endeared her TO all hearts, and more
especially the beautiful thots express

was very brilliant affair, and was
attended BY over two hundred people.
Everyone spent a most enjoyable

To all present.
On Sunday morning at 1890,
very beautiful memorial service was
held in memory of the late President
Warren G. Harding. whose sudden
death the whole nation mourns. Rev
DR.. Geo. McGinnis delivered befit-
ting sermon, Our Fallen Chieftain,"
and Mrs. Mary Lawrence read a very
touching sketch about President Hard
ing.
All those who have had the pleas
ure of hearing Miss Mary Helen
Hatch sing, know the wonderful treat
we enjoyed when we say she favored
US with a sacred solo in a voice that
must have vibrated the portals Of
heaven. Miss Edwyl Redding, Miss
Alpha Sigrid and Mrs. C. G. Davis al
SO rendered some beautiful sacred
vocal and instTumental music during
the memorial service.
The Waunita Society has greatly
increased its membership and bids
fair to become an institution of Colo
RADIO.
