Society Events
Quite the most important topic of
the day is the Married Folk’s Mas
querade Ball to be held at the Bun
galow Auditorium on Friday, April
Fool’s night. Long neglected cuta
ways, Prince Alberts and frock coats
are receiving an airing and an oc
casional cussing at a too tight fit.
Long forgotten wasp waists are re
ceiving gusset extensions and much
speculation is rife as to how long or
how short skirts may be worn. Sev
eral business houses are furnishing
noses and whiskers grown to order.
While the desire among the ladies is
to look youthful and beautiful, this
frivolity is evenly offset by the stern
er sex to look as grotesque as the law
allows. Here Is your golden oppor
tunity to be what you most desire to
be. The orders are, 'Mask all ye who
enter here.'
Mr. C. P. Adams who lives a half
mile south of town was sitting com
fortably In his borne Monday evening
when some ‘music in the air' aroused
him from his reverie. It was the
boys of the school band who had
come to celebrate with him the sixty
first anniversary of his birth. The
boys were given a hearty welcome by
Mr. and Mrs. Adams and after a nub-
ber of selections by the band. Ice
cream, cake and lemonade made
their appearance to which the boys
did ample justice, as a bunch of boys
know so well how to do. Mr. Adams

Rev. and Mrs. Ira D. Hall were
guests of honor at a farewell recep
tion held in the Baptist church
Thursday evening. The evening was
pleasantly spent over reminiscences
of the past year and a half, and lay
ing plans for the future and many
expressions of appreciation of their
pastor's kindly services in the com
munity were heard. Delicious re
freshments were served by a commit
tee of ladles, after which the guests
departed wishing Pastor Hall and his
good wife many years in the sunset
days in health and glad content af
ter the long years of faithful service.
Rev. and Mrs. Hall left for McMinn
ville where they will make their home
for the present.
One of the jolliest parties of the
reason was given at the home of Mrs.
Rena Waterman on Saturday after-
noon when Master Vernon and Miss
Margaret entertained about thirty
of their friends at a really truly
Easter party. An ideal spring day
kept the young people out of doors
all afternoon where egg hunts, spoon
races and cock fights’ were the order
of the occasion. At five o’clock a
luncheon was served at two gaily
decorated tables, consisting of real
bunny-eggs and all sorts of goodies
Going home time came all too soon
when the young guests departed with
many expressions of appreciation for
a royal good time to their little host
and hostess.
FRIDAY, APRIL 8, DATE SET
FOR BIG SPRING CLEAN-UP
IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Next Friday, April 8th is Clean-
Up-Day. Are you ready?
Clean-Up-Day this year Is going
to be different from any clean-up we
have ever had. and when the squads
of workers get through the city la go
ing to look like new. This is going
to be a real earnest work, and all are
coming prepared with overalls and
working tools to make good.
The good ladies of the Community
club will have a nice hot lunch for
the busy workers, and the stores will
cnly have one man in each store.
This is done for the benefit of any
country customers who may not
know that it is Clean-Up-Day, and it
is necesary that they be taken care of
in the stores. But only one man will
be allowed in each store. The city
folks are supposed to do their shop
ping on Thursday so they will not
have to buy on Friday.
The committee in charge of Clean-
Up-Day ask for earnest cooperation
with the citizens of the town and
country to make the day a complete
success. A thorough cleaning is
necessary for the public health and
for the looks of the city. Many
tourists will be traveling through
our city this year and a clean city
will appeal to them, and there Is no
telling how many people may be at-
tiacted to us. So CLEAN-UP and
be healthy—CLEAN-UP and be pros-
perous—CLEAN-UP and smile and
the world will smile with us.
