Ladies' Night was observed by the
Henderson Kiwanis club Friday even
ing, the annual affair being in the
Company G Armory and attended by
some rs to 100 members, their ladies
and a few invited guests and enter
tanners. The program was one of the
most elaborate the club has had, and
the various entertainment features
declared really outstanding.
j. c. Gardner, the president of the
club, presided and c. o. Seifert led in
the singing of America" and God
Save the King" Rev. James A. Jones,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, a guest and a Rotarian, gave
the invocation. Mr.. Seifert led in the
singing of other club songs.
A welcome to the ladies was given
icy j. G. Gardner, club president, fol-
lowed by a response by Mrs. D. T.
Dickie, wife of the immediate past
president. Both were cordial and APP
propriate. Mr.. Gardner then presented
r. w. Bruin as POSTMASTER for the
evening. He had collection of Jokes
and wit in general that highly pleased
tn assembly and made every one feel
at home and at ease.
The Kiwanis membership prize was
presented by Rev. L. r. Medlin to
Horace M. Robinson, and the annual
lady's prize was given by Kiwanian
Aubrey E. Flynn, to Mrs. S. j. Lane.
Little Miss Bette Blue Person, of
Louisburg, who made hit at the re-
cent exposition here with her dane
ing and acrobatic performance, was
on the program to the delight of the
audience. She was accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. w. T. Person.
One of the high lights of the meet
ing was the vocal program by Mrs.
Peyton Brown, of Raleigh. In the alb
sence of her husband, DR.. Peyton
Brown, who was unable to accom-
pany her here, Mrs. I. w. Hughes
was at the piano for her vocal solos.
She sang a number of popular num-
bers and got a big hand from the
group.
Another real feature, and one which
was as much enjoyed perhaps as any,
was the program in magic given by
A. Coke Cecil, of High Point. Mr..
Cecil was presented by M. C. Miles,
vice-president of the club, and a col

of drug stores in High Point and
Greensboro. His mystery was as good
as that seen in the best of the
theatre offerings of the kind.
At the close of the set program,
prizes were distributed after draw
ings by number, with every lady pre-
sent being remembered with one or
more gifts.
On the tables were many nOise-mak
ing devices, and the decorations in |
the hall were appropriate and great |
ly admired by the guests. A welcome

especially arranged. Even the Xiv
