asked them to remain a bit, and said
that, he had a part on the program. In
his characteristic Tifft style, he then
presented to the pastor a beautiful
box of candy, in the center of which
were reposing several gold pieces and
crisp grenbacks. The total amount was
over $135. The pastor was much sur

ANNEXATION OPPOSED; MEN’S
CLUB PASSES RESOLUTION;
Club indorses enlarge
ment OF PLAYGROUND
The Men’s Club of Wauwatosa, at
its meeting, December 20, went on rec
ord against annexation of Wauwatosa
to Milwaukee. A motion was passed
providing for a committee of five to
organize the opposition to annexa
tion and report at the Club’s next
meeting. City officials present said
that ’he backing of the Men’s Club
would oe helpful to them as an ex
pression of community opinion in
Wauwatora against annexation. The
resolution proposed by Mr. Chas. Gil
lette, stating the Club’s unalterable
opposition to annexation was then
promptly and unanimously passed.
Mr. N. A. Wigdale, chairman of the
committee on parks and playgrounds,
asked that the Club indorse the action
of the Parent-Teachers’ Association at
its last meeting, which was that the
Common Council be petitioned to pur
chase lis 1,2, 3,4, £, 6,8, 9, 10, 11,
and 12 of the block west of the Lin
coln School and the High School for
playground purposes. It was urged,
Messrs. Wigdale, Kolb and others that
the enlargement of the Lincoln School
and the High School would leave little
space for playground on the present
school property, that the assessed val
uation of the lots enumerated was now
only about $6,800 and that much more
would have to be paid for such lots
if residences should be built upon
them. The point was emphasized that
the city would eventually have to buy
more ground in connection with these
school buildings and that this was the
only plot available. The motion to
support the Parent-Teachers’ Associa
tion’s petition to the Common Council
was passed without dissent. The peti
tion to the Common Council is to be
circulated in the near future.
An event of the evening was the
presentation by President Doctor
Smith to Ray Schoonmaker, Comman
der of the Bernard Diedrich Post, of
a check of S7OO, the proceeds of the
Men’s Club Stag party given in No
vember. It was stated by President
Smith that the Legion Post was acting
in the capacity of trustees for the
Community House and that this money
would apply on the building fund.
The Annual custom of taking up a
collection for Christmas baskets for
the needy of Wauwatosa was followed
and $82.70 was collected. Mayor Han
son presented the cases wha.fi needed
the Club’s attention and called *rr vol
unteers to distribute the baskets.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted on motion of Mr. Wheeler that
the Secretary ot the Club be instructed
to send a letter to the T. M. E. R. &
I. Company thanking them for the
sh.-lter houses lately provided for
Wauwatosa pati-ons at West Main
street and Third and Washington
streets.
As the annual election of the offi
cers of the Club will take place at the
January meeting, a motion was passed
providing for a nominating committee
of five to report at the next fleeting.
CHRISTMAS PARTY A BIG
SUCCESS
The much talked about Christmas
Party given by the Order of Eastern
Star was enjoyed last Friday evening.
We say enjoyed because everyone of
the 650 present certainly enjoyed the
evening to the greatest extent of his
or her ability.
The Masonic Temple was beautifully
decorated in true Christmas fashion.
Festoons of green und red ribbon be
ing used to hide the ceiling and walls
of the hall, Christmas trees with col
ored lights, and oceans of holly made
this one of the prettiest parties that
has ever been attempted in our beauti
ful city. Much credit is due the com
mittee hi charge who worked several
days on the decorations.
The dance program proper was in
terspersed with some very clever in
terpretative dance numbers by the
Misses Florence Peterson, Helen Wind
ing and Evelyn Janssen which de
lighted everyone present and an old
fashioned Quadrille by some of our
terniing citizens, which took many back
several years to their younger days.
Jack Cair. and his famous Orchestra
furnished the music and it must bo
said that there never has been an or
chestra of six pieces that could give a3
much music as this one. We are suro
this is the best that “money can pro
cure.”
The Eastern Star are planning to
make this Christmas party an annual
affair, if so, we predict a bigger crowd,
for next year.
MOTHERS’ CLUB NOTES

portant meeting for business and civ
ics study on January 10th, in the Lin
