Community Christmas Party.

In giving publicity to the annual
dancing party of the Mankato Shrine
club which will take place at the
new armory Tuesday night, Decem-
Der 26, the committee in charges
desires to impress upon all that IT
is TO be strictly community Christ
mas reunion the program for the
evening, the decorations, special fea :
lures, as well as the music which
will be furnished by the best eight
piece orchestra obtainable, will be
in keeping with the same And the
Shriners seek the cooperation OF the
people of Mankato and vicinity,
whether members of the Masonic
fraternity not, in carrying out
their well aid plans for such a COM
munity gathering at this happy and
joyful season Of the year. Admission
, will be by cards which may be OBJ
tanned from any local Shriner or at
the door Tuesday night. Those who
especially enjoy good dancing are
urged to attend, for the floor will
be in the best possible condition
you will sure enjoy yourself. Spe
cial favors consisting of confetti,
paper fezes, serpentine confetti,
souvenir tags, ETC., will be distri-
buted free among the dancers
throughout the evening. For those
who do not dance, cards and other
forms of amusement and entertain
ment will be provided, SO really no
one-male or female, old or young,
can dig up an excuse for not attend
ing this party.
Now, just another word to correct
q wrong impression that has become
quite prevalent regarding this near
event. 1t has come to the ears Of
the committee that a number, both
men and women, were hesitating
somewhat about attending the party
because it was going to be "too
formal" and "a full dress affair, q"
and they did not possess the proper
tinery to appear at such functions.
Those who have such visions were
never so out of "kilter" in their
whole lives" for such an impress
sion is very wrong. 1t is not to be
formal or informal affair, but a
real genuine, honest to- goodness
Shriner's party, and those who have
Mobiles heretofore, know that they
words or terms as Formally" and
full dress" So 1on't stay at home
because you havent's a full dress
suit or new party gown no matter
what the attire, you will be just as
welcome. OF course the two chief
"bif barls" "Pote" Smith and
"Hiney" will appear in full dress
along with all the trimmings, pro-
viding they can borrow the same,
for we doubt very much If either
possess such high brow toys.
Their stations in the club, and too,
them two be movie actor folks"
really require that they appear in
full dress upon all social and public
occasions. And aside from the at
tire of these two famed Mobiles, the
full dress will, be conspicuous for its
absence.
But, anyway, bear in mind that
the Shriner's party at the armory
next Tuesday night is to be a com
munity Christmas affair, and all
come prepared to have a rousing,
good, Jolly time in keeping with the
kato Shrine club.
