The dance of the Knights of Column
bus at Turner Hall Wednesday evening
Isl. Valentines Day. was pretty
social event. The lounging room OF
the hall had been decorated with X. G..
,pennants for the occasion. About %
couples we're present intent on having
a good time and they succeeded in!that
most admirably. Quite few knights
and their ladies from St. Peter, Man
kato and other nearby cities attended
this function. A sumptuous supper
was served by the Ladies' Society OF
the New Ulm Turnverein.

OF the latter. Nearly seventy guests
were present and each guest was re-

materials furnished by the hostesses.

white cupids and hearts and arrows.
The guests we're also furnished with
paper and pencils and asked to esti-

decorations. Mrs. A. w. Bingham

u Merry Birds" and ''Voices OF the
Woods" Mrs. C. w. Miller played
"Marche Mignonne" and responded
TO an Moore with Chopin's 'Valse in E
Minor" Other musical selections we're

The lizard Time Party" at Turner
Hall last Thursday was, from all
accounts, the most enjoyable affair OF
the season. That is saying consider.

times at Turner Hall since the new
Club Rooms we're opened at Thanks

the lack of the necessity of appearing
In fine raiment was the chief contribute

evening. Each one knew he couldn't

look old.fashioned rather than shah

stamped the affair for what It was and
some Of the effects produced we're
really clever. Miss Helen Engel 10
