cHAMA SOCIETY

Chama is a lively little place. being
the center of railroad activity. and is
a delightful little town to visit. A
sociable spirit prevails that is not
characteristic of larger towns, on ac-
count of dfrerent social conditions. In
Chama every one turns out to every
thing and any public entertainment is
always well patronized.
New Years eve was celebrated by
a grand ball which was not only a
splendid entertainment, but was also
an enjoyable social event-the most
elaborate of the season.
The invitations were in the Elk
colors with purple script on "A white
ground and We're adorned with fine
cut of an elk with spreading antlers
The recipient of the invitations was
informed that the stray Elks corralled
in Chama. N NJ" would celebrate the
advent OF the New Year with com.
plimentary ball.
1t was with eager anticipation that
the invited guests wended their way
to Broads hall Friday evening. and
shortly bewore O'Clock the room was
crowded to Its utmost capacity, mum.

At 3 o'clock the orchestra brought
from TERRA Amarillo for the occasion
struck up the grand march, and the
hosts and their ladies took their places
for the opening number. C. j. Nixon
OF the B. p. 0. f. and Mrs. Richard
House led the march, which contained
some of the prettiest figures II has
ever been our PLEASURE to witness. The
ladies were in brave attire. A great
many handsome and elaborate gowns
were worn. The delicate shades of
the dainty dresses contrasted vividly
with the black and white of the men
and with the decorations, lights and
music made a brilliant picture. es
pecially during the grand march and
fancy dances.
At II o'clock the music stopped
abruptly while waltz was in progress
and H. /. Hail made brief speech in

which he explained the time -honored
custom OF the members of the order
to pause at II O'Clock and for a short
time think OF their absent brothers
whether "on land or sea. or passed
on beyond the Great Divide" The
ceremony which followed the drinking
a toast to the absent ones was very
interesting and impressive.
Just before IL o'clock the swing OF
the music and the rhythmic tread of
hurrying feet was stopped once more
and Mr.. Hall in a few well chosen
words introduced Rev. S. f. Grant,
who made brief address. Rev. Mr..
Grant spoke OF the season and what
II portended, touched in n general way
on the great work benevolent orders
are doing, and paid the "strays" an In.
direct but neat compliment.
