AN Old TINE TREAT.

On Wednesday afternoon of
this week the ladies Aid of the
M. r. Church enjoyed an unusu-
al program at the home of Mrs.
H. D. Massingham, who was as
sisted as hostess by Mrs. Lien
and Mrs. Ingersoll.
The chief interest of the &C.
casion was the fact that the en-
tire program was given by elder
ly ladies.
The program vas opened by
prayer by Mrs. Maydole, follow
ed by the reading of the twenty
third psalm by Mrs. Hart, Mrs.
Pollyjack recited a poem in her
own Language (the Danish), Mrs.
Thomas Nay read a very interes-
ing original poem descriptive of
her life in South Dakota in the
earlier days and Mrs. Oliver
sang a song which was much en-
joyed.
It is safe to say that no pro-
gram given by the younger mem
be,s Of the Aid, would have been
received with such general in
terest.
After the program Mrs. Myers
was presented with souvenier
spoon in neat presentation
speech by Mrs j. A. McKeever.
A dainty luncheon was then SER
we'd by the hostesses.

city was originally founded by
