A fnrewell reception was tendered

residence of B. P. Day nt -101 Wost
Tacoma street Wednesday evening, by
tho members of tho M . E. church.
Sixty people wore prosont, not Includ
ing children, Tho affair was a very
pleasing one, In spite of tho fact that
n tinge of sadness was felt by all
over tho fact that It was perhaps
tho last timo this Jovial nnd entertain
ing family would participate with
their St. Johns friends in n social
gathering. As a tokon of the high
regard In which Ilev. Young und his
family aro regarded by tho members
here they were presented with n
beautiful Axmtnster rug. Misses Ha
zel and Josephine woro also presen
ted each with a handsome fruit tray
in recognition of their valuable servi
ces In the choli. This family will
certainly be greatly missed In tho ma
ny social functions heroafter, and it
Is with intenso regret that tholr many
friends here noto their departure
They left for tuelr nownomo touny

Imaginable, llrolhor Poddlcord's ab

n few others who wero members of
tho orders wero also missed but men
tioned .
Tho address of wolcomo was given
by tho charming worthy chlef.Mrs.Vnl
ontlno, ono of tho most faithful nnd
earnest workers of tho entire bunch.
She hns not been absent from n sin
gle meeting of tho lodgo since Us In
stltutlon n year ago. This Is n dls
Unction claimed by no other member
of tho order nnd certainly deserves
tho highest commendation. Then fol
lowed roll call nnd reading of com
munications from tho grand chief nut
others who" though nlmcnt expressed
keenest Interest In tho phenomenal
success of tho lodgo. At tho last
annunl mooting, while this lodgo was
still a baby, only nine months old,
It made tho best showing of any
lodgo In tho Jurisdiction having
attained -greater growth In numbers
nnd having more tuouoy In Its treas
ury than any other.
Tho mnlo quartet then distinguished
themselves by Ringing nnd rcspondlnf

behind Us hnnds Wo would like to
glvo It hero, but It would lose J 10
per cent of Its mirth provoking powoi
by not hnvlng tho expression of Mrs.
Hnll In tho telling.
Mrs. Hnll wns followed In n moHt,
nrtlslc innuuer by Mrs. llorsman wltl
nn Instrumental on the plntio that
elicited hearty encore. Thon Chnn
collor Commander Illack of Holmes
lodgo was crlled for nnd responded
with one of his characteristic talks
Mr. Illack praised tho ladles for their
encrgotle work for tho good of tho
order during tho past year nnd the
grent success thnt had attended their
efforts nnd apologized for his Inabili
ty to nttoud tho mootlngH, declaring
that since ho had hecomo n married
man thnt ho had troubles of his
own. After letting this soak In a mo
ment, bo explained that thoy woro

thnt when ho returned to tho bosom
of his family nt nu early hour In tho
morning ho was ofton constrnlnod

So, tho fenst wont on until tho
knights and ladles had to hurry to get
homo tho sumo day. It was a most
delightful celobratlon of tho birthday
anniversary of tho lodgo and It Is
hoped tho good sisters will mnko it
n custom to observe tho day ovory

And tho Vogue still hns hats to
ploaso tho people.
The revival meeting is still in
progress and confessions are being
made almost every iiijjht. Forty
additions have been made to the
church and many more nre deeply
intercslel. It is now expected
that the meetings will close about
a week or ten days hence. To
night Rev. Olson will deliver a
lecture on the lives of Joseph and
Moses illustrated with moving
pictures and accompanied by illus
trated song?. Our people should
by all means see these pictures, as
they bring the scenes out as the
lecturer describes them in a way
that makes it very realistic. The
song service is excellent and the
sermons are thought-inspiring even
though you may not at all times
agree with the preacher. All peo
ple of whatever faith are invited to
come and hear.

Keep Bright and You
WILL KEEP BUSY
Klcclric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can
no more resist the attraction ol a brilliant, Klectrieully lighted
store than they can resist the elat ion call of u brass Imnd.
Is your competitor with the l'.leetrically illuminated show
windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcclric Sign getting
nn advantage over you? The moth never Mutters around thu
uulighted candle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting it necessity, whether they remain open
nfter dark or not. Competition forces modern method.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klectrie
light will make many a sale "the night before." Hlcctric
light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your
display, shows goods in detail aud fabrics in their tiiiecolom.
Aud don't neglect the Klectrie Sign. It is soliciting
" tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name in (lie public mind. It is u solicitor that never
becomes weary never stops work - costs little.
