THE RECEPTION A most successful New Years' Recep tion, at which the ladies of the Lyle Tuesday Musical and the Neighborhood Club were the hostesses, was one of the very pretty events of the holiday week The ladies club room and the Com mercial Club library were used for the the occasion, and at times the capacity of these rooms was very much taxed, from one hundred and fifty to two hundred ladies and gentlemen having called durin the afternoon. The decorations, appropriate to the season, were most elaborate and consist ed of masses of boughs and trailing fes toons of fir caught with clusters of Christmas bells. Punch was served by Mrs. M. K. Hall and the Misses Mjrgaret Anson, Bertha Young, and Mabel Wil liams. Music was furnished thruout the afternoon by Miss Florence McCall. Everyone present was happy of the opportunity to greet friends on the be ginning of the new year, and with the general good cheer and the informality of entertainmen. the occasion resulted in a jolly holiday party instead of a formal reception.

MURPHY Hardware and Ranges FIREMEN'S BALL A SUCCESS The Fourteenth annual Firemen's ball occured last Monday evening with a splendid crowd in attendance. The firemen had taken particular pains with every phase of the evening's entertainment. The first thinr which irrupted t.h rtanrer as they approached the commercial club was a glaring head ight. attached to the veranda of the club house. Beneath it were the initials of the order in myriads of colored incandescents. In the ball room, hanging in sracefnl curves, were scores of lanterns of various colors. About the windows were arranged branches of fir and in the windows proper were bright and shining oil cans. The combination was odd but attractive and as the dancers glided about the perfect dancing floor, to the strains of real music coming from Thomas six-piece orchestra. they invariably agreed that the firemen have long since learned how to arrange a nan. Later in the evening the crowd thinned and those who rerained had the floor to themselves, and needless to say they made the best of it untill long after Father Time had swept awav the old year, and 193? had been ushered in. . ANOTHER INSANE Mrs. Fred Nice, of North Powder, was adjudged insane early in the week and taken to Salem yesterday morning.
