California homestead No. 1876 showed
plainly last Friday evening that she
was a royal entertainer. The main
issue of this event was what is in the
basket There were baskets filled with
dainties and everything good to eat,
and they were of all colors OF the rain
how. shapes and makes. One basket
was representation of Noah's ark,
but after the contents had been de-
youred it looked like "cyclone" and
not a food that had struck it. Free
mont Scott was the official auctioneer
and IL he could sell real estate, chicken
ranches and eastoff clothing like he
sold those baskets, why he would not
have to work for many days to come.
Baskets brought anything from 30
cents to $685. A beautiful and lavishly
decorated basket presented by Miss
Florence Gray brought $780, Mr.. Nc
Murter being the successful bidder.
Miss Gray is one of California home
stead's most popular young ladies, and
as her basket received the highest bid
she was the recipient of an order for
a So pair of shoes on James P. Burns,
the shoeman. Hot coffee was served
with the lunches and after the best OF
the contents of each basket had been
consumed as far as eatables were con-
cerned all attention was given to dane
ing, which occupied the remaining part
of the evening. On February 10 hard
time social will be next in order, and
the leading feature of this will be sew
era1 calsewalks. One in particular will
be interesting, given by a lady and
gentleman, aged respectively Sc and Sc
years. Pretty old birds for this kind
of dancing. but they claim to under
stand their business and are going in
to win the grand prize. There will be
prizes given for several other cake
walks.
Poinsettia homestead No. 1885, Broth
erhood of American Yeomen, gave their
second open meeting in Mammoth hall
last Saturday evening, February 1. A
short program was arranged and light
refreshments were served. The balance
of the evening was spent in tripping
the light fantastic. AS usual, the hall
was filled with guests, who all pro-
nounced the evening as being a most
enjoyable one.

the reputation of being the liveliest and
most sociable order on the coast--a
reputation which she we'll deserves.

porarily in Indy hail. 1906 South Main
street, on Saturday evenings. Mem
