Made My Dollar" entertainment
and social given by the Ladies'/Aux-
Hilary of the John Street M. e.
church last night was decided sue
cess.
A most interesting entertainment
was furnished by the church choir,
consisting of vocal and instrumental
selections and recitations. These
were of comlcal nature as well as
classic, so that regardless of taste all
present had what they most desired.
At the close of the entertainment
the roll was called and as each mem
ber responded they described In
rhyme how they earned their dollar
1t Is remarkable the number of poets
this developed and the scope of the
imagination covered by some of the
verse. Judges were selected to pass
upon the best piece of poetry. The
honors went to Mrs. Charles Il.
Mason, who told hoy she earned her
dollar kissing her brother-in-law,
pressing her husbands pants ana
brushing Judge Masonss dog, said
dog being quite famous in the vicin-
ity of First street. There is a strong
suspicion that there was q frame
up" in awarding the prize as there
were number Of other good pieces
of poetry. The suspicion is greater
by reason of the nature of the prize
and doll baby that plainly called
mama.
The party then adjourned to the
basement of the church where coffee
and a variety of sandwiches were
served.
Some twenty-seven members an
swered to the call of the roll, which
means that much money in the
treasury, and with the collection of
the amount due by absent members
the sum will be doubled. Altogether
a most delightful evening was en-
Joyed.
