CATHOLIC LADIES TO
DANCE IN CALICO.
Subscribe TO Raise IS for the Church
Fund-NoyeI Plan Is Adopted.

The committee of four ladies of the
Catholic church composed of Mesdames
August Kinkle and M. Charlton, and
Misses Francis Patton and Higgins, are
preparing a big time for the calico
dance, which will be given in Assem-
bly, hall on Jan. 1S. Each lady of the
church is required to raise IS in some
manner which will go towards the
church fund.
The chief features of the dance is
that each lady attending the dance will
be required to be dressed in a Gallo
dress and a fine will be imposed on all
those who attempt to come in jeweIry
or any other finery.
A judge will be present and a mock
trial will take place and it is thought
that few will escape the stern hand
of the law.
