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.

If you can not come around to the Pythian Hall to-morrow night, send your twenty-five cents just the same.
