P. E. 0. CHAPTER ENTER
TAINED BY THE B. I.
From Saturday's Dally
Thursday evening" was a red-letter
day in the life of Chapter F, Platts
mouth P. E. O. when in response to
an invitation from the B. I. L.
(which rightly interpreted reads:
Brothers-in-law to. a P. E. O.) they
assembled at the Wagner Hotel to.
partake of a delightful four-course
dinner.
The beautifully appointed tables
with the color scheme of the org
anization carried out in the flowers
and specially designed menu cards,
the dainy box of candy for each
guest, the softly shaded lights, all
served to enhance the scene and de
light the eye as well as tempt the
appetite for the dinner that follow
ed. After the guests with their hosts
had gathered in the places. Rev. Mc.
Cluskey gave the invocation.
As the invitation read Dinner
Theatre, there was but little time
for toasts or remlnescences, or for
an expression of appreciation from
the chapter to their hosts, but they
may rest assured that each and all
voted the B. I. L.. the prince' of ent
ertainers. Mr. Rawls. as master of cere
monies, called upon Mr. W. A. Rob
ertson to define the relation of a
B. J. L.; to a P. E. O. which he did
In a clever bit ,of verse.

Curriculum of Central School
Hopeful of Future.
From Saturday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 in
the High school gymnasium was giv
en a May Day program, the nunSbers
of which were the result of careful
co-operation of all the teachers and
pupil3 of the Central building.
The little May Queen, Miss Mar-
jorle Shopp, made a graceful en
trance, preceded by Byron Halstead,
as herald. Her train was carried by
two tiny pages, Gerald Reynolds and
Georgie Sayles. She was hailed in
song and dance by four midget fair
ies, who then seated themselves at
the Queen's feet, on the beautifully,
decorated throne.
The Queen responded to the wel
come in a charming manner, tinging
n light happy tones.
Then followed one of the chief
events of May day the winding' of
the dainty pink and green streamers
about the tall May pole. This was
well executed by pupils of the First
and Second grades.
Three merry . Folk dances were
then given by ihe same grades. The
children showed much careful prac
tice and won a deserved round of
applause.
Norris Cummins, as the Queen's
Je6ter, was a "hit" with the child
ren, especially in his hat Bcene,
which also gave the ladies present
sohie useful hints in choosing ap
propriate headpieces.
A beautiful Sunshine dance was
rendered by Laura Elizabeth Eaton,
accompanied by music on the Yic-
trola.
The boys and girls of the two
Sixth grades executed the stately
Virginia Reel as if to the manor
born.
The Dance of the Winds by the
Fourth grade, portrayed the glee of
the north, wind and the sunshiny
presence of the south wind.
Two charming spring plays by the
Third and Fifth grades showed mpst
careful preparation and furnished a
fitting close to this seasonable pro
gram. Pupils and teacher's appreciated
the presence of the many visitors
and felt well repaid for their efforts
to please.
This is the first year in which
Plattsmouth has had music in all
grades in the Central school. Many
parents and pupils have expressed
the hope that it may, in-the future,
have a permanent place there.

A Little Talk to Men
But the Women May Read It.
You men are so absorbed in your daily busi
ness affairs that sometimes the home affairs be
come of secondary interest.
You know the cost of living is high. ou wonder at
the end of the month where all the money has gone for home
expenses.
If friend wife doesn't make an itemized report nlon't
blame her. Perhaps the fault is your own! Do you give her
an allowance deposited in this bank upon which she can
check for all household expense?
It's the ideal way to keep' a record of home buying. It
helps keep down expenses. Isn't it worth trying, men?.
