4 PAGE EIGHT. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1914. The United Store With the teachers ana students . leaving the city for the summer, the . Warm weather season beginning to ..-display its fangs, society is on the wane again.' The Immediate future centers about the Neighborhood club reakfast Tuesday. The Dark navil- ion, it may be expected, will soon call I out the dancing public for evening parties such- as were the delight of hundreds last year, hence although the bigger functions of society will .soon recess for the summer, it is certain that something -particularly good will be in store from time to time. ' Cove did things right Tuesday night, when it came with auto.s and took the entire Elks' cast of mm- . strels to the cherry city and swapped good fellowship with representatives . of this c:fy. Since then every Elk and lady who went to the famous '. little hamlet on the opposite side of - the valley and there helped swell the exchequer for the coming event of .the year in Cove, is bubbling over with good- things about the almost royal reception in a democratic land. When the party arrived they were led .to a table on which good Cove iadies had placed great heaps of aavory chicken, sandwiches, cake and coffee, real country cream and butter -and told to eat. Badges were pin ned on them to mark them as visitors which was a symbol for the hospi table latch string. And when the show started, the first number got such a hearty hand 4hat all coldness and stiffness disap peared like mist before a June sun. 'The feeling was catching and the actors and actresses responded as 'ever before in their lives. Each auunber went without a hitch, but with dispatch and helped increase -warm, loyal feeling. The curtain man got the feeling and made a Tecord for himself among Elks and Among the audience for the promptness with which he ushered in each new stunt. The dancing was better than ever before seen by mem bers of the club, and was greatly aided by, the superb manner in which the five piece Cove orcnestra played the accompaniment. The orchestra -work is the talk of Elks, as none of them . had expected such high class Tenditiong. Even the details of sup plying copious towels and soap for the performers in their dressing , rooms, (which . is usually neg lected), were religiously attended to. After the performance, luncheon was again served and after a two hour social dance was given '. the performers were then brought back to the city, a happy and satisfied .'bunch of Elks. The drive to Cove - consumed ubout 48 minutes and the roturn trip loss than that. This was " largely due to the portions of the road that had been dragged allowing ivjixty mile an hour time. Union had a special train over to '"the show and all helped to make this :-a real day in Cove. Standing room - was at a premium and improvised -..seats along the wall were put in to .accommodate the crowd. In a word, " Cove and La Grande came togethor . about 17 miles that night, which .jmeans spirit and enthusiasm. 'The "young ladies sodality dance given on last Thursday night was not only well attended, but it was a most . delightful affair, made so largely on account of the breeziness and the de lightful siimmor garden effect ot the outdoor portion of the building re cently added to Danceland by Mrs. Zuber. About a hundred couples were present to enjoy a sociable even ing, which may he the last of the ANSCO FILMS FIT ANY CAMERA HILL'S DRUG STORE ' 731 $xaIL Sm MRS. J. P. GRAHAM, DIRECTOR ff 4 I ii i 2 K 4 Mrs. J. P. Graham, a former Port land lady, who has made her home in this city the past year or so, has been assigned the leadership of the Methodist church choir, giving her the third active organization to di rect. She is director of the vested juvenile choir of the M. E. church and is the director of the Treble Clef club which gives a ogram at the Methodist church tomorrow night. Mrs. Graham has had very careful training in music. She studied with Mr. A. M. Robarts of London, a com poser and singer of note now located in Portland. She also studied several years in"Portland with Mrs. Brody who is a pupil of Arens of New York. She did solo work at the Centenary and Sunnyside churches and sang in the Tayolr street M. E. church at Portland, and in large choruses un der the direction' of Mr. Boyer who is now director of the Apollo club which is one of the largest and finest in the West. Since coming to La Grande, Mrs. Graham has been ac tively affiliated with music, and es pecially so now that she has three or ganizations under her direct guard ianship. season, though this is not by any means certain. In addition to punch the ladies served delicious coffee, cake and ice cream and won a ful some measure of praise for the de lightful party. The floor is very smooth and the new decorations make this hall a very desirable place in which to hold dances. The ladies are indebted to the generosity of Mrs. Mazanti, who generously do nated the rental of the hall to a worthy cause. 5 About fifty members of the Neigh borhood club were present last Tuesday afternoon to hear the final reports and take part in the election of officers for the coming year. All the reports were most gratify ing and show that the club under the leadership of Mrs. Vincent Pal mer has progressed along many lines.

' The social service committee has worked untiringly, especially through the cold winter months, Mrs. E. Pol ack, as chairman of this committee reported that 20 families had been helped, besides many individual cases. Twenty sacks of flour, given by the La Grande Milling Co., eight sacks of potatoes, many boxes of ap ples and jars of fruit and other pro visions, besides clothing ana money were distributed. The sick were looked after and the Red Cross work started in the community. The child-welfare committee, with Mrs. F. J. Schlike at the head re ported good work done and plans luid for the future. While it is with regret the club sees Mrs. Pal mer retire from the president's chair, they feel that they have every reason to congratulate 'themselves on having secured Mrs. Geo. Cochran-to fill her place and feel - confident of a suc cessful and enjoyable year's work under her able management. The election resulted in the following of ficers being elected: President, Mrs. Geo. 'Cochran, 1st vice-president, Mrs. Frank Jackson, 2nd Vice President Mrs. C. H. Bidwell, Secre tary, Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Correspond ing Secretary, Mrs. O. E. Silver thorn, Treasurer, Mrs. M. B. Dona hue. Every one is on the qui vive over the coming club breakfast to be given next Tuesday morning at eleven oclock at Riverside Park.- There is an air of mystery about the pro gram to be given at that important 1 unction that gives it first place in interest, even the menu is of second dary importance. The committee having it in charge refuse to give out any information and specula tion is ripe as to whether they are following the example of so many clubs and having a jinks and if so whether high or low, or perhaps medium.

The allegorical playlet was not long and tiresome, which showed marked judgment on the part of the direc tress, but the little songs and speak ing parts were so well studied that the. entire performance did not show ore noticeable break. The opening scene was perhaps the prettiest. Lit tle colonial dames and "gents" dressed in miniature frocks and wigs of those times came on the stage bowing with all the grace practiced by the aris tocrats oi southern climes. The little spring flowers sprang up at the wav of a magic wand and cj.iie upon ths scene singing a song of cheery wel come. There was something soothing in the sweet, unaffected children's voices some of them as clear as silvery bells. The little flowers were dressed to represent some dainty spring flower or sime daintily colored butterfly. The whole was built on the idea of the gentle reign of Spring and was in all respects pleasing and entertaining.
