Reminiscences were in terspersed with music and recitations, and readings and other numbers made up a well arranged program for the entertainment of those present.

The capping of the climax was the j reading by Miss Anna Snyder, in which she described the situation of a young man waiting for his lady love to pre pare to go to a reception. The young lady was unable to make any progress with her toilet, her bat would not set straight, the ribbons would not tie right, nor could she get her hair crimped as. she, desired, all consuming! time and' it getting late. The young man in question began to fidget and look at his watch, knowing full well that they would be late. In the rendi tion of this Miss Snyder did herself proud, and was applauded to the echo. She demonstrated her ability as an elocutionist, showing that she was able to master the most difficult pieces. The afternoon flew by very rapidly and will long be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be present. Those to enjoy this happy event were Rev. and Mrs. F. W. Brink, Messrs. and Mesdames J. C. Peterson, J. A. Walker, W. A. Dull, John Edmonds, Wm. Brown, F. M. Young, sr., F. M.
