Ladies’ Self-Culture Club
A ladies’ literary club has been organized in this city and holding
regular meetings for some time past. But little has been said of the
organization heretofore and feeling to encourage this laudable social
circle, we took the liberty of interviewing some of its members and
gleaned from them the following:
The circle is known as the Ladies’ Self-Culture Club and is organized
for a three-fold purpose, viz.: To improve the social condition,
develop refinement and cultivate a taste for high-class literature.
There are sixteen members at present and as the club is not designed to
be an exclusive circle, others will soon unite.
After the literary program, which consists of reading the works of some
up-to-date author and discussing current topics, refreshments are
served and the afternoon pleasantly spent. The club meets every other
Thursday afternoon at the home of one of its members. The last meeting
was held at Mrs. H. C. Cutler’s home and Mrs. Mosiah Evans will
entertain the members at their next meeting, Feb. 22nd.

The Basket Ball
The most pleasant social event of the season was the Basket Ball give
at the Amusement hall last Saturday night under the auspices of the
Garland Primary officers, assisted by Mrs. W. P. Eaton. There was a
good sized crowd in attendance and a number of the ladies brought
unique and tastefully decorated baskets to be auctioned to the “highest
cash bidders.”
In one corner of the hall was a refreshment booth, neatly decorated
with Chinese lanterns, where lemonade, candy, popcorn, etc., were
disposed of and on the stage an auction booth where the baskets were
sold to the anxious buyers. The jolly crowd in attendance danced to the
music of the Kirkham orchestra till nearly the midnight hour, when
Auctioneer T. H. Edwards began the sale of the dainty baskets and
proved an expert at the auction table. Much enthusiasm was manifest and
the twenty baskets offered for sale were readily purchased by customers
who pad good prices for them. One basket sold for $3.35, a number for
$1 and $2 and one very luck bidder se (next sentence illegible). and
will aid in liquidating some debts incurred and furnish the association
with some necessary books and literature. Much credit is due those who
had the direct supervision of the affair. It was a success socially and
financially.

Valentine and Beau Party
The attendance at the Valentine and Beau party gives at the Amusement
Hall Wednesday night was quite small considering that the party was
given on St. Valentines night. The Presidency of the Primary
association in the northern part of this city had charge of the affair
and it was given to raise funds for that association. Valentines and
lemonade were sold at the refreshment stand and a postoffice provided
for the occasion. Each lady wore a neatly designed beau.
Azaf Evans attired in white cap, blue waist and knickerbockers,
representing cupid, acted as rural free delivery boy. Many pretty
valentines were among the collection and quite a few of the “mock”
vanity were in evidence. The music was furnished by the Kirkham
orchestra. The receipts of the social were $20.00.

The house was literally decorated with hearts of beautiful colors and
designs, and all present had an enjoyable time. The evening was

strengthening so they all indulged in Sherlock Holmes. Then came the
grand guessing contest of which Miss Mabel Cowan and Burt Burns were
