ABSTRACTS OF TITLE
 GIVEN AT SHADOW SOCIAL

The shadow social to be given to- night al the K. of r. hall. as has been explained. is under the direction Of the Rebekah and |. O. Q. r. lodges and the proceeds will go toward the fund to be used in the purchase of q home for the orphans of deceased members of the orders
 While the evening will be divided in two different departments. the program proper and the selling of the boxes and the devouring of the contents found therein, the latter will probably be the feature. and hence gets its name the shadow social. In order that all the rich men in town may not be able to buy the boxes belonging to the most beautiful women and leave the homely ladies for the men who have not been blessed with that filthy lucrc. q plan has been devised which it is believed will euualize these conditions. and al though somewhat d game of chance. ought not to be taboced. The hall will be darkened and the ladies will take their place in the front of the room be- hind a curtain. or probably it would be better to say that the ladies and gen tiemen will first segregate themselves and the room be darkened afterward- the only reason of course for taking this necessary precaution is to avoid any confusion or sectusion that might arise The ladies will step cut from their corner one at q time and stand behind the curtain while q light will be turned on and their shadow thrown f,t. I. fain Ion hn 4 criminating will of course find it neces- sary to adjust their eye glasses repeat edly in order to get at the information as to who's who. but they will always have the consolation that oft times the most homely lady in the house has pre- pared the best food.
 George Mntz of Phoenix has been engaged as auctioneer and committee from the odd Fellows whose wives will have boxes for sale will instruct him to stand out from behind the curtain. This of course so that he may be able to hear the bidding more distinctly and get the most possible from every sale. Then again Mr. MintZ has been se- lected as auctioneer so that d guaran- teed title to everything he sells may be given.
 Frank r. Trott. another well known I. Q. e. F. man from Phocnix is also expected and he will be on the program for an address.
 Aside from the above mentioned gen. tlemen. it is expected that the local members will be able to decide on battery to represent Mesa. Anyway it is practically assured that there will be speech makers enough present to Till in all unsightly gaps and embarrassing silences The program had not been completed yesterday evening, but enough members arc mentioned to show what the entertainment will be like.
 Mrs R. F. Palmer will give a violin solo. Miss MaConahy has consented to sing, and Miss smith of the high school will give one of her popular readings.
 The program will be given first and the sale of the boxes will follow imme- diately The admission will be free and the public is invited.
 It is expected of every lady attending to bring d lunch According to the committee in charge. light lunch put up in q shoe box is all that is desired. Arrangements have been made to have coffee at the hall, which will be served in connection with the cotton batting and sponge cake. two necessary ingre- dients of q dainty light lunch.
