Elks' Annual Ball.
Preparations are well under way for
what in all probability will be the
best annual ball the Elks have ever
given. The chairman Of the commit
tee is reluctant to tell all the features
planned as the final details are not
all perfected.
The music and floor are receiving
special attention. Much time has been
spent on arranging for a well appoint
ed orchestra and the music has been
carefully selected. Only the new and
catchy pieces will be used. This will
insure an evening of delightful dances
The committee has plans under way
| for a lunch that will do justice to the
occasion.
The Elks will enjoy themselves on
Friday the sixteenth. Everything in
dicates the committees have left moth
ing undone and that the members will
turn out in goodly numbers to enjoy
the occasion.
The secrecy of the committee indi-
Gates that something can be expected
outside the usual run Of events and
this added attraction will be of inter
| est to those who plan to attend.
