LOGAN'S HALL BEAUTIFULLY
DECORATED HEARTS HERE,
THERE AND EVERYWHERE,
ALL 8IZES- UNIQUE RULES.
Logan' Hall was the scene of one
of the most enjoyable social functions
of the season last night. The occa
sion being a Leap Year dancing
party given by the member of the
D. M. C. D. (Don't Mi Cupid's
Darts) Club.
There were about ,100 couples pres
ent and a representative gathering
of Aatorians.
One of the peculiar features of this
party was that the condition in "such
case made and provided" were re
versed. Placed in a conspicuous place
are the rules and woe betide the gen
tleman disobeys them. They are:
Gentlemen will not cross the
hall alone. (There are no
others here.)
Tonight it is the lady's
privilege only to ask for a
dance.
Gentlemen will wait for lady
escort at the dressing room
v door.
Gentlemen must remain seat-
4 ed unless they are dancing. 4
4 If above directions are fol- 4
4 lowed closely they will lead 4
4 to long hours of patient watt- 4
4 ing and develop in your gentle 4
4 hearts much sympathy for the 4
4 maid of '09. 4
At 9 o'clock the orchestra, which
by the way, was an excellent one, ren
dered a beautiful selection while the
humble member of the male sex sat
quietly in his place, living, for the
time being, in nervous trepidation as
to whether he would be invited to
participate in the first number on the
program, a dreamy waltz. It was a
leap year dance, and the ladies, like
true ladies, did not take the advant
age of the occasion they were entitled
to as to making the sterner sex come
to a realization of their past short
comings, but acted like "gentemlen"
and exerted jtbemselves to make the
humbled lords ot creation enjoy
themselves.
It was certainly a most pleasurable
gathering, and one that will be re
membered for a long time to come.
The beautiful music, the jolly good
feeling that spread spontaneously
thruoghout the hall, produced an en
thusiasm that1 was only dimmed by
the beantiful strains of "Home Sweet
Home" at midnight
The encores were so frequent, in
the easly part of the evening, that the
leader of the orchestra was compelled
to announce, after the twelfth num
ber, that no more repitions would
be made .although the musicians
would freely furnish such extras as
may be asked. A tasty strawberry
punch was served by the ladies
throughout the event that was keenly
enjoyed.
Great credit is due the members of
the organization, who by their un
stinted ettorts, made possible so
pleasant function. All acted as the
committee ot arrangements, none
shirking her duty in that respect
The following are the names of the
members of this popular organiza
tion: Marie Utzinger, Lucy Morton
Mary Fossett, May Utzinger, Eva
Holmes, Jessie Sands, Hattie Utzin
ger, Augusta Holmes, Nellie Utzin
ger, Anna Campbell, Thora Larson,
Alma Holmes, Ann Knight, Edith
Lowe and Carol Ogilvie. The pa
tronesses of this most successful func
tion were: Mrs. Nelson Troyer, Mrs.

MORE GOINO TO N. Y. MARKET
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The Mer
chants' Association estimates that
"fully 700 more buyers reached town
yesterday, making nearly 4000 now in
the city Although yesterday was a
holiday most of the large wholesale
houses were compelled to keep open
all day because of the great number
of buyers in the city. The winter
goods season which is supposed to
close in January has been lengthened
and many large orders are reported
as placed yesterday. Merchants and
buyers from the west report a great
increase of business in that section of
the country and predict a speedy re
turn of the full volume of trade which
was interfered with by the financial
flurry last fall. .;..;
