SOLDIERS ENJOY
HOSPITALITY Of
LOCAL RED CROSS

The entertainment and dance
given by the Red Cross ladies of
Nenana in honor of the returned
soldiers, which took place at the
Union Hall on Saturday night, was,
in every way, an unqualified sue
cess.
The hall was very tastefully deco
rated for the occasion by the ladies,
and presented a very beautiful ap-
pearance. Seats were arranged in
tiers all the way down the hall,
fianked by benches along the side
walls. The color scheme of the
decorations was in red, white and
blue, with wealth of evergreens
for background.
The function, which was free to
all, was very largely attended, and
when the first number on the pro-
gram was called, even standing
room was not available in the large
hall.
The guests of the Red Cross ladies
began to arrive shortly before 9
O'Clock and were ushered to their
seats by Misses Vera and Muriel
Russell and Margaret Southworth,
who were becomingly CARRIED as Red
Cross nurses. The returned sol
diers, who were the guests of honor,
were seated ina body in a portion
of the hall specially reserved for
the purpose.
With the arrival Of the Coliseum
orchestra, shortly after $3.50 o'clock,
the entertainment commenced.
DR.. Robert Jospeh Diven opened
the program with an address of
welcome to the returned soldiers
in his usually forcefully happy way,
which was we'll received and heartily
applauded. A flag drill by the
younger school children was next
given and greatly enjoyed; the little
tots went through the intricacies of
the drill faultlessly.
Madame de Vilbiss, the female
baritone, appearing for the first
time in America, next treated the
audience to a powerful baritone solo,
to an accompaniment played by Miss
Lucille Diven. Kenneth Diven, as
Madame de Eilbiss, filled the role
to perfection, even to the little
twists, postures and movements
peculiar to the sex. He was stun
ningly gowned and coiffured and
carried himself as only a woman
can. He responded to the recall
with another solo and responded
again with humorous Irish story.
A violin solo played to an auto
piano accompaniment by Professor
Berggren. was followed by a recita-
.tion by Frank Cleary. His enun-
citation of the story of a cowboys
love in Texas. by the Rio Grande.
made big hit.
Mrs. Walter Gould and Miss
Luella Shaffer next treated the
audience to a vocal duet, accom-
panied on the piano by Miss Lucille
Owen. Their voices blended beauti-
fully and the duet was greatly en-
enjoyed. In response to a hearty
encore, the ladies responded with
the old favorite, 81 Know a Bank
Wherein the Wild Thyme Grows"
from Shakespeare's Midsummer
Nights Dream"
Edgar BROKER, in the garb OF
cook, and little Genevieve Old
field, his customer, created roars
of laughter in a dialogue relative
to peach pie, and in response to
vociferous recall, appeared on the
stage and bowed their acknowledge
ments.
Mrs. Leon Kellum next treated
the audience to a song and dance.
She was accompanied on the piano
by Professor Berggren, who also
played a violin obligato. To the

NEWARK. Del. Feb. 2i.-George
Mitchell, youngest son OF Or. Samuel
Chlles Mitchell. president OF Delaware
College, has developed into quite a
land-ship navigator.
He has constructed, and now is giving
trial trips 10, a sloop that Is designed
to sail on land. 70 Is built along the
lines Of an ice yacht Instead OF hav-
ing runners at the ends Of the long OUT
riggers and the stern, however he has
wheels. The rig consists Of a lego
mutton sail. with a bomb constructed
so the sail may be furled quickly. The
name or the craft Is Eliza Jane.
The trial course selected by young
skipper Mitchell is South College
avenue, a well-paved thorouehfare eN-
teLdlng from IN front Of Old College
Hall down 10 the Pennsylvania railroad
station. Given a strong wind, the Eliza
Jane makes fairly good speed.

one excited farmer after he had sue

threatened 10 get away from him.
The commander Of the Eliza Jane did
not reply. He was so busy holding his
craft to Its southwark course that he
had no time TO fool away with land
lubbers, who displayed such lack OF
appreciation Of a twentieth century
advance in navigation as was repre-
scented by the Eliza Jane.
