In Society
Enjoyable Dance
In Honor of Visitors

The dance given by the young
people of the dancing set at Francis
Beach, to the visiting girls, was a
very enjoyable affair, and the de-
lightful informally that marks the
summer function was prevalent at
this jolly gathering.
During the afternoon a swimming
party was formed and the time was
pleasantly occupied with this aqua
tic diversion. A light lunch very
appropriately took up the intermis-
sion and as the evening hours ap-
preached couples sought the excel
lent dancing floor above and "tripped
the light fantastic" for an hour or
two.
Those who enjoyed this affair were
Misses Juliet Gibbons, of Jackson
Vile; Sarah Fraleigh, of Madison,
and Eliza Harrison, of Danville, Va,
the honor guests; Misses Helen Conf
bear, Mary Grower. Florence Conf
bear, Grace Deem, Messrs. William
Sammon, Grady Deem, Clyde Tram
nell, William Pritchett, Orm Robb,
Henry Conibear, Henry Cole and

ELKS PLANNING TO
BUILD FINE HOME
ON Their lot At
AN EARLY DATE
WILL BE HANDSOME THREE
STORY BRICK STRUCTURE, ONE
OF THE FINEST IN THE STATE

Within a short time it is planned
to make a great improvement on the
property adjoining the Auditorium
on the south, and overlooking Lake
Mirror. This property belongs to the
Lakeland Elks, and plans have al
most matured for the erection of a
magnificent building to be used as a
home for this organization.
The building will in all probable
ity be three stories high, and brick
and stone will be the material used
in its construction. The Elks are
determined that there shall be moth
ing handsomer of the kind in the
State, and the building will be such
that Lakeland will be proud of it.
Elegant club rooms, which will be
the center of social enjoyment for
the community, an adequate and well
equipped lodge room, a fine restau-
RANT and dining room, are among
the attractive features contemplated
by the plans.
The Woman's Club have their
building on this property, and it is
probable that sufficient land will be
purchased by them to retain their To-
cation, such an arrangement being
very agreeable to the Elks, as it is
fitting that these two organizations,
which are always so prominent in So
cial activities and other good works,
should be neighbors.

Twenty eight or thirty separate din
ners to be given to total OF $50 men,
all members of the Marshalltown CLUB,
during the next six months, is the first
announcement of the clubs winter
plans. as made today by Secretary
Sidney Johnson. These affairs to be
called community dinners, are each
to be addressed by some speaker who
Will talf UP the particular line of work
in which the committee is interested,
and thus enable the members Of the
committee to get a better knowledge. of
what they can do to help MARSHALL
town.
The first dinner of this kind will be
held at the club Tuesday noon, Oct.
81, when Dr. Charles E. Barker. of
Washington. D. c., will address the
club committee on public health. DR..
Barker is eminently fitted to speak on
such a subject as public health is his
speciality.
Other Dinners to Follow.
While not, all of the committees will
hold separate dinners. most of the
larger ones will have distinct meetings,
at which time a speaker will be Sc
cured who can talk intelligently and
hcipfully on the subject in which the
members. as a committee, are inter-
ested. Ralph Bolton, chairman Of the
Greater Des MoineS Committee, will
probably address the membership COM
mittee on the best way of securing new
members. A special speaker will be
secured for she agricultural committee.
Some of the smaller committees. such
as the house and fellowship will prob
ably meet together. Most of the din
ners will be held in the evening.
Aside from the social phase of this
plan. which will bring club and COM
Inittee members together Secretary
Johnson believes it will accomplish
what has not been accomplished since
the organization of the cfub-the task
of really interesting committee mem
bers in their own particular work.
Previously some of the committees
have not even met more than once or
twice. and the work which they might
have done has consequently been un-
accomplished. With this new plan of
