Leap Year Ball
BY special Correspondent.

by special correspondent.
Wednesday evening of this
week the married ladies Of Hope
entertained the married men with
a leap year ball and supper. Ev.
eryone was there from the cou-
pie not yet over their honeymoon
to the old time dancers who had
not been out before for twenty
years.
The ladies turned back the
hands of time to the days of sim
gle blessedness and each one
brought her beau and made it
her particular business to see
that he had the time of his life.
And such time as we had. From
the time that MI. A. E. Warner
and Mrs. F. A. Tillotson marched
down the hall at the head of the
Grand March until in the wee
small hours of the moreing when
the tired but happy crowd trip
ped the light fantastic of the
Home Sweet Home waltz, the Ia
dies kept everything on the move
and %two-steps, waltzes and qua
drilles followed each other in
rapid succession. No time was
wasted and everyone was kept
on the move all the time. Moth
ing was allowed to drag.
At midnight a fine supper was
served by Mrs. G. L. Fronk and
after that the fun began all over
again, the party not breaking up
until all we're ready to stop and
were agreed that they had had
the most enjoyable timei in years.
The ladies are to be congratu-
lated on their success and those
who did not attend have some.
thing to regret the rest of their
days.
The music was furnished by
Carpenters Orchestra and this
organization, by their willingness
to be accommodating, are entitled
to a large share Of praise for the
success of the event. We all hope
this is not the last event of. the
kind this season.
