HILL'S DRUG STORE Hi "Biggest, ti ghtest and beat of its career," is supposed to be a worn-out nd trite phrase when applied to a circus but applied to the Elks' straw berry fete given at the hall Wed nesday, June 17, it acquires a new ness that gives it a distinction all its own, for the ball was one of the big gest and most enjoyable of all the season's events to take the word ot the 140 who ; tended and enjoyed the hospitiality of the antlered herd Newness in decorations, newness in music and dances gave it a bright, brillant finish which was climaxed only when the Strawberry waltz, the Serpentine waltz and the Too Much Mustard two step were put on. The last number was danced amid a shower of ribbon confetti which en tangled the dancers and wound them up with one grand burst of speed. During the duncing program the guests were served with delicious Orange-ade and sherbe'ts. After dancing was finished a luncheon was served which consistedl of chicken salad, wafers, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and strawberries. Several out of town Elks were in attendance from Cove, Hot Lake, Spokane, Denver and qthjer points. i $ ? As the first of a series of social events preceeding her marriage, this month to Chas. R.

Her many friends will be pleased to know that she is expected home next month, audi if she arrives in time, will participate in the local talent at the Chautauqua. The article goes on to say: Last flvening in the Bay City School of Piano and Violin, Miss Lil lian Evans appeared in recital before a large number of guests, assisted by Miss Marguerite Ncwkirk, soprano.
