The Country Club on the Jones
and Williams estate was the setting
for "a Night in Monte Carlo"
staged by the Phi Iota Chapter of
the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. It
was a gay evening and many of the
towns celebrities as well as just
plain folks like us were there. The
mighty Maestro Louis Jordan, jo-
vial and genial, was on the scene.
Then there was Mrs. Percy Julian,
a perennial winter visitor, and in
our opinion, possessor of graceful
dignity that is inspirational. The
Civic Drama Festival was well rep
resented by a group who came out
with the Grigsbys after perform
ance of Waiting for Lefty" Doc
tors Wormley, (BaSileuS of Phi
Iota Chapter) and Perdue along
with Lloyd Dickey dispensed excel
lent service in keeping the guests
refreshed. They were assisted in
the evenings entertainment by their
fellow Greeks and wives. Among
the many persons we saw were the

Russell Simpsons, David Solomons,

Venerable, Evelyn Warren, James
McElroy, Ford Smith (Welcome

theola Villanueva Ga very attrac-
tive young widow from DetroiD
to mention only few.
Mrs. C. o. Larramore gave us a
ride back to town (for which we
were most gratefuD and we got the
opportunity to meet Mrs. F. Hardi-
man whom we had often said hello
to but didn't know.
We hear that the annual tea of
the Past Daughter Rulers Council
was elegant and colorful as usual
with local musical talent as Lulu
Gentry, Cora Griffin and Dan Jack
son sparkling the program, along
with Maxine Johnson and Mary
Smith who performed with youth
full zest. Combining her dramatic
and literary talents Mrs. Catherine
Bass presented a selection which
helped to make the afternoon an
entertainment treat for those who
attended. Our eldest son, bounc-
ing lad of five, represented the
family (our services are becoming
so much in demand we can't fill all
our engagements Mr.. Charles
Patterson, president of the Pacific
States Association of the Elks ex-
tended words of inspiration as did
a Past Daughter Ruler of Detroit,
Mrs. Maggie Simmons. Mrs. Clara
Jackson, from whom we received
notes on the occasion is Loyal
Daughter Ruler of the Past Daugh-
ter Rulers Council.
For those who like to dance the
Holiday Social Clubs annual form
al was a dream come true. The
music was excellent, the lights
low, the girls gorgeously gowned,
the men splendidly attired and hos
pitab1y abundant. In this report
ers opinion all was well and swell.
