were exceedingly attractive, done in
trailing vines, pine bougas and the
stars and stripes of our country.
The tables, laden with dainty and
bright colored fayors, added greatly
to the charm of the dance hall, and
were especially suited to the figures
which were arranged by Miss Nc
CroSsen. They were presided over by
Mrs. G. B. Bird, Mrs. D. G. Everest,
Miss Ruth Kreutzer, and Mr.. Perry
Wilson.
The grand march which was led by
Miss McCrossen and Mr.. Jack Burt.
started at promptly s O'Clock after
which all took their seats for the
cotillion. Twelve figures were danced.
The Arch, Umbrella, Flowers, Muff !
and Balls and Driving figures were
the most attractive ones. Especially
the driving figure, in which four
gentlemen harnessed by ribbon, driven
by ladies wearing jockey caps and
carrying whips, or vice-versa, provoked |
much merriment, for the drivers we're
led q merry chase around the hall.
Previous TO the last figure, the |
dancers were called to an ornament in |
the center of the hall attached to the |
ceiling from which hung many cardinal ],
ribbons. Each were given the end of |
one of the ribbons and when the sig |
nal was given there was one united |
pull which opened the paper bottom |
and profusion of roses and crysan-
themdms fell to the floor. The former
were for the ladies and the latter for
the gentlemen. Partners were found |
by corresponding numbers on the
flowers. On request, Miss McCrossen
and Mr.. Burt gave several demonstrat-
ing dances.
The cotillion closed with the supper
figure which was very attractive and
unique. The leader, Miss McCrossen,
and her partner, Mr.. Burt, started
the waltz alone; they beckoned to an
other couple who in turn did the
same to another and So on, until all
were on the floor; then a grand chain
was formed and by them all were led
in various figures in and out, down to
the supper room where simple but
most delicious repast was served, at
the conclusion of which G. B. Bird
took occasion in behalf of the club, to
thank the ladies who had the arrange
nents in charge and who had afforded
che dancing classes so much pleasure
and TO Miss McCrossen and Mr.. Burt
for their untiring efforts in making
the cotillion a success. Those pres

Miss Ruth KreutZer entertained the |
Friday Evening Whist club at a six |
O'Clock dinner, followed oy auction |
bridge, in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Wilson, of Wardner, B. c., on Friday
evening. There were twenty-four
young people present. The decora-
tions were in keeping with the season
CLOSE on to Washington's birthday,
and were very delightfully."- artistic.
| The guests were seated at small tables
conta lining four covers each. The
menu was served seriatum, and at
each course the two gentlemen pro-
crossed to the next table, which added
much to the sociability of the eve
ming. Bridge whist followed until
late hour. Fayors we're awarded for
highest scores to Miss Cornelia Nc
Crossen and E. G. Dawley, and to the
guests of honor. The occasion was a
very enjoyable one.

the Ladies' Aid society of the MethoS
dist church in the dining room of the

prettily decorated with American
flags and hatchets, suggesting Wash

served were dressed as Martha Wash
| ington. The ladies in their quaint
colonial costumes added much to the
appearance of the room. Although
the crowd was not as large as usual
on account of the bad weather, the
supper was success in every way.
