! SOCIAL EVENTS
The Ladles Aid of the Presbyterian
; church met Wednesday afternoon at
the church parlors. 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. The guesU
were then Berved with refreshments,
doughnuts and cocoa, and departed
for home well pleased with the suc
cess of the affair. There were about
100 peoplo present at the social.

greeted by a large placard command
ing them to "wipe their feet and
come In," but on entering there was
no hostess In sight, lnt instead an
