"f Mooseheart Chapter No. 75 at Engle
Hall, Saturday evening proved to In
lully as delightful as the initial enter
tainment effort of that organization
last year and proved to be the premier
social function of the present wint.**
The number attending was prohablj
the largest gathered in Eagle Hall a!
any time during the past two year*
and to the credit of the few ladies
composing the present membership i
the chapter, no one was disappointed
in their expectations of a lino even
ing of enjoyment The occasion way
somewhat marred bv the blowing oat
of a steam pipe in the heating plant
shortly after the program started, but
aside from the slight resultant eh;’]
permeating the hall after tin* plant
wont out of commission, the oppor
tunities for enjoyment were all that
eould lie desired. Mirth and goo:
cheer were never more apparent at a
public social gathering in Nome and a
general atmosphere of friendly fellow
ship prevailed throughout. The de -
<rative appointments were superb and
displayed a wealth of patient toil dur
ing past weeks by the chapter mem
bers. J’aper flowers in profusion hung
in vari-coloreil festoons from the* wine
loop of the balcony and the stage end
of tthe big hall was literally a bower
<•!' (lowers and greenery with a "L Iv
or's Lane,” grass bordered and ve -
dant. running through its midst.
Jauntily worded signs invited attend
ants to tete-a-tete in the shaded nook
with their own—or somebody elso’s
‘‘best girl” and wide, comfortable sea‘s
invited attendants to rest and repose.
Flowers were everywhere and in the
center of the wide liall stood the* or
iginal “Old Apple Tree,” loaded with
blossoms and hung with cages of can
dies. The orchestra, composed of
Messrs Leseher and Asprin, cornetlsf
<1 rummer and violinist, respectively,
and Miss Helen Slipek, pianist, was
grouped about the realistic apple tree
end rendered delightful music. As
< hildren are a feature in the Moose or
ganization system of b. nevolence, t’n:*
chapter had devised special entertain
ment features for the numerous little
h Iks attending by converting the stag
into a children’s playground, with a
see-saw and bthcr devices. Here th-*
biddies romped to their hearts dclig’t
while their elders devoted themselves
to the more mature enjoyments. Too
stage boxes were occupied by peanut
and popcorn booths, and an ice cream
booth, decorated in true Jack Frost’y
manner with a coating of imitation
ice. provided refreshments <>f the
lighter sort.
In addition, one of the cloak rooms
was converted into a miniature Max
im’s where coffee, cake and other del
ectable offerings were served.
The program was opened with a
dance by a number of merry faced
children under the direction of Miss
Lyng which evoked much ‘nterest and
applause. Then it was "on with th -
dance” now in the golden glamor of
the full orbed moon shining from the
upper reaches of the stage and casting
shifting shadows across the floor as
the dancers turned and swayed in its
refulgent beams, and again in the full
glare of the brilliant lights in balcony
end dome. The moonlight effect was
perfect and lent a truly outdoor aspect
b the scene. The committee in
charge looked after the comfort of
their guest with extreme solicitude
and if any attendants failed to enjoy
themselves in Iho fullest degree*; it was
not because of a lack of effort on the
part of the Moose Indies. The unfor
tunate break dow 1 in the heating

section and was a brignt and obliging
lad. He was aged 13 years at the
time of demise. T. A.Power, the foster
father of the child was in St. Michael

HARRY HICKS WRITES
FROM FRANCE.

for tin: hard tack and bully beef, I am
going to do to them like the Sour
Dough did with the beans—say ‘“Now
you suc kers, watch mo have a real, big
feed." Since I left Seattle—and it
sure is not for lack of trying—the
closest T have come to a real feed was
the other night. I had two feeds one
after another for a dollar, sixbits. I
am glad I brought some money along
for you know how far this eight bucks
a month will go. They give us that
much and put the rest away for us. I
shall have almost a hundred dollars
corning. Don’t tell the gang for I
know they would want to get some of
this soft money. One thing, the grub
b getting bettor. We had mutton
chops, mashed potatoes and gravy but
I think they just did that to give us
something to write about. But it is
not too bad at that. You won’t put on
any bay windows but you can get by
cn it. i am sure going to take on the
big feeds when I get back to the old
