Complimentary Dance TO Legion,

Fair ladies and brave men met last Tuesday night at the invitation of the music department of the Woman's club and the event ranks as mem orable one for all present.
 ations. Swinging gayly from the lofty ceiling were myriads of Japanese lanterns, while mingling with them them the ever lovely colors-the red, the white, the blue-proclaimed the affair a patriotic one. The guests were met at the door by the members of the music section en masse, and the boys of the legion were given a cordial welcome. M
 At nine, the signal for the the grand march was given and Mrs. Porter and Cyrus Bendorf led the gay assem- blaze through it's intricacies. What a kaleidoscope of beauty and color it was!
 Beauties from the harem, clowns, Pierettes, gypsy queens, Japanese, Dolly Vardens, Chinese Maidens, shepherdesses, dolls and all mingled with the boys in uniform. Dancing was not the only entertainment. Cor nelius Buckley sang, "The Americans Have Come". Miss Boudeson gave a pretty Indian dance. Mrs. Pouthrie was veritable Aunt Jemimy. While King Lent appeared at midnight and told the happy crowd they must de- part.
 The boys are quite appreciative of the attention given them and for that reason the ladies of the department who worked hard to make the affair the success it proved, feel more than gratified over the results.

MRS. FRANK NOBLE

Y. W. C. A. Drive.
 While many were not solicited for the Y. w. drive, we suspect none feel any regret because there has been an abundance of drives for different ob- jects, since the new year began. However, it will be most interesting to know that such drive has been carried on successfully within the past week. Mrs. Charles Isham was chair- man of the work for Coconino county and with her aides secured over three hundred dollars-the quota being two hundred and fifty for the county. Will Hams responded nobly and while she was only asked for seventy-five dol lars, she sent one hundred and fifteen. Emerson school stood high among the list of contributors and the Normal school responded generously, while individual cntributions from Flagstaff townspeople made the work easy for the committee in charge. The re- sponse was so generous that the com- mittee seeks this way to make men, tion of the liberal sum sent in to na- tional headquarters

Ye Olden Days.
 One calling at the Breen home on last Saturday evening would have found a colonial stage setting with stately figures acting well their parts. Powdered pages answered the door and bade the guests discard their mod em wraps and soon the gay assem- blaze was complete. The Shake speare club had met for one of their social evenings and the hostess's in vitation in colonial style had prompt ed her guests to respond in the garb of long ago. The dinner, table was most attractively set with striking place cards and individual bouquets holding the flowers that we remem- Der flourished and blossomed in great grandmother's garden. Over all was the lovely glow from silver candela- bras holding their pretty candles. The menu carried out the clever idea and contained many old fashioned dishes, always delectable, served by two CO., lonial figures in short brooches and ru ed waistcoats. These were the Misses Dorothy Hyde and Ann Ame- lia Noble.
 Later the guests had coffee before the fireplace and spent the remaining hours gossiping in the good old fasll- toned way.

 School Entertainment. From many standpoints the school entertainment last Friday night at Emerson hall, stands out as one cf the best ever given. The second grade pupils under Miss Emily Johnson's supervision with able assistance by Mrs. Lulow, presented drills, songs, recitations and dramatic representa- tions, with a vim and snap meriting the praise given them.
 Miss Reinhold's- Campfire Girls gave several folk dances in costume; Miss Jennie Whipple sang, and the whole program would bear repetition.

Community Club Meeting

Tuesday night at the office of
G. e. Parks there was the larg
est crowd of business men of the
town assembled for a long time
present. Excellent suggestions
were made by a number of mem.
bers of the club but more par
ticularly by Mr.. Sam Jordan and
Mr.. Roy Rucker.
That we will have waterworks
and street improvement before
the community with little delay
there is no question tho the wat
erworks necessity appears to be
secondary and alleged visionary
in some. Not so. The one en-
terprise which will save cash
money and protect as we'll as
promote health will be put thru
this year.
The Community Club will ac-
complish more this year than the
scattered efforts of our citizens
could do in a decade and every
citizen of the town should be-
come a member, especially our
women. Membership fee fixed
at Sl.00 a month. Small, in
view of what is before the club,
bat permits every one to take
part by joining.
Don't lay oIt and wait to be
called upon to join, but come to
the meeting next Tuesday night
at Mr.. Parks office and speak
your sentiments freely.
