THE MONTH SOCIALLY.

Unusual activity among the social
ly inclined last month, together with
the Lenten season, which is faith
fully observed by the Catholic and
Episcopal churches of our town,
have caused a pause in gay gather
ings. There have been a few quiet
afternoons and evenings with init
mate friends and acquaintance.
Music lovers had Mr.. Rowdon and
Miss Terry at their homes during
their stay here. The churches have
had public dinners and Lenten teas
according to the mind Of the church.
The really pretty affair Of the month
however, was given by the Hello
girls" Of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Company last Tuesday
night There we're four names
mentioned on the attractive invita-
tions which carried long distance
phone. Misses Grace G.. Cherry,
Rose Lusher, Emma Killian and Lou
Richards. Progress hall never APP
peared in quite such suggestive deco
rations. The telephone colors, blue
and white, ere.beautifully arranged
in design that carried. out the bell
idea to perfection. The guest was
greeted with a CHEEKY Hello In
large blue letters Immediately upon
entering the room, while blue electric
lights added to the attractive card
and punch bowl corner Of the room
The barren dance hall idea was en-
tirely overcome by the coy home
like touch the girls had succeeded IN
giving the entire space. even the
dance floor being oyerhung with
drapings of blue and white. The
dance programs we're blue bells. i
was indeed glad merry evening
which the many friends Of the girls
enjoyed.

METHODIST GRATITUDE AGAIN.

METHODIST GRATITUDE AGAIN.
When the rain came pouring down
last Wednesday afternoon, about the
time the ladies were gathering their
nicely cooked food in the v. /, s.
club rooms for the chicken pie din
ner, that had been announced for
half after five, they had the blues a
little over the glowing prospects.
When the heavy clouds rifted later
on they began to cheer up and make
the tables look inviting. Then the
sun played a peek-a-boo game that
brought all sorts of smiles 70 the
ladies and such crowd Of hungry
people. the problem OF serving them
caused another source Of anxiety, but
the walters were swift and the guests
patient until all were made content
and sent home happy, leaving the
generous sum of $41 with the treas
urer. That means about 100 came
out through the inclement weather.
The ladies say for us to tell the
public they are very grateful indeed,
and hope all will enjoy the improve
ments under way in the church, for
which this money will be expended.
Another dinner will be given the
fourth Wednesday in April.

Curious Mourning Custom.

A curious mourning custom obtains
among central Australians. who. al.

beings, have managed 10 evolve a most
complex system of rites and ceremo.

tion Of their lives. When a husband
dies, the widow paints herself all over
with white pigment, and for the space
OF year must not exhibit herself TO a
male member of the tribe on. pain of

Tunes was snoring contentedly, his
shoulder against tie wall. Kollmeyer
shook him, but Tunes did not wake.

asking where he was.
Didn't you take poison?" he was
asked.
No. said Tunes. I've been walk
ing good deal to-day and I'm just
tired and sleepy.
Then he lay down again and took
another little snooze on the operating
table, but soon woke up and said he
guessed he would go home. DIR. Bles.
barth pronounced him only sleepy and
he was released.
Al 9:l0 p. m. Henry Ganter, a night
watchman, found Tunes in the pond
The sleeper couldn't have been rest.
