BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT
Ladies Score Success in Management
of Leap Year Dancing
Party.
The smartest affair of the social
season in Dallas was the Leap Year
dancing party given by the women
members or the Carnation Club in
Woodman Hall on Wednesday even
ing of this week. Thirty-five couples
were in attendance, several guests
Deing present from Independence and
Monmouth. The affair was managed
entirely by the ladies, and its success
reflects rare credit upon everyone who
took part.
It was a pretty scene that greeted the
eye when the guests had all assembled
and the opening strains of the orches
tra bad animated it into motion. The
beautifully gowned women, graceful
movements of the dance, and the
happy faces of the young folk, all
contributed to form a brilliant moving
picture not soon to be forgotten by
those who were so fortunate as to be
present Stockwell's orchestra of nine
pieces furnished a program of the very
latest popular music, including all of
the ball room hits and song successes
of the day. The guests united In
declaring that the musical program
was the best ever furnished by the
orchestra since its organization.
The printed programs of the evening
were strikingly handsome, and were
in keepiug with the occasion. The
cover of each bore a large carnation,
beautifully embossed in pink, while
the last page was adorned with the
"swastika," the popular emblem of
good fortune. The fact that the num
bers 13 and 23 had been omitted from
the program by the hostesses of the
evening also caused much merriment
among the guests.
The evening passed most pleasantly
to all, and it was not until the orches-
struck up the strains of "Home, Sweet
Home," at 1 :30 o'clock in the morning
that the merry dancers found the con
sent of their minds to depart The
Leap Year ball was successful beyond
the fondest anticipations of its pro
moters, and the fair members of the
club who originated and carried out
the idea have received many con
gratulations and words of praise.

DALLAS WINS FIRST GAME
Defeats Multnomah on Portland Floor
in Opening Game For
Championship.
Dallas moved up one good, strong
notch nearer the state basketball
championship by defeating the Mult
nomah team in a whirlwind game on
the Portland floor, Wednesday night
The contest was a sizzler from start to
finish, and the Portland boys had the
better end of it in the first half, the
score standing 9 to 6 against Dallas
when the whistle blew for the inter
mission. But in the second stanza.
old Ned Shaw unwound himself a yard
or two, and Savery and Fenton and
Claude and Beck got as busy as a
cranberry merchant the day before
Thanksgiving, and then oh, well,
there was nothing to itl They just
went ahead and did Multnomah up in
the good, old Dallas way the way
that always inspires Banker Williams
and Ph.D. Cherringtoo, and the rest
of the bunch, to indulge in that Jim
Pierce war dance. How do we know)
Why, just for the simple reason that
it couldn't have been any other way,
and, besides, John Bird says so and
he was there. For Dallas can sure
play basketball, when it hasn't got
the mumps.
The boy with the chalk wrote some
thing like "Multnomah, 16; Dallas,
18," when the cruel war was over.
The next game of the championship
series will be played on the Dallas
floor tomorrow night Take your
knitting and go early, or you may
not be lucky enough to get a seat.
Miss Bessie Splawn died at 8:30
o'clock last night after a long illness

we shall probably give our readers the
contents of this pamphlet on the
homeopathic plan. We don't believe
they could stand it all in one dose.

WISE TALKS
BY U. S. LOUOHARY'S
OPFICE BOY.
You've often heard folks make this
remark : "If it wasn't for eating we'd
soon be rich I" I guess eating is the
first law of Nature. What would
merchants and manufacturers and the
millions of working men and women
do for a living if everybody quit eat
ing? Besides half tbe pleasure in life
is in sitting up to the tempting viands
with which we satisfy our appetites.
The people that don't eat well, don't
half live. Pa says he didn't know
what good living was till he came to
Dallas, and I got my job with U. 8.
Loughary. We surely have the dandi
est assortment of good things to eat of
any store around. Have you thought
particularly about your Sunday din
ner this week? The walk down to the
store and satisfy yourself that we al
ways have the latest and best things in
the market to tempt the man of the
bona. Wa dont let anyone beat as
on prices.
