WOMEN INTERESTED IN CUR-
 RENT EVENTS EVERYWHERE

Birmingham has many charming, attractive and brilliant women and she is right proud Of them and well it is that she might be. She is~es- pecially proud when some other city recognizes them for what they are and honors them accordingly. Mrs. W. l.. Murdoch is one that was hon. ored recently when Bradford acad- emy, the oldest girls school in the United States, soon to be Bradford college of Bradford, Mass, invited her with eight other women over the states as their guests to a meeting for the purpose of enlarging the school. Of course, Mrs. Murdoch ac- eepted the invitation and is very enthusiastic over seeing the old fa- miliar sights that were so dear to her glrlhood
 While east she visited her sister. Mrs. F. N. Nathan in Boston where she was extensively entertained. While there she heard Coue, who was introduced by Mary Garden in a most delightful way.
 "One of the most interesting parts Of my trip was when I was in Wash ington. where I heard Miss Richards talk on current events," says Mrs. Murdoch.

1 almost impossible, at the zenith of
 the party, to dance upon the floor 1 every space was so crowded l The Inter Fratres, who must be given credit for having the most unique party of the season, invited l as their guests all members of the | Council of Clubs, and each of these i organizations were recognized, called to the floor and favored, one by one. This varied the custom of recogniz- ing all the Council of Clubs at one time, as has been the plan at other dances during the season Naturally the chaperones had big job, but they were quick to notice whether anybody had sad look, and if so, to get to him and her and summon some little devils to wallop the blues at once. Strangely enough, however, most everybody, instead of being sad to have arrived in hell. said they wouldn't have missed coming for anything. The one or two unhappy persons noted were those whose friends were late in arriving. They could not be resigned until they were sure their acquaintances were going to share their same fate.
 All Ages
 There were guests of all ages present-from sweet II to 35-and the cars had long stopped running when the crowds departed to all sections of this diatrict of Mother Earth. which at least one man claims is the kingdom of the devil anyway, all the time. Sometimes we think the man Is right. Then, again, we know there's a little heaven around now and then. We've been in the throes of 1t when we've felt the clasp of the hands of sincere friends; when we've read the Bible and trusted the Lord; and when Santa Claus has dashed up and done us favor; and when the gas company has discount ed bill, or some composer has written a worthwhile song. O, we know Q little about heaven-all rightly!
 The dancing floor was smooth as glass, and there were several inter- missions when the guests enjoyed re- freshing punch, and related how much trouble they had had making their red costumes. One man said that al- though his costume was a trifie tight, he knew it was an exact fit. The dressmaker had said so. for it had been made for him.
 The orchestra played behind scenic fire. Everybody could see they were plenty warm. too. Being en- cored. they delivered their sentiments With: Its a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight and proceeded to mop their foreheads
 A number of pretty out of town girls attended the affair; the event being the biggest event the Inter Fratres have given this year. There were so many things at Christmas the club postponed it's large dance

Geo. Fl. Ellis came in from Spokane
Monday, driving up from Wenatchee
with Eugene Hockett, remaining mere
throughout the week.
Friday last DR.. Bevis operated upon
E. " Robinson for accute appendi-
citis at the local hospital AT last ac-
counts the patient is steadily improv-
ing.
Tuesday Dell Hart sold five acres
from tne Blackler tract to P. N. Brown
Of Wenatchee. Mr.. Brown comes from
district where apple culture has be-
.'ome a science, he appreciates hlgh
class, cheap lands under irrigation
and will make an orchard OF his new
purchase. More of this kind OF settlers
are needed in this locality. and the
| lucky ones will be those who come
early and get in on the ground floor.
A number of pupils of the Wash
ington State College are putting on
play entitled In Madam's Career
and among the cast appears the
name of Miss Emma Beale, of Oro-
vile. And with the memory still fresh
as to what that young lady can do on
the stage taking part in amateur the
atricals, ii the balance of tle cast are
in the same class with Miss Emma,
that play is going to be put on right.
The friends of the old timer will be
pleased to learn that VIM. Berry, who
is nursing a broken shoulder and a
few ribs out of plumb that he accum-
ulated when thrown out of wagon
d fortnight ago, is mending rapidly
and what is more conducive to his re-
covery is that William. who has al
ways been a cheerful bird, has recov-
cred his merry spirits which were in
experience.
copious. life-giving, revivifying'
hope stimulating rain fell in the valley
Monday with more on tap since that
date. The rain was not confined to the
low lands, for the high country was
also drenched. 1t was a timely vista
ton, too. for the ground had already
become very dry and the dust was be-
coming a sore nuisance. Grass Is fair
ly jumping out of the ground. buds are
swelling and soon the land will be a
picture of beauty.
The Oroville Motor company has
taken the agency for the Star car, a
handsome low priced vehicle that is
competing with the Ford in the low
price auto field, and the car has at
tracted a great deal of attention
among old auto owners and prospect
i've buyers. It is certainly a swell car
for the money, and is becoming very
popular among those who cannot af-
ford a high priced car, and yet feel
that they must have a car anyhow.
