The Apron Social, given by the
Ladies' Aid of the Baptist church last
Tuesday evening at the Hotel Fenwick,
was a pleasing success. There were
about one hundred and four persons
present and everyone brought an apron
as the price of admission. This apron
was worn during the evening by the
person bringing it, whether gentleman
or lady. A musical progfam had been
planned but the young folks got inter-
ested in parlor games and gave no
thought to anything else. Neverthe-
less, a reading was rendered by Miss
Vierick and a piano solo by Miss Jessie
Eldredge. During the evening several
young ladies dressed up to represent
Martha Washington and lent some
color to the affair. Before the social
broke up cake and ice cream were served
to all present.
