Over four hundred . people crowded the Natatorium and enjoyed one of the jolllest dances of recent years. The Natatorium was turned into a lairyiand. me walls were banked with evergreens, snowballs roses and other flowers, and greenery and hanging baskets of Scotch bloom bridal wreath and other beautiful blossoms, suspended from the ceiling garlands of white and green crepe pa per, and but you should have seen it. Such decorations have never been seen in Ashland before and must have represented several days of hard la bor on the part of the decorating committee. The entire valley was represented at the ball, and when the Vlnlng Theatre orchestra, under the direction of Carl Loveland, played the opening selection at 8:45, the ballroom was filled with a most cos mopolitan and congenial crowd. The most enjoyed feature of the evening were the dances staged by pupils of Mrs. Shirley Keene, Ash land's popular teacher of dancing The first dance was a sailor's horn pipe In costume by the following young ladles: Misses Dorothy Ed wards, May Skeen, Alta Farmer, Vio let Hersey, Edith Cole, Glyn Roberts, Ruth Hadley and Helen Eske. The Intricate figures of the dance were perfectly executed, the sailor lassies throwing themselves into the spirit of the dance with abandon. "The Dance of Spring," a beautifu esthetic Interpretation of the spirit of spring, was the most graceful and fin ished harmony of movement Imagin able. Dressed In filmy draperies and bearing garlands of flowers, the young ladles presented a dance which made the audience forget that they were in a ballroom and imagine rath er some shady nook with fairies danc ing their joy at the coming of spring. Exceptional ability both upon the part of the teacher and the pupils ' was evidenced by the precision and race of the beautiful dance. The jtoung ladies who danced "The Spirit of spring were Misses Queritta Brown, Charlotte Chappelle, Gertrude Moore, Helen Moore, Alice Becroft, Flora Provost and Mildred Gearheart. ... Then as a climax. to the entertain ment features two ladies (we called up both Mrs. Barron and Mrs. Grieve and they refused to allow us to print their names) presented an ".upside down" dance which was simply a scream VINING THEATRE c Monday (May 8th Helen Ware m Secret Love Strong Dramatic Drama in Five Reds Paramount Presents...

"Miss Hoh!s" Grand Success. The senior play which was staged last Thursday evening In the high school gymnasium was as good If not better than anything of Its kind ever The cast to his mother by the wearing or a carnation. A red carnation is worn if one's mother Is living, and If dead, a white carnation is worn. The prac tice applies both to men and women. Tho custom was started in the Vnited States at the time of President William McKinley's mother's death. It has since been observed earh year until at the present time practically every person throughout the country wears the carnation on this day as a symbol of respect for his mother. Surprwe Mr. Robison. May 1 being Mr. J. B. Roblson's birthday anniversary, about thirty five of his friends arrived at his beautiful country home, two miles west of Talent, early In the day, with well-flllod dinner baskets, and com pletely surprised Mr. Kohlson, who thoroughly enjoyed it. Mrs. Robison having been let Into the secret, had made elaborate preparations in the 'ine of delicious eats, which added to the contenta of the baskets brought, at the noon hour, made a very plente ous dinner, which was spread on the beautiful lawn, tinder the Immense i:a trees, and enjoyed by all. Prof, and Mrs. Wheeler of Eagle Point had the amusements of the day in charge, which were so efficiently bandied that at a late hour In the evening, when the guests departed, every one declared themselves most royally entertained and hoped Mr. Robison may have many more happy birthdays. all knew their parts no coaching was done at all from behind the scenes. Harry Reigel, who took the part of Wolf Kingsearle, was prob ably the Btar of the occasion. He took the part as If it were the most natural thing in the world for him to wear a mustache and knock about the Himalayas. Mary Welsenburger, In the title role, "Miss Hobbs," fought with Reigel for the laurels. She also took her part as if she was made for It. The rest of the cast acted like "old heads." Myra Gunter as Miss Susan Abbey deserves special men tion, as also do Helen Dlckerson as Mrs. Percival Kingsearle and Aubrey Redlfer as her exasperated husband. A better character than Elbert Far low for Charles the butler could not have been picked. His despair at having to wear livery was truly pa thetic. One almost felt Borry for him. Miss Van Housen, who coached the play, certainly deserves much praise. The house was fair and no more than that. There were too many things going on to expect a big crowd. The expenses of the play were rather heavy the royalty on It was about $15. But considering all these things, it' was a pretty good success financially; and even it was not a success in that way, it was al most enough of a success In a liter ary sense to make It worth while. The high school is especially indebted to the Vinlng Theatre and Swenson & McRao for tho loan of furniture for the play. .

"A gambler Is either a thief or a fool." "What can you expect of your boy, when you are so crooked you cannot back Into a round house?" "Your boy is onto every curve you put over the plate."

"Young men, if you He down with the dogs long enough, you will surely get up with the fleas." , "If you are a husband, go It true or die!" "Young man, let's go it clean!" Nine hundred people crowded the building Sunday evening. Vessey played "The Rosary" as the offertory. Beautiful! He and Rasor sang "Blessed Jesus, Keep Me White." The message was taken from Joshua 24.15, "Choose you this day whom you will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." The subject was "Home." This message was in keeping with the others, and many a man and woman we believe went out from the building deter mined to have a better home. "The chief business of every home Is to build characters." Every prodigal boy and every girl in sin should re member that "there are two that love him still, and that is God and moth er." The last scene In the building on Sunday evening, May 7, 1916, was that of a young man kneeling in prayer and giving himself to God. Tuesday night is Young Ladies' Night.
