The following are some of the so.
cial events scheduled for this week:
Last evening there was q pretty dane
ing narty at the Armory, when the
young people OF the city gathered to
dance some of the new dances taught
them by Prof. Ryan. O'Conn0r's Big
Four played for the occasion and there
was a good attendance. Tonight the
Sons OF Norway supper, program and
dance will take place at the Armory,
and there is no doubt about the at
tendance at this splendid function. Fri
day night, the Knight Templar ball
will be given at the Armory, when o.
Conor's orchestra will be augmented
to ten pieces, and every appointment
will. be so perfect that the evening
will he one of delight to all the guests.
On Saturday evening the Happy Hand
Full always give one of their dances
at the Armory, and this will conclude
the series of dances for the week. The
Lenten season begins SO early this
year, that It seems February 9Th is
here, almost before the happy social
set is aware of it, but while there will
be a few weeks Of quiet, the social
whirl will be all the gay when
Easter Monday comes, which Is always
celebrated with a big ball.
