<><<<<< . . <>>> We can't resist referring to the times of long ago in Douglas chiefly because the present state forms such a striking contrast. It wouldn't speak well for us if We didn't move with the
 times and keep in touch with things up-to-date, but go away for while and find out for yourself just how | faYorably we compare with cities per haps five times as large. Our visit ors marvel at the growth of a town
 such as Douglas is and must eventual | ly be, but most of all they envy our
 spirit of good fellowship. You have
 such a congenial crowd--such dandy
 boys"-and so we have. We aren't
 blind to that fact for single moment. How we could ever get a reputation for being unsocial is almost beyond imagining, and must now be entirely eliminated when one encounters one of those jolly porch parties so com
 mon these warm evenings. Only re-
 gently some one came up and in whis- | pers begged that the affair should
 not be written up as a party though
 in reality the porch was simply crowd ed with a splendid company who | QTOppe0 III lOT dn lUlOTtlldl evening, Then will some one kindly serve as | informant and disclose the name or
 names of those who have started the | "party-calp' fever. A year ago there was considerable talk of ones duty in
 these lines but it was such a burden some affair and looked upon with con
 siderable dread Now when you meet some well -groomed sty1ishly dressed young man with a very alert air and quick pace, you need never ask any questions, but rest assured he's on
 his way to make party call And us-
 ually these calls wind up with anoth-
 CT jolly evening almost a party in
 themselves.
 l An event of last week which will be
 remembered for many weeks to come
 was the dance given by the Thirteen
 club at the Orpheum on last Saturday
 night. To some it meant a renewal of
 old acquaintances; to the out-of-town
 visitors it gave an opportunity for
 meeting the merriest of crowds, and
 to still others it was a farewell be,
 fore departures for vacations. But
 without a single exception it meant an
 evening of complete abandon and ab
 solute enjoyment for the young peo pie. Though impromptu in the ex treme, weeks Of preparation could have made no difference. Most every
 one felt in the mood for a good dance
 she evening was an ideal one, and
 the music greatly to be compliment cd Another pleasant feature was the attention given the refreshments un der the supervision of Mir, Haffly which were nicely served from the stage platform, and which received re peated attacks from the young people during the lapse between dances , There were at least thirty-five couple!
 who could not wait for the long pre- amble of a grand march, but delveC into the dance upon the first strain: from the orchestra pit. There were . the usual thirteen dances with thret
 extras and numberlesS enco-es eacf dance receiving the verdict as beins the best so far. Those present were , Messrs. and Mesdames c. O. Thomas ". G. Mcdonald, J. NJ. Sparks, Eich
