ALL ARE CORDIALLY INVITED
TO ATTEND LIBRARY BALL
No Invitations nor Dress Suits
Needed in Order to Enjoy
This Party.
ALL In READINESS FOR FETE

You and all your friends are invited
TO come 10 the Amphidrome han I'm
Houghton tomorrow night and make
merry at the first annual Houghton
Public library ball. No other invita-
ton than the above is needed to gain
admittance TO the hall. and contrary
to the opinion held by many. the af-
| fair of tomorrow evening is an en-
entirely informal affair.
Perhaps you do not dance. That
makes no difference-you win get the
worth of your money any way you
| figure il. as the program of music that
is To be rendered by the Calumet and
Hecla orchestra will constitute a
splendid concert and while listening
to this concert you can see the dane
ers on the floor INDUCING their terp-
sicorian fancies with the rhyme OF the
dreamy waltz and the more sprightly
two-step In addition TO this portion
Of the program there is another part
Of the evenings entertainment that
will interest every person attending,
the splendid supper that is to be serv-
ed under the direction of the refresh
ment committee consisting OF fourteen
Of the finest ladies of the village.
How Money Will Be Spent.
If there is anyone who does not lin-
derstand the purpose for which the IL
brary ball is being given. now is the
time to be advised. The entertain
ment has been arranged in order to
raise a sum OF money with which TO
make more beautiful the premises sur
rounding the beautiful new library
building Just how badly in need of
identifying these premises are is
readily seen when one approaches the
institution. There is no lawn or any
blade of grass To relieve the barren
aspect of the lot upon which the
building stands. The structure itself
is a handsome one and would readily |
lend itself to any scheme for the i'm
proving OF the surroundings and the |
inside OF the building is well arranged |
and comfortable-so comparable, in
fact. that one Is loath to leave it's in
ticing precincts.
II is the idea and aim of the library |
mana cement to raise a fund sufii- |
GENTLY large by means of this dancing |
party to cover the expense of making |
the surroundings of the building as
beautiful and cheerful as is the inside |
of the structure This is matter that |
should be OF interest to every Hough- |
ton resident, as the library is an insti- |
tuition patronized by the entire peo-
pie, and every person who possibly can
should purchase a ticket to the library |
ball whether he attends or not. If il |
should turn out that so much money is
made from the ball that there is
surplus when the work upon the lawns
and surroundings II the building has
been completed, the balance of the
fund will 0e devoted 10 getting books
for the children's department of the
library than which no other section is
better patronized nor with as much
apparent interest and pleasure. 1t is
doubtful If the latest ''best seller in
the fiction department is in as great
demand as is ''The Hole Book" or
"The Kite Book"
Special Train Service.
For the people from other parts of
the county who will come to the ball
special arrangements for train service
after the dance have been made max
ing it possible for them to enjoy the
affair 10 the fullest. A special Calu-
met car will leave Houghton just after
the last dance for the benefit of those
who are TO come from that section OF
the county and II is thought there viii
be nearly hundred people down from
the northern portion OF the county.
The management of the Copper
Range railroad has decided to hold the
train which usually leaves Houghton
at il o'clock for Painesdale and inter
mediate points until half past the
hour, which will give the dancers from
the points along the range an oppor-
tunity 10 dance almost all Of the pro-
gram and partake OF the good sup
per before leaving TO catch their train
