The home of Miss Pansy Nickel,
104 North Beaver street, was the
Scene of much gaiety Saturday night,
when about 25 couples gathered for a
dancing party. Splendid music was
! furnished by violin, piano and saxo-
phone. Cake and coffee were served
for refreshments and everyone had a
good time.
The Altar society will entertain at
cards on st. Patrick's Day, March II,
! in the hall of the Catholic church.

What is conceded by all to be the
best entertainment of its kind for the
season was given Tuesday evening at
the Orpheum theatre, when the liter
ary section of the Woman's club stag
ed the three-act play Love and Ge-
ography."
/ From the selection of characters on
| through to the control Of the settings
there was plainly visible the work
and thoughts of many interested per-
sons. The characters could not have
ebeen improved on in selection, con-
/ sidering stature, personality and tai
ent, had they been chosen from
among number of professional act
ors.
For the principal part, that Of
"Mr. Thygsen," Nelson Saunders por-
trayed the part to perfection. The
/ splendid carrying qualities of his
voice greatly aided the complete sue
cess Of his part.
/ Mrs. Alex Johnston, as Karin, the
Wife gave that part clever and
! pleasing impersonation that was re-
ceived enthusiastically by the audi
ence.
"Helga," the daughter, was charm
! ing and Enthusiastically given by
| Miss Ida Davis.
( Mr.. Johnston was the bald-headed
/ professor who so well succeeded in
/ becoming a neddler. He handled a
difficult role in most satisfying man
neT.
/ Miss Berchtold, as "Anne," the
maid, gave that always hard part to
| fill lot of individualism which made
! it one of the interesting parts of the
| play.
Mrs. Joe P. Wilson, the synnpa-
tlletic. understanding friend, who
smoothed the family's trouble out in
the last act, was SO easy to look at
and listen to that it was no wonder
she soethed away all misunderstand-
ing.
Miss Edna Dotson portrayed char
acter several years older than her
self in delightful manner, and even
made snuff taking attractive.
Clarence T. Pulliam, the damned
painters" philanderer and heart
breaker, was as natural-beg pardon
played as naturally as if he actual
ly in everyday life fitted the role.
After the show the members of the
cast were entertained at a midnight
supper by Miss Mary A. Boyer and
her sister, Mrs. Lee Carron.
There is chance-at any rate many
are urging it-that the play will be
produced again night after Lent.
The attendance was 100 per cent,
and the generous applause evidenced
the appreciation with which the pro-
duction was received.

Asa Clark one of Flagstaff's ear
ly pioneers, was pleasantly surpris-
ed Tuesday evening, March Is, at his
home on Kendrick street. The occas-
ion for the party was Mr.. Clark's
87th birthday. The Eastern Star
lodge first presented him with
beautiful bouquet and appropriate
wishes. Then later in the evening Is
members of the Rebekahs called to
surprise him with a large birthday
cake, and wish him all good things
for many years to come.
Mr. Clark is one Of our old time
residents and we join with the COM
munity in respectful and sincere
wishes for him.
