gram of the annual Ladies' Night of
the Harrisburg Rotary Club last even
ing and it was carried out in every
feature of the elaborate and delightful
entertainment, which was. by the way,
the most successful in the clubs long
history of such affairs.
The dinner, with which the evening
began, was served at $50 in the ban
quet hall of the Masonic Temple. The
big room was decorated in red, white
and blue. Hundreds of flags were fes-
tooned and draped about the walls and
hung from the ceiling. In front was
an elevated stage, directly behind the
speakers table screened from the view
of the diners by immense American
flags as curtains. At a proper time,
to the tune of the star Spangled Ban
ner" and the cheers of the guests these
curtains were swung aside, revealing a
beautiful figure of Betsey Ross in the
act of making the first American flag
The scene was worked out from a ia
nous historical painting and formed the
central figure of the decorative scheme.
The dinner hats of the guests were
All III Ieu, WHITE ana Dlue, as were the
table decorations, while hundreds of
red. white and blue balloons filed with
illuminating gas floated above the ta-
bles half way between floor and cell
ing.

Captain George L. Lumb in the name
of the guests, presented President Fry
with very, very large watch (not
gold) suspended from a very, very
heavy chain (also not gold) to which
was attached very, very big potato
Gall gold.) Mr. Fry said he was very,
very thankful. but if the committee
didn't mind would it take back the
