lied a basket ball team and went forth
10 conquer. Dietrich fell an easy vic
tim to the Besslen girls science. and
the latter as easy to the prowess of

"a regular business dance for the pur-
pose of raising a little money for the
girls Tickets will be sold at dollar
each, and every one investing will
long the girls and having world of
pleasure besides.
But speaking of dances. that was
fine affair they had at the Dietrich no.
tel on Thanksgiving night. There was
a good deal of business in this one too.
The spirit of the affair was the doing
of good for the Red Cross. Many of
the ladies had made useful articles
of handicraft that were 40 be sold at
the dance and the proceeds given to
that benevolent institution. AS a re-
suit of this bit of financeering about
fifty dollars was turned over TO this
great patriotic work, after paying all
the expenses of Ithe entertainment
And we imagine that when little re-
lief comes to a suffering soldier in the
trenches as refreshing as a drop of wa
ter on the parched tongue. he will not
object because a dance furnished that
bit of relief.
