EVENTS OF WEEK. A very pleasant social eent of the past week was the May party given at Parsons Hall on Tuesday evening by the Woman's Alliance of the Unitarian Church. A -very pretty feature of the en tertainment was the May-pole dance by sixteen boys and girls. Some ery pretty figures were introduced into .the dance, and the gay red and white ribbons were braided without a flaw, the whole, per formance being a faithful copy of the merry .old English dance. The children were trained for the May-pole dance by Mrs. F. N. Henshaw, assisted by Miss Bessie Jones. Miss Lila Schacht gave a pretty song and dance and as an encore sang, "When Mr. Shakespeare Comes to Town." Two other pretty numbers were a graceful Spanish dance by Mildred Myer, and a dashing hornpipe by Ruby Silver, Florence Judge and Mildred Myer, each of whom wore a most bewitching sailor costume of red, white and blue. When the music of the hornpipe changed to "Yankee Doodle" a little silk fiig was pulled from, the front of each pretty sail or's blouse, and waved In time to the mu sic, which changed to the merry strains of "Dixie" as the dance ended. Other attractions Were"-the palmistry booth, where Miss Knox, in a brilliant Oriental costume related the past history of her patrons with unerring accuracy and fore told their future Hi a most bewllderirg way. The candy table where Miss Gile and Miss Kapus sold delicious home-made confections, and the flower table, where heliotropes, geraniums, pansies and other plants were sdld by Mrs. D. H. Stearns and Mrs. H. L. Barnel. Mrs. E, P. Walte served lemonade, assisted by Miss Josle Arnold and Miss Katherlne Hart.

Chrlstensen read from Mrs. H. H. Sjialdlngs diary, which describes the long and tedious journey of Tierseir and husband to Oregon In company with Dr. and Mrs. Whitman.

After several musical selections, dainty refreshments were served and all departed with thanks to the hostess for a most pleasant and profltable evening. Mrs. Drake will entertain the cabin at her home, corner Fifteenth and Gllsan streets, next Tuesday, May 13, at which time the reading of Mrs. Spalding's Diary will be concluded. Pretty girls, sparkling music and ex quisite decorations marked the last dance this season of the series arranged by the Junior Bachelors, given Friday evening at Parsons Hall. The orchestra was al most concealed behind natural trees, and dreamy waltzes floated through the floral screen like rare music from an aeollan harp in a garden. The weather was op pressively warm, but the dances were de llclously short, and the Summer gowns of the girls made c cool, restful picture. What appeared to be a real star twinkled in the ceiling over the dancers. Jt was really an incandescent light that was try ing to blaze, but could not. and it looked like a fairest evening star. The floor management was all that could be aesired, and the comfort of the guests was well looked after by these gentlemen: Peter Mcintosh, Merton Wisdom. Fred W. Dur bln, Theron G.
