A UNIQUE DANCE IS PLANNED The ladies of the Eastern Star have issued invitations for an "old fashioned calico and blue jean dancing danc-ing party," to be given at the opera house on Wednesday night, March 28th. A prize is to be given to the lady and gentleman wearing the most unique costume. There will be dancing danc-ing from 9 until 12 o'clock, and an admission fee of 50c will be charged each person. BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE OPERA HOUSE Perhaps the most complete in detail de-tail and the most unique in conception concep-tion of all the children's parties ever given in Milford was the birthday party of little Frances Ann Sloan. The affair was planned and given by the little lady's mother, Mrs. Charles Clinton Sloan, who was assisted by Mrs. P. J. Adams, Mrs. Edwarcl Bardsley, Mrs. E. H. Street, Mrs. O. E. Adkins, Mrs. Wm. Elmer with Miss Ruth Theissen at the piano. The opera house, for it was there the party was held because of the large guest list, was made charmingly attractive at-tractive in decorations in green, yellow yel-low and white, significant of the approaching ap-proaching spring time. The motif was Spring. Each boy was presented pre-sented with a new horn or whistle and the girls with dainty hats to herald and announce the change of season. March 21st is the date of equal days and nights and winter is dismissed to make way for the merry, happy springtime. The feature of the entertainment for the boys and girls was an egg-guessing egg-guessing contest. A mammoth egg containing numbers of smaller eggs was discovered and the game was to guess nearest the number of the smaller eggs. LaVon Bird won this honor for the boys by guessing 1400, while Mary Winifred Chapman guess 1100 and won the prize in the girls' division. The actual number of eggs was 1S94. The honoree of this delightful children's party was the recipient of many pretty gifts.

THE FIREMEN'S BANQUET The members of the fire department depart-ment enjoyed a "big feed" laBt Wednesday night at Hotol Atkin. The cause for this unanimous decision deci-sion to refresh the already well-fed, husky, gallant volunteer defenders of the public's property, was the result re-sult of the recent contest in the sale of tickets for the firemen's ball. The two teams were captained by Barbers Bar-bers Rothmeier and Litchfield. TheBe artists were chosen to lead the fray, we are informed, because of their possession of the tools with which to force their arguments upon prospective prospect-ive purchasers of tickets. Roth-meier's Roth-meier's highbinders won by five tickets and Litchfield's burly band therefore supplied the vituala Wednesday night. "And, believe me," says Punk, "it was some feed." Prior to the onslaught on the groaning tables of delicious food the firemen worked up a good appetite preparing the equipment necessary for initiating E.B. Jorgensen into the ' -organization. Mr. Jorgensen has a good deal of nerve and a strong constitution con-stitution and was able to sit at the table and eat with the others after stitution and would probably get through O K and been able to sit at the table and eat with the others after af-ter the ordeal, but the fates made a rush of business for the undertaker and so the initiation will take place at a future date. Sam Cline acted as toastmaster and called forth earnest sentiments of good determinations for the success suc-cess of the department. Mr. , Jack Fullerton gave two recitations which were elocutionary treats. Mrs. Beth Ferguson Martin rendered some vocal vo-cal selections which were warmly applauded. ap-plauded. rsi |
