THE MONTH SOCIALLY.
Mrs. Dayton Virgil Archbold 8

la small luncheon In honor OF Mrs.
Charles Johnson the first of the
month, that was attended with feel
ing of both satisfaction and regret.
Mrs. Johnson lived in Blackfoot for
about seven years previous to re-
moving to Wardner something over
year ago. At the time of removal
they sold their town property, but
still kept ranch. across the river, to
which they returned this spring and
remained until sale was effected
some weeks ago. At the time the
family left for their new home. the
ladies' of the town showed their APP
probation of the active part Mrs.
Johnson had taken in club, social and
lodge affairs, by giving several social
affairs in her honor, at the same time
feeling there was possible chance
that she would return to make her
home on the ranch.
But now she is gone to make her
future home elsewhere, and for this
treason, while 1t was pleasure and
satisfaction to meet Mrs. Johnson
again, review pleasant features Of the
past and take friendly interest in her
plans for the future, the guests felt
this was a goodbye for keeps" I'M
less they could accept her cordial in
yitation to visit her In North Idaho.
Mrs. Archbold served nicely pre-
pared luncheon, all her own, which
proves that ardent music lovers can
be practical home-makers as well.
The guests were Mesdames Ryan,
Biethan, Hoover, Sill. Christy, Fish
er, Cherry, Trego, who, with the
guest of honor and Mrs. Archbold,
just filled the pretty dining room ia
BILE. Mrs. Ryan had just returned
from trip through North Idaho that
| had been source of delight. She
visited the Banharts who used to live
in Blackfoot, and reports them hap
PLY situated in both home and social
circles. They are very much pleased
with Spokane, but have not forgotten
former friends in Blackfoot,. and
wished to be remembered to all OF
them. Mrs. Barnhart gave social
afternoon in honor of Mrs. Ryan. Dur
ing an intermission in all this pleas
ant chat, Mrs. Archbold gave piano
selections, and Mrs. Ryan recited
THE Norman" both Of which added
to the pleasure of the afternoon.
Prof. and Mrs. McComb are prov
ing their interest in our schools So
cially, as well as the every day ac-
tivity necessary in educational work.
They gave pretty reception to fac
ulty and official board at their home
on Shillings avenue, which was well
attended and heartily appreciated.
The McCombs make entertaining a
system as well as an art Every
thing is properly planned and care
fully arranged SO that when the time
arrives affairs move on with happy,
even trend that makes the guest feel
the whole was just happening OF
pleasures that were sent from some
unknown source. We are glad to
have Prof. and Mrs. McComb with
us.
i The Current Event Club further
emphasized the welcome accorded
our public school teachers by giving
the usual annual public reception to
Introduce teachers and patrons at Odd
Fellows hall. 1t was largely attend
ed, by parents especially. The hall
was ornamented with well arranged
arch of sweet peas and numerous sim
gle bouquets Punch and waters were
served. The Current Event has
adopted this public reception for the
last three years. 1t is the only pub
liic affair they give during the year
and they strive to make 1t as near
universal with our town as possible,
bringing out the part that patron and
teacher are both benefited by hear
/ ty hand-shake and personal acquaint-
ance. We hope this custom the cub
has adopted will continue.
