DIG IIME FRIIDAY IGHT
Alglers ladies to Entertain for Bene
fit Local Child's Welfare
Association.
To-morrow night at Pythian Hall.
there will be a dance from 8:30 un
til mid-night, and there will be a
children's penny party from five un
til eight thirty. One of the best
Jazz bands in the city has been en
gaged for this entertainment, and the
ladies in charge are guaranteeing
one of the best times of the summer
to those who will come out and
spend twenty-five cents with them
for this meritorious purpose.
The floor will be given over to the
children between five and eight
thirty, and during this time, several
different entertainments will be pro
vided for the little ones and those
who come with them. However.
after eight-thirty, the hall will be
given over to the adults, where they
may enjoy themselves with the popu
lar dances of the season.
Besides the dancing of those, who
come to make the affair a success,
the committee has also provided that
special fancy dancing will be fea
tures of the evening's entertainment.
Two other interesting features of
the evening will be the awarding of
the handsome little ship, which has
been donated by Judge Sam Levy.
The ship is named "Martin Behr
man," and the winner will be the
possessor of a fine piece of mechani
cal workmanship. Besides the ship,
there will also be an enormous pano
ramic egg raffled or auctioned off.
This panoramic egg, of enormous
size, will be disposed of during the
evening. It was donated by one of
our prominent citizens.
The purpose of this entertainment
is to raise funds for our local Child's
Welfare Association, which is in need
of supplies, and other necessities, so
essential to the welfare of our little
ones. If you can not come around
to the Pythian Hall to-morrow night,
send your twenty-five cents just the
same. It will buy bottles of milk
for the babies, and will be a patriotic
service that costs you so little.
The entertainment Is in charge of
Mrs. J. E. Huckins, Mrs. Frank Hy
mel, and Mrs. Ed. McNair.
