Eastern Star Entertainment.

The annual reception of the Eastern Star given in the Masonic hall Friday evening, April 19th, was one rare event where all enjoyed themselves beyond expection. About 200 pres- » ent. The invitations requested each guest to place in a little prepared sack as many cents as they were years old. This may have been the reason why a number of the reputedly young ladies were not present. A feature of the entertainment was the baby picture guessing cpn- * test, about all the guests bringing a “likeness” (?) that tradition attributed to them as the subject treated. The ladies served splendin ice cream and cake and at a highly respectable hour the mirthful company departed.
