Of the hundred and fifty who regis
tered were many visitors from other

All entered into the spirit of the even
ing and many jests and laughs were en-

At eight thirty the guests were invit-
ed to be seated on the front lawn, where
lights had been placed, and splendid
program was carried out as follows:
Address of welcome - Mrs. S. A.
Brown. In this Mrs. Brown called the
special attention of the ladies present to
the splendid new styles presented, just
imported from Paris, France, for their
inspection, and while she did not ap-
prove of having sewing done away from
home, suggested that many of the dresses
might be copied and trade kept at home.
Response-Mrs. W. D. Harrison.
Duet-Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, &C
companied by Mrs. Dickson on the
guitar.
Reading-Miss Nina White, "Why
Don't the Girls Propose?" Re
ceived such a hearty encore she con-
sented to give another. This was
scream and was greatly enjoyed by
all.
Reading-Bro. Drake, won a great
hit and cause some of the newest
costumes to bein danger of losing
their fit and style.
Next came the choir, directed by
Senior Palagra, otherwise known as
Duncan Harrison. Under his di-
rection was given the latest music.
First, my Bonnie Lies Over the
Ocean" was rendered in such
touching manner that one member
of the choir was overcome with grief
and rent the air with walls at the
thought of the sad death of the
famous Bonnie. Second, duet, BILLY
Boy" by Mr.. and Mrs. Higlebottom,
known at home as Mr.. and Mrs.
Pink Marshall. Third, solo by Miss
Alice Nielsen Barksdale. Fourth,
duet by Queen Singorito and Don
Olongo, Mrs. Clarence Clogs and
Bro. Drake, in a beautiful little |
song entitled "The Green Grass
Grows all Round" Senior Palagra
received many compliments on the
splendid talent displayed by his
choir, which was easily the event of
the evening.
Reading by Mrs. Clarence Clogs
given backwards.
Solo-Laughing Song, Mrs. Dick
son, brought laugh from all as
did one by Mr.. Dickson in which he
brought out witty rhyme about most
of the male members of the church.
Without these two who so willingly
helped us thruout the whole pro-
gram, the entertainment would have
been a failure.
Mrs. Drake, Miss Maude Fullerton
and Miss Minnie Barksdale favored
is with some appropriate readings
which ended the program after
which guests were served with ice
,ream and cake.
Those deserving honorable men
ton for costume or makeup were ,
Mr.. John Dahnke, who was the fat
nan, and good one Duncan Har-
'ison, foreign music director, Mr.
Tohn Clayton, the bashful waiting
BOY, Mrs. Clarence Clogs, Mrs. Sam
3rummel and Mrs. Clayton. There
we're many others, but lack of space
revents \further mention.
The guests were loud in their
raise of the delightful meeting,
many declaring they had had a dol
ars worth of fun. Thanking the
ladies' Aid Society, Mr.. and Mrs.
loss and wishing someone would
ave another tacky party soon. The
bject was not money, but a good
inc to all.
