There were be tween .'0 and 60 ladles present and a s;Ienlld social time wag enjoyed. .Mrs. llehkopf, Mrs. Newell and Mrs. IX. T. Tuffs were the hostesses of the (afternoon and served delicious Ice cream and cake to the large gather- llncr A rnoBt Interesting evening with highly gratifying results was the out come of the experience social given by the members of the Home Mission ary society of the Newmun M. E. church on Tuesday evening. The social was given to raise funds to help pay the expenses of the minis ters in the Klamath district, who en dure many hardships with very poor pay from the wattered residents of that district. The society raised $3j for this good cause by their efforts Tuesday evening. The most Inter esting part of the program was the telling of the experiences by which this money was raised. Each lady member ' was to earn a dollar and give her experience In earning the same. To nay that some of these recitals were amusing would be put ting It lightly, while at the same time It goes to show how many different ways money can be earned when there Is a willing wage earner behind the movement. For instance, some of the ladles blacked shoes, pressed trousers, washed carpets, etc., and one lady, after securing employment as bookkeeper and working faith fully one whole afternoon, discovered thnt her employer had gone to Port land without giving her the much needed dollar, and though she had expected to work fully three after noons for the coveted prize, she im mediately turned her attention to a better source of remuneration for her services and sold violets, by which means she soon earned her money and Rt III has orders coming In for the frngrant beauties. The stories of the varied experiences of the ladles kept the audience in a good humor nil evening while be tween times musical selections were rendered which were much enjoyed. One of the best numbers on the pro gram was the reading by Mrs. Ilasler. which was very amusing and ex tremely well rendered.
