gave a whist social and dance 9t its
hall in the Schleischer building, Pasa-
dena avenue, East Los Angeles which
was one of the best attended events or
the kind ever given by the court. A suf-

so that all who desired could indulge In
whist, while those who favored dancing
were also well taken care of by the COM
mittee having the affair in charge. The
hall, which is one of the most spacious
lodge rooms in the city, was well filled
with players and dancers and all seemed
to enjoy themselves to the limit. The
whist tables were placed along the two
sides and one end of the room, while the
center of the floor was given over to
those participating in the dance. Only
two prizes for the whist players were
furnished by the committee; first and a
'booby" prize. Refreshments consisting
of ice cream, cake and fruits were fur
nished at the close of the entertainment.
