tango tea" given by Miss Evans. He
also included the name of young
lady visiting in town aS taking part |
in the affair He meant no harm, but |
since the item was published. has |
learned that things appear different |
ly when printed in a newspaper for |
public reading and he asks The Ban
ner to state that the item was not |
true. that the affair wasn't a tango |
tea" or a dance or tea of any sort,
but merely a run-together of young |
people for an hour or two and that |
Miss Nisley did not sing or play or
take any part in the festivity. eX
cept as a guest of the other girls

matter more seriously than II really

through the columns of a newspaper.
