Covered Dish Party = Pleasant
thoughts flashed through the minds
of nineteen young ladies on Tues
; day evening when the covers were
lifted from hidden viands which their
hands had prepared. Appetites whet-
ted on wondering anticipation greeted
the revelation Of banquet so COM
plete as to leave nothing more to be
desired. The occasion was the regu-
lar meeting of the Young Woman s
club, with the Misses Macdonald,
Cartwright, Sheridan and Rossiter as
hostesses. After dinner the evening
was given over to merriment, while
needles and crochet hooks flew in and
out of dainty fancy work. A humor-
GUS reading by Miss Mary Irwin and
vocal music by Miss Gladys Cart
wright and Miss Gertrude Irwin add
ed much to the enjoyment of the
evening. A canvass of the member
ship having shown Monday evening
to be more generally convenient than
Tuesday, it was decided to hold the
club meetings hereafter on the sec
ond and fourth Mondays in each
month. The young ladies have built
verse about the ideas of their or
ganization and the following very well
serves as definition:
We are all fond of poetry, music and
art;
Our consciences follow with more or
less heart;
We cherish our friends; we take coun-
sci from books;
And re all of us glad we have
learned to be cooks.
Reception-The teachers of the Dal-
las schools entertained their col
leagues, who are attending the insti-
tute here this week, at an informal
reception ON Wednesday evening at
the library. The hall was prettily
decorated with flowers and potted
plants and Indian cozy corners were
arranged on all sides of the room. A
program of music and entertainment
served to make the evening a pleasant
one. Prof. w. I. Ford delivered an
address of welcome to which County
Superintendent Seymour responded
and several guests made brief Lalks.
Punch was served during the evening.
The meeting ended with burst of
enthusiasm that produced school songs
and yells. The Representatives of each
community gathered together to outdo
one another in the volume of their
school yells. The evening was infor-
NAL and the guests mingled freely and
pleasantly with their hosts and host
esses.
