SOCIAL GATHERINGS

5OClAL VA T1EIl1NUO
With Christmas cheer, gaiety and
happiness prevailing, the elaborate
dance given last evening at the Elk's
club by a committee composed OF
Messrs. Harry Shaw, Earl Kessler and
Harry Hates, was one of the most
charming social functions ever given
under the auspices of the fraternity.
1t is estimated that two hundred
people enjoyed the hospitality of this
popular organization.
The club house was beautifully dec
GRATED with Christmas greens. Holly
wreaths and Christmas bells were in
evidence. Members of the social COM
mittee with several lodge members
were in the receiving line. The dance
hall which is on the third floor was
artistically decorated. From the beams
were strands of evergreen and Christ
mas bells. In the center was a star
lighted by electricity. The orchestra
was stationed at one corner of the
room beneath a canopy of red and
green paper ribbons. Branches of hol-
ly were also placed at various inter
walls about the hall. Here and there
were Christmas boxes filled with all
kinds of good things to eat, including
CONNECTIONS and fruits of the season.
The idea was novel and very attrac-
tive. The baskets were arranged with
paper napkins done in the red and
green. Punch was served throughout
the evening
The orchestra was composed OF
Messrs. Norman Brown, piano, John
Akin, drums, Fred Mkesell, Henry
Runge, Walter Runge, members of the
Runge orchestra, in addition to HUI
bert Smith of Chicago, cellist and a
musician of remarkable ability. The
numbers were interspersed by songs
given by Mr.. Benton Barlow, a cabaret
singer. Mr. Barlow was applauded
many times.
Dancing began at $3.50 o'clock and
was continued until o'clock. There
were many guests from without the
city in attendance. Many pretty even
ing gowns were in evidence. Every
where the holiday spirit was prevalent.
The tango, hesitation waltz, Spanish
waltz, the butterfly and several of the
other new dances were enjoyed by the
guests At II o'clock the guests were
invited downstairs where an elegant
turkey supper was served. Some of the
