| ladies to help them celebrate the inaa
guration OF their newly elected ofd
GERS. The social session was decroed
by the powers that be, to begin at
$3.50. and the lodge meeting put for,
ward an hour or so, so that the guests
should not be kept waiting.

in order to provide an opportunity 10
the shy bachelors of the order to CON
verse with the marriageable lad.t<.
present, as well as to cultivate the
conversational ability of the married
men, who are SO slow of speech as to =,
be at disadvantage In a maritaf con. '
troversy.
An informal program followed the
conversation bee. This consisted OF
short speeches in dialect, by distin.
guished representatives of foreign na-
lions; Germany, Ireland and other Ell
ropean countries, being among the
number. The program also contained
several musical numbers, both vocal
and instrumental. which it is needless

Refreshments were served during
the evening, and this was part Of
the program that needed no interpre
ter. Coffee and cake and all the trim
mings needed no introduction to a rep
resentative Durango gathering. The
guests have met them before. and I'M

they don't need to be translated in or
der to be understood. ~
After the refreshments, the party
danced until late hour. About thirty
