CLUBS And SOCIETY
Various Happy Occasions Among
Town and Country Folk.

On Saturday evening, Oct 10, 1912,
the members of the .'Doings of DOE.
len" met at the eozy home of r. H.
Barnes. near 0livet, in regular meet
ling. The entire membership was
represented with the exception of one
family, whose presence was greatly
missed. A number of invited guests
were also present and added to the
Isociability and pleasure of the occa-
sion. A number of pleasing contests
were held for the younger members,
as well as for those more sedate and
sober. The report of the committee,
on which lady most nearly guessed
the weight of the mammoth pumpkin,
perhaps caused the most merriment
The yelled lady, Aunt Sally" answer
ing questions, both political and per-
sonal, made things interesting. when
the dainty two-course lunch was serv-
ed the company impersonated, distin-
guished characters and the occasion
suddenly became a noted gathering,
as great men and their wives luncheu
together. Perhaps the table sur
rounded by Brigham Young and his
family attracted the most notice. A
basket of perfect apples and glass Of
cider put everyone in even better spir-
its. Some of the good music the club
can produce was furnished to the
pleasure of all. The readings by Miss
Mary Barnes and the violin solos by
Mr.. Henry were especially enjoyed.
Before anyone realized the fight of
time the midnight hour had drawn
near. After few announcements the
and impressively sang their parting
song, God be With You till we Meet
Again" The company went home in
the beautiful October moonlight
knowing that the meeting with neigh
bors and friends and the events OF
the interesting evening would be
happy memory.
