Miss Maggie ), ", daughter of
William Shaw and wife of Cameron

the monotony and lethargy into
which the district had fallen, she
would appoint Saturday evening
last as the time to give box supper
and to have social time.
In response to this call about sixty
young peop.e for miles around came
with their boxes bedecked in vari-
gated colors, in tinsel and in gold.
The packages they called boxes were
of every shape and size consistent
with the makers wish to mislead the
purchaser should he be too inquisi-
tive. The boxes of course were filled
with the very choicest vians and edi-
bles known to the epicurean art.
After the boxes had been arranged
in one end of the room, Mr.. Cameron
Ross was elected auctioneer, and in a
very scientific manner, which he
learned of course of Mertz, he COM
menced to call for bids. The res
ponse to his calling showed the mag
netism with which he swayed his
purchasers. From a few cents they
would go to the dollars, and quickly
the whole pile of boxes were sold un-
til there wasn't another one left
The hunt for partners or for the
ladies who prepared the boxes did
not take long. ALI enjoyed this part
of the entertainment and at the con-
clusion of the supper Con account of
the crowded condition of the room, }
the program was cancelled and all
entered into ''party plays and
games as best they could, to make
the evening enjoyable.
When this began to drag, a pre-
MUM for the most popular young
lady was brought out to be voted on
and at its final count Miss Belle Shaw
had by tar the most votes and re-
ceived the award with becoming dig
nifty. The treasurer counted the pro-
ceeds for the evening and found S26
in the loving cup. 1t was indeed a
surprise to everyone present to think
