there had
been a blaze? At present the city
might have a "hddler'' and try "Nero's
method, Of extinguishing fires. II
no doubt would be as adequate as the
present apparatus.

issued a lengthy written and most
pressing invitation to the members Of

to be present at his house on Friday
evening Of this week and promising
to spare expense only in showing them

should each one fetch along a.
bunch of lunch, the entertainment

Van Ness larder was In a somewhat

more kindly pointed out to them that
the omission OF certain eatables could
possibly be endured; namely, pink
gelatfne, chocolate fudge, glucose
prawlines, loop-the-loops and fruit
mystery with hand-me-down dressing
Mint ice lit up with Paris Green might
also be dispensed with. As 50 many
fashionable and wholesome dishes
we're excluded, the club members bad
a trifing difficulty in selecting Q menu
suited to the delicate appetite Of their
host. Finally, after giving weighty
consideration TO the subject, the fol-
lowing was evolved: Mr.. aud Mrs.
win Coons took limburger cheese
soaked In olive oil; Mr.. and Mrs. Z. $.
Wilson provided mystery salad, which
for the benefit OF the Hardin College
cooking class, We will say, Is composed
OF raw potatoes and raw onions thor
oughly ~impregnated with uncracked
nuts. A neatly packed Ice cream
freezer was donated by Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Robertson and upon being
opened was found TO contain q twenty
year old rubber oyersh0e In a high
state OF preservation. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sandford supplied the meat course
which was q live cat, while MI. aud
Mrs. Fred Morris served a most de-
llcious desert, a bucket OF sawdust
Needless to say that with all these
good things to eat: sufficient to make
French chef green with envy. A grand
and glorious time was had at The party
