Probably The Country club's his
tory when written will show a few
outstanding events denoting the times
whea Grande society held forth
there in events of extraordinary im
portance. 1 huisday night was one
of those events for it was a duncinfc
party where harmony of the peonlv
attending competed with harmony of
tho excellent orchestra's music, ani
the joyfulness registered higher and
higher on the guage of happiness -i.s
the evening advunred. Some of La
Grande's most popular young people
entertained, the personnel of the hosts
and hostesses being Or. nnd Mrs. Lee
Bouvey, Mr, and Mrs. W. II. Keuter,
Mr. nnd Mrs. Chase Hohnenkamp, Mr.
nnd Mrs. Herman Seigrist, and all of
them know the art of entertaining in
a most royal manner.
The Country club was djcorntetl
with cut flowers and the cheerful fire
place bade awarm welcome to th'j
guests as they arrived.
The trip to the club house that even
ing was a picture within itself for the
winter moon Kent its shimmering rnys
v.'os in progress and won for himself
Well deserved praise.
.lust before thefniilnight hour ex
quisite refreshments' were served and
during the eveniifg' he punch bowl
was' mighty popular. It was omi
o'clock in the mmiiing when the mer
riment came to a close and the auto
mobiles lined up Uj.-earry the happy
people who participated in what was
universally pronounced one of the
veiy best social events back to the
city.
The P. E. O.'.SisJers met Friday,
December 2nd, at the home of Mrs.
fc. E. Kiddle at Island City. Mrs.
Wayne Wade assisted the hostess in
entertaining, a very delicious lunch
eon being served. A great deal of
work .was accomplished at this meet-
'ing and among the reports that were
given was an account of the activities!
of the Hospital Committees which are
accomplishing much good.- Iht P. E.
(). Sisters are -assisting the. Red Cross
Association, and in the very mar fu-
.through the. Qro. Pell canyon play-J uleT " .

panion to the highway almost t'he en
tire distance to the club house.
Thoughts of New Knglaud winters
which will go to that organization.'!
I hey are also selling a Jiffy Apron
Spring Belt, something very new and
which bids fair to be very popular.
The proceeds from this will also ko to
the Red Cross. The committee which '
ing. All Elkdom turned out and both
tfie concert and dance were pronounc
ed very fine.
One of the most pleasant evening
entertainments in the history of the
Young Woman's Educational Auxil
iary was given Tuesday evening at
the home of Cora Hurding Scott on
Adums avenue, with Mrs. Scott, Mr.-.
Vera Wattenburg, Mrs.'Piaegcr and
Miss Bertha Walainger as hostesses
for the evening. An enlhusiastiv busi
ness .meeting conducted by the presu
dent, Mrs. Sherwood Williams, pre
ceded the program. The president re
ported the amount of s! turned over
to the ;Red Qross Thrift Shop, the
proceeds of a Candy sale conducte.l
by the Auxiliary. Miss Bertha Wal-
singer announced the study of poetry
for the evening. An enthusiastic busi-
review of some of our best poets ant,
their favorite works; ending with a
reading, "I Ain't A-Goin' to Cry No
More."
The following numbers were then
given:-'Miss Nell Mahuffey read two
of James Whitcomb Riley's poems,
"Orphan Annie, and I wo Little
Girls"; Miss Lida McGuiro sang
"Dutch Lullaby,'' written ty Eugene
Field, with music by DcCovan; Mr'.
Aldrich accompanied her. A reading
by Mrs. Thomas Wasinger, "An Or
der for a Picture," by Alice Cnry, was
followed by a tableau, in which Mrs.
Vera Watenburg and little Sonny
Wattenburg and Worth Epling took
part. A musical monologue, "The
Kour-lAaf Clover," by Mrs. Ella Hig-
ginson, music by Combs, was read by
Cora Harding Scott, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Donna Smith an J
Miss Ruth Ouiitley on the violin.
pantomime, "The Children's Hour," by
ixjngfellow, was taken part in by the
Misses Brnnche Clark, Clema Shaw,
Phyllis Dunn, 'Elizabeth Healey am!
read by Mrs. Praeger. A whistling
solo by Cora Harding Scott was the
closing ' number .after which very
unique and dainty refreshments were
served by the hostesses.
. Many people who didn't happen to
see '"Jerry the Tramp," presented un
der the auspices of the Ad Club last
Monday evening, have opportuned the
club to present the play again at some
nearby date. The club officials and
the actors have taken the matter un
der advisement. - ' '
"The pros and cons of the 1025 fail
tax" will be the theme for discussion
by the Methodist Men's Club at their
first regular meeting night from the
year. The program Committee has a
group of three .speakers" on each sidr;
of the much-mooted1 question, toho
hive given some time and attention,
to the subjeot and a round-table dis
cussion is to.folow. The social com
mittee has1 unlimbered itself for the
occasion and .there promises to be
much of enjoyment and merit in the
program. All members of the Meth
odist congregations and their friends
lare' invited to participate. '.The. ses
sions will be held in the Met! s parlqr
of the church. . . ...
An inter-town social and theatrical
evening of more than pnssing moment
has been arranged for next Thursday
evening. The Union Commercial Club
has invited the theatrical department
and the men's chorus from the Ad

the first number I-a Grande people
were hers. She had them, and wne.i
she rendered "Carry Me Back to O'd
Virginia" an an encore selection the
applause was not the kind which is a
part of good society s training, oui u
was that soul-stirring applause which
only comes from hearts that are at
tuned to that of the little singer.
When she sang "The Last Rosa of
Summer." 'her audience forgot the
world and everything that is in it
Adeline Pattl once electrified the na
tion with that old selection and thi-
little girl from the sunny southland
is not only another Patti but she has
some features that are more pleasinir
and more delightful.
And when she sang "(Mother .Much
roe" it was plain to all tnat tne cul
tivated and gifted human voice of a
singer could lead armies of men m
lattlej It was plain that her sweet
tones could nurse the aching heart
could relieve distress in almost any
form.
Yes, Virginia Rett is a wonderful
singer. La Grande is ready to adopt
her. Mr. McCoole at tho puino ac
companied her perfectly.
Women of i.Mooseheart Legion met
at the home of Mrs. C. S. Shultz for
the social meeting, Thursday after

work and many musical numbers. At
