Village Gossip

“I've attended concepts by profes
sions which did not show nearly so
much musical talent as we have en
. joyed tonight,” was the comment of
more than one of those fortunate
enough to be present at the Presby
terian church social Monday evening.
The affair was largely planned and
managed by the young people of the
Sunday school, to show their appreci
ation of the faithful work done by the
church orchestra under the leader
ship of Mr. Czerwenka. The orchestra,
which is made up of two cornetists,
four violinists and the pianist, played
several numbers. W. G. Smith played
a beautiful violin solo, “Old Folks at
Home,” with variations. A loudly
encored number was “Sing Me to
|k Sleep,” played on violin and cornet
by Messrs. Tad Mafson and Frank
Burns, with Mrs. Roy Walker at the
piano. Then followed a violin duet,
Pache’s “Andantino,” played by
Messrs. W. G. Smith and Roy Walker.
Mrs. Matson sang the solo, “I’m Lone
some”; Mrs. Woodard sang “The
Bluebird,” and Mrs. Walker a charm
ing Scotch ballad, “Dinna Ask Me.” j
Mrs. Thomas Hubbert also delighted
the audience with a vocal solo. The
children played games, and all, both
* young folks and their elders, enjoyed
themselves in thoroughly informal
style. Hot chocolate and several i
kinds of pie, with cheese, were served.
The crowd, which numbered about
fifty, broke up rather early, as most of
in the morning. Many words of praise
for the orchestra were heard, espe
the young people were due at school
* cially for Mr. Czerwenka and Mrs.
Walker,
