Friday nights dance was plan ned and carried out solely by the young ladies of the younger society set, and they alone, unaided. attended to every detail Of the delightful event and that they succeeded even beyond their most sanguine expectations, is putting it mildly.
 Handy's band of Memphis, was en- gagged to furnish the music for the occasion, and to it's sweet strains the merry company danced until the pro verbal wee sma' hours-eyen until daylight did appear, or nearly so. and the last numbers were danced with as much vlgor grace and enjoyment as were the hrst, and the strains Of the concluding nun Der brought bangs of regret that the dance could not 70 on Tor another hour or two.

 The girls had decorated the build ing simply but very prettily with honey lsuckle vine, and all during the evening punch was daintily served by little Misses Carrie Evans and Marie Pettus, and al midnight luncheon course of various kinds of sandwiches We're served Mss Elizabeth Davis 0i1ieiated behind the whistle, during the evening, and iH this capacity did her tQ3 share towards making the affair lAe cAafming success that it Was
 The only disappointing feature about the anaIr was the non-arrivai Of the northbound Iron Mountain train. Oh which were number or guests from Helena, LeXa. Marianna and Haynes This train was caught be- hind freight wreck this side of Mari anna, and delayed until nearly o'clock. The visitors all appeared at the dance. however, and though somewhat late, enjoyed 10 the fullest extent the pleasures of the dance for the few hours that were left.
 \ pleasing feature of the affair was brought to light when the young la dies finance committee in settling up accounts found they had a small balance. after paving al expenses With eommendahle public spirited ness aud showing generosity that we would like 10 see emulated, the girls hurried 10 Harry Knight and turnsd over the surplus to him 10 be turned into the Eiks Home fund. and said fund is richer by-guess how much.
 Taken all in all, the affair was most delightful one, and too much could not be said in praise of the charming young women who originat- ed and carried out the plan. The pleasures of that evening will live long in the memories of those who were so fortunate as to attend, and the promoters are being amply repaid for the time and trouble it cost them in the words of congratulation they ate receiving upon it's successful out come.
