LEAP YEAR PARTY
Mrs. F. L. Shuman Names Aides
for Big Commercial Club
Function. "

Dark and dire plots affecting the
male portion of Bismarcks population
We're laid at the Commercial club, yes
terday, when the general committee
which will have charge Of the quadri-
ennial Leap Year dance assembled
and formulated it's plans for the big
event. Only one man was admitted,
very briefly, to the secret session,
and, as he is a benedict, it has been
impossible to worm any of the secrets
from him. There is only one way Of
finding out just what was done yester'
day, the ladies announce, and that is
by attending the Leap Year ball, and
the only way in which a mere man
kmay gRinsadmittance to the Leap
Year ball is through the invitation
and escort of a lady citizeness.

chairman of the general committee at
luncheon yesterday, has named the

The Ladies' Turn
1t is to be, SO goes the announce
ment, strictly Leap Year party. The
ladies will do the inviting, the escort
ing, and, incidentally, the paying. A
specific charge will be made for extra
men, and for men without escorts.
| Any one. of the several hundred good
male citizens who are members in the
Commercial club are eligible to, at
| tend, if invited. Whether ladies will
be permitted to invite their husbands
is a question yet in debate, but it is
probable that the ruling will be that
the husband may be included as an
extra man." where he failed to pro-
cure an invitation from some other
source. 4. az
~ The floor management will be in
charge of the ladies, who state that
they intend to show the sterner sex
how such things should be, done. They
promise to exert every effort to re-
lieve their guests from the torture of
wall-floWerdom. Of course, the ladies
will naturally have the privilege of
| leaving the floor between dances, to
chew friendly stick Of gum in the
ante-rooms, or TO try round at bill
lizards, and they may, without the
least intent in the world, cut an oc-
casional dance, or two, but the men,
will understand
unusual Features.
Unusual features, it is limited. are
to mark this last and most brilliant of
the Commercial club parties for the
season. The makeup of the general
committee and of the various sub-com-
mittees assures something out of the
ordinary in the way of entertainment.
and the ladies are entering into the
plans with a spirit which guarantees
success.
To Fortify The System Against Grip.
When Grip is prevalent LAXATIVE
BROMO QUININE should be taken,
as this combination of Quinine with
other ingredients, destroys germs,
acts as a Tonic and Laxative and
thus keeps the system in condition to
Withstand Colds, Grip and Influenza.
There is only one "BROMO QUI-
NINE" E. w. GROVES signature
on box. Csc.
