THE VALENTINE SOCIAL.
An Interesting Program Enjoyed by s
Large Crowd,


Large Crowd.
The Library Association surely
scored another success at it's valen
tine social Thursday evening, given at
Odd Fellows Hall
BY eight O'Clock crowd had assem-
bled which tested the capacity of the
big hall. Hearts were everywhere in
evidence, and hearts were the basis of
all the amusements of the evening.
Soon after the arrival Of the guests,
the Queen of Hearts, most charmingly
represented by Miss Rhea Smith, ap-
peared with little Kenneth March, as
Cupid, in parody on the we'll known
nursery rhyme, 1.-THE Queen of Hearts
Hearts of various colors had previous
ly been hidden in all parts of the hall
Upon the Queens announcement of
"the hunt lively search began, en-
gagged in by both old and young.
When Cupid announced the close of
the contest, Mrs Peirce was found to
be the charmer and received the ladies
prize, a very pretty double heart val
entine, Leonard March following in
close pursuit.
The musical program which followed
was heartily enjoyed. The high school
double QUARTET, which was to have
furnished the opening number, failing
to appear, a "Happy Quintet" of
charming high school girls redeemed
its pledge, and delighted the audience
by singing, ''You Look Awful Good to
Father"
Mr.. Reynard, though struggling
with severe cold, gave the next num-
Der in his usual pleasing style. He
never fails to please Hot Springs au-
dience.
Mrs. Hedrick, who Is not altogether
a stranger to a Hot1 Springs audience,
sang the next number in her cultured,
happy manner, and was heartily en-
cored and called back for the third
song
Following the musical program, a
general social hous was engaged in by
all during which time the sale of pipes
for bubble blowing furnished general
amusement for the children and young
people.
The valentine cake, designed and
furnished by Mrs. G. G. Smith, was
presided over by the Queen of Hearts.
In this was hidden sterling silver
heart, which was artfully captured by
Mrs. a. B. Connor, who was found still
susceptible to Cupid's darts.
The valentine shadows and pinning
the heart in the right place, in which
little Irene Hummel won the prize:
occupied the next hour, during which
time the supper tables were happily
and ably presided over by Mesdames
Gillespie, Reeder, Silkensen and Joyce,
assisted by a quartet of fascinating
young ladies, to all of whom abun
dant credit is due for the very eNcell
ent manner in which they served the
large crowd and for the abundance of
good things which through them the
members of the Library Association
had so generously provided.
The card game of hearts in which
prizes we're won by j. j March and
Mrs. W. S. Bentley, concluded the ev
enipgs entertainment.
The public in general have reason to
be proud of its generous response to
the appeals which have been made by
the Library Association during the
past few months. and this was but
another evidence of its interest in our
library and reading room. Certainly
all seemed united upon its success.
Fifty dollars more we're added to the
library fund Tine library ladies are
especially grateful to Archie Riordan
for freezing the ice cream served at
the social
