PLEASANT EVENING FUNCTION

One of the most delight ful affairs of the season was the auction bridge evening at which MT. and Mrs. Lloyd Henning entertained the members of the A. and T. Club and a few additional friends on Friday last.
 Nine tables were prepared for the pasteboard fray and all were filled with eager participants One of the high spots of the evening was MT. Jennings exhibi- tion of old time pictures showing Holbrook as she was thirty years ago. The pictures were not only of things but of people a n d elicited great merriment from some who were pre- Isent. In commenting on some of the photographs i MT. Woods said that his was Taken when he was free and untrammeled, before he was married, and that all the men ought to band together to keep from los ing their pristine beauty. :"
 Whitening has in ad- dition to the pictures a very large collection of old Hol- brook newspapers in a fine state of preservation. Need less to say that the assem- bled guests inspected these authentic voices of the old en times with great glee.
 Some delicious h o m e made chocolates together with cigarettes and "opera size cigars" filled a pleasant intermission between card games.
 At the end of the Auc- tion Bridge session t h e hostess served an ample and appetizing two course lunch. After the guests had demolished the suD- stantial refreshments Mrs. Henning supplied favors of dainty fringed baskets of candy for the women and animal balloons and squawk- CTS for the men.
 You would have thought from the noise that ensued it was New Years Eve. But one and all had a most delightful time and voted the A. and T. Club even- ings a continued success.
