An Oversight.

In the list of registered women pub
lished last week some names were
omitted which were not put in with the
original manuscript, but who were
among the earliest to register. One
was the name of Mrs. J. W. Peak, who
has always been one of the most Loyal
adherent of the suffrage cause.
There are probably others who were
Inadvertently left off. If so, please
notify US and the names will be men
toned. If your name is not on the list
make haste to get on the Honor Roll.

A Birthday Dinner.

William Strom entertained his
class Friday night at an elegant birth
day dinner.
In spite of the bad roads and mud
dy side walks, almost every one invit-
ed was present as they anticipated a
wonderful time at the spacious and
hospitable heme of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
A. Strom. re ~" .s'@' aut
When the guests arrived they were
ushered into the parlor by the host.
A jolly half hour was spent in playing
the Victrola and piano, after which
the guests repaired to the dining
room, two tables being set with every
thing delightful. After DIR. Lee asked
the blessing the musicians of the
evening-the Greek orchestra-were
introduced. The orchestra entertained
those present with music all during
the meal which consisted of, first,
fruit cocktail; second course, turkey
cranberries, rice, gravy, dressing,
chicken and potato salad, potatoes,
fruit salad, biscuits, ham and coffee.
The third course consisted of ice
cream, devils food, fruit, pound and
raisin cake.
After this most elaborate dinner,
the guests returned to the parlor
where everyone entered a most in
teresting contest and games. Then an
hour was spent in progressive con-
versation which flew by extremely
fast.
At eleven o'clock the orchestra
came into the parlor to entertain the
crowd further and it was applauded
over and over again.
Just before leaving, the first prize
for the contest was awarded to Helen
Nicholson, box of pink correspond
ence cards, and the BOBBY to Sue
Adams, which was large stick of
peppermint candy.
About midnight the guests bade
farewell to the host and left, know
ing that they could not possibly eat
anything for a week to come. The
large size of Mr.. and Mrs. Strom is
no longer puzzle if they feast upon
such dainties as were set before their
guests on Friday night. Every girl
and boy present will remember Will
liam Strom's dinner and his hospi-
tality for years to come.
