With the memory of the 0. A. C. hop fresh in our minds, the big band ball dawning up In ten immediate hori zon and the Maccabee annual ball nearby, too, there is an abundance in store for the terplacoreans. Mrs. T. N. Murphy entertained the Bridge club this week. Several special guests were prenent. The Le Jaunesseclub, perhaps bet ter known as the "Hemstitch," have passed a resolution to meet on al ternate weeks. ' . The dying week was an important one In club circles, for In it the fu ture of the year's work of the Neigh borhood Club was determined and in cidentally a Bocial feature of no small importance was enacted. Newlyweds or near such are forming an afternoon sewing club and one meeting has already been held. The mesdames will meet every the Neighborhood club attempts was a really social hour last Tuesday af ternoon the club as usual is active ly engaged in some important work to think much of social affairs. Two committees had the afternoon's meet ing in hand and well did the mem bers of it do their work. With Mrs. M. B. Donahue, chairman, and Mrs A. T. Hill, Mrs. Hunter of Island City, Mrs. E. D. Selder and Mrs. Geo a. uurrey to assist, toothsome re freshments wore served at the close of the regular program rendered in opening meetings. Mrs. George T. Cochran was chairman of the pro gram committee and she too exerted herself to make It pleasant and en tertaining. -These affairs break the routine of sometimes monotinooa work in the club and will certainly be repeated. College "grads." were carried back to the days when "Rah Rah" was their chief by-word, old were made young and above all did O.

W w- cards are only played on alternate weeks when the gentlemen members meet with the ladles, i When women, boy's and girl's so cial clubs start out to replenish the high school athletic funds, then there is some evidence of pride and loyalty in the community. Such, however, is the case, for a very toothsome lunch eon is now being planned by the Le Jaunesse club in the near future to help swell that track team funds. The luncheon will be served at mid day on a nearby Saturday. Graduation and its related season of senior parties and senior farewells ana aoove an, graduation gowns- and perhaps a new suit of "rags" for the boys Is drawing near. The class this year has always been re nowned for "doing things" and it will be surprising if the coming weeks do not see novel, unique and delightful functions under the leader ship of the 1910 high school class. The details of commencement week are now being solved. .' One of the unusual ventures which circumstances and surrounding. The association has aluucned its annual hop with a clever and knowing hand, and from Invitations to decoration all with its multitude of details Ci!" .nmAno and umArtness ore vailed always. About eighty couples were on the floor and in that number many smart gowns lent a color of style to the occasion. Patronesses' were, Mesdames. E. E. Bragg, C. T. Bacon, P. L. Lilly and Walter M. Pierce, . all of this , city. Prom one of the many artistic cor ners of the floor, Miss Ceclle Lilly, the mascot of the occasion, officiated at the punch bowl with admirable grace, and the Orange and Black was truly at Its own. College and college spirit was prevalent and the noted 0. A. C- yell frequently helped to make it more so. All in all the affair was by far the most elaborate and fash ionable dancing parties of the pres ent year, since the Elks annual ball last winter. Among those in attendance from out of town were: ' ' Messrs. "Bob" Wlthycombe, James Dobbin, the renowned O. A. C. foot ball star, John Dobbin, Will Vogel and Misses, Hutchinson, Nodlne and Hall, all of Union; Mesdames Saw yer and Young of Hot Lake; Misses Georgia Stewart and Enda Wlssler, of Fendleton; Mr. and Mrs. Murphey, of Kansas City.

Carl averring that women have a very easy time. When a few days before their marriage one of these festivals was to come off Gretchen ordered Carl to report him self at her home, where she lived with her father nod mother, and a number of younger brothers and sisters aged ail the way from fourteen years to three months, and to remain there daring the day subject to her direc tions. .

But the baby was not minded to ,be put down. The squnwllng recommenced. Carl took it up again, but the squuwllug being re newed he repented the process again and again.' In other w ords, he . was obliged to keep the baby In his arms. About noon the child fell asleep on bis shoulder, and he laid It in its crib.'..

Gretchen bad put some ba con In one dish and some potatoes which he was to fry in another. This was, all the cooking be was to do, aid ho had told her that he had often done it while camping and would have no trouble. -lie sliced the potatoes and the bncon and when he considered the fire hot enough set the pans contain ing them on It, having first heated some fat for the potatoes.
