After a period of general re
laxation which continued until a
pall almost seemed to settle over
things socially, otherwise than
routine club functions, with the
issuing of invitations by Mes
dames L. Damon. J. E. Hubbard,
W. H Craven, W. E. Craven and
P. J. Dickinson to nearly 100
g-uests for an afternoon at cards
at the I. 0. O. F. Hall last
Wednesday afternoon and in
most cases the fortunately bid
den accepting with alacrity the
affair promising to be the lamest
and the merriest of the waning
winter season, Society has taken
on a decidedly new impetus.
With February rapidly ap
proaching, when such varied op
portunities are offered the host
ess for special observances enter
taining will likely take an enthu
siastic fresh start . and really
become) infectious.
The faultless weather and im
maculate sky have lured many
out into the open recently, some
for long hiking jaunts, while oth
ers enjoyed jolly motor parties.

many friends in Independence,

gonian the following recital at
tracted many devotees of music
from this city who accorded re
markable praise to the partici
pants: "One of the most distinguished
music recitals in the series at the
Monmouth, Or., Normal School
was that which took place there
last Wednesday night, the two
soloists being Mrs. Delphlne
Marx, contralto, and David
Campbell, pianist. The attend
ance was about 400 quite nota
ble for Monmouth,
lir. Campbell, who arrived re
cently from Europe, where he
studied the piano with distin
guished masters, played with s
clarity of tonal beauty and mas
tery of technique that were ad
mirable. He is steadily forging
ahead as one of the most talented
of the younger pianists of the
Pacific Northwest, and fully de
served the praise his audience
howertd upon him."
