iW SOCIETY
Dancing and cards, with club fea
tures to lend variety, reign Bupreme
in society circles these days. 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. A
C. students vividly come Into their
own last night when the first annual
hop of the O. A. C. association in

cards are only played on alternate

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. .'

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

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

ent year, since the Elks annual ball
last winter.
Among those in attendance from
out of town were: ' '
Messrs. "Bob" Wlthycombe, James

walked about with it for awhile, theu
put it down again. But the baby was
not minded to ,be put down. The

About noon the child fell asleep on

It was now time to get the dinner,

Mother Indication of the stable

In the short period of one day $5000
were raised, the first ' 12000 being
plans drawn and some money to be

ment of the new. edifice are brJght.
It was planned to build the founda

Leod can recruit money as rapidly
as he did on the first day, the struc-
