ACTIVITIES IN THE
WOMANS CLUB

The sixth social committee of the
Womans Club entertained the mem
bers of the club and their friends at
the opera house, the evening of
March 18th
Two numerous sketches and a num-
Der of recitations and songs made up
what was most excellent program.
One of the exceptionally pleasing
musical numbers was the Shamrock
Song by Miss Mamie Michels, Illus
trated by two wee girls made up as
Shamrocks.
Master Dyes Introductory was well
delivered and Miss Peterson's solo
was heartily applauded. The Misses
Horning and Buthweg recited and
their selections were appropriate and
showed training.
The CoonCreek Courtship given by
Mesdames Kennedy and Horning was
a most laughable farce which every
one present enjoyed thoroughly.
Then came the Light Brigade" with
Mrs. James Blake in the lead. This
gave the audience a half hour more
of genuine fun for it was funny from
start to finish. The various charac-
tiers were ably interpreted from the
aged grandma to the angel child. The
maiden lady's audacious flirtations
with her admirers in the audience,
created much merriment, and all were
kept busy watching the twins, the
musical daughter and the orator OF
the Light family.
After the program, refreshments
were served and a social time COM
pleted a most successful entertain
ment. 1t was estimated that more
than one hundred and fifty guests en-
joyed the hospitality of the sixth
committee. Jensens Junior Orches-
ira furnished excellent music thro-
out the evening.
Mrs. VIM. Laubender and her
group of capable women, constituting
the seventh division of the Woman's
Club are planning to entertain the
club the last week in April or early
in May. This will be the last of the
special entertainments by committees
but as the club usually finishes their
years work with great picnic, it is
expected that this year will be no eX-
ception to this rule.
Plans for vaudeville entertain
ment to be put on by the entire club
as a money Garner is being planned
The date of this will be given to the
public very soon, also details of the
program.
The next regular meeting of the
Woman's Club is the second Wednes-
day in April. Mrs. Ed Johnson and
Miss Tressa Mcclure will be the lead
ers.
