low tue play. Seats are now on sale at

1t was quite generally suggested
around the town, Tuesday, that it would
be good idea to have mo store" sig
nal as well as no school signal. Ga days
like Tuesday the average store does not
take In money enough to pay for the oil
that 1t takes to oil the lock on the front
door and some OF the proprietors and all
Of the clerks feel that they might just as
we'll have the day off on such occasions.
The weather of last Tuesday was about
the worst OF the present winter but not
withstauding this, the dancing party at
Milburn hall on that evening proved to
be easily the event Of the season thus
far. IL was carried out In much the
same manner as one held about year
since and attended by much the same
people, in this respect having quite the
appearance of an annual affair. The
folder containing the program of dances
was an inspiration OF the season OF st.
Valentine. After having enjoyed the
eight dances assigned to the first division
of the evening the company were served
to refreshments 10 the smaller hall by
caterer Delano. German figures under
the direction of Roy L. Marston follow
ed Immediately after intermission, the
tables being presided over by Mrs. NJ.
T. Pooler and Miss Lola Goodwin. A
quadrille and several extra dances fol-
lowed the german and completed the
program for the evening. Card tables
were arranged for those who wished to
play but dancing proved the stronger
attraction and they were very little used.
The aft air was arranged and carried out
by Mrs. j. Wallace Blunt and Mrs. B.
T. Steward.
