 BASKET SHADOW SOCIAL - A basket-shadow social will be held at the Creighton schoolhouse on Friday night, to which the whole world Is in vited. There will be something of a novelty in the disposing of the baskets that will appeal to all gentlemen whose speculative instincts are well developed Instead of buying the baskets and talk ing chances on what's in them, or buy ing the girl with a basket thrown in, as is sometimes done. the gentlemen will have to bid on the shadows of the respective young ladies, thrown on canvas, and take a chance on both the girl and her basket This is really a blooded game and is designed to arouse interest.
