Kchckahs Entertain Three score or more Rebekahs and as many invited guests en joyed an evening of music, drama and fun at the I. O O F. hall last night, followed by a nice Hoover lunch. The program consisted of a vocal duet by Mesdames Benfer and Sherrett ; a tableau of George and Martha Washington (Ivan Curtis and Mrs. Sylvia Bernard); a vocal solo by Miss Margaret Curtis and a playlet, “ A Patriot Girl,” with Mesdames Templeton, Wehrley, Parsons, Buxton and Hatfield and Messrs. Carl Curtis and H R Bernard taking tin- parts Then came a flag drill, with song, by eight ladies in white, followed by a tableau of the same • ight ladies. Accompanied by Russ«jll Beals, Newton Shipley favored the audience with two numbers on the violin and after this came a beautiful tableau of George Washington and thirteen ladies, the later representing the colonies. With another tableau. "T h e Goddess of Liberty,” and a vocal solo by Dr. Nixon, this ex cellent program came to a close. Assisted by ladies of the lodge, Mrs. Humphrey, representing the Golden Rod Milling company of Portland then served a dandy lunch, the breads and pastries be ing made according to the Hoover specifications, using largely flours other than wheat. The lady cer tainly knows how to bake good breads and cakes. A silver offering was taken for the benefit of the Y . W. C. A. Hostess House fund. Miss Jeanette Little and Mrs. Winnifred Aldrich are largely re sponsible for the excellence of the program, as they planned it and trained the performers.
