 To say that the success of the party depended on the departure of the guests sounds like para dox but such is generally the case with most every jailhouse social. At any rate it was the best of the year. Rendered to MT. and Mrs. AL. Reed by Mary Lou Campbell, Mae Bunting and Mrs Robert Ge- sell on the eve of their departure for the outside, it was a breakup party in truth. The fact that it was held in US. Deputy George Wagner's new jail added in no small way to i;s brilliance. As host, MT. Wagner was most en- |tertaining since the subject of po- lice dogs was not brought up dur ing the evening. The party be- gan with bridge and other card games.
 After that came dancing: Dr. Smith furnished the music taking ecnore after encore. The ladies broom dance was an innovation that will no doubt be a permanent part of every party hereabouts from now on.
