ODD FELLOWS P1W
FDD SOCIAL FUNCTION
For the past several days workmen
in the Odd Fellows’ Temple have been
using all available hours to bring to
completion their new annex to their
hall, which will be dedicated Satur
day evening by a grand social event in
observing the 104th anniversary of the
order’s incention.
Those who will avail themselves of
the coming event will be more than
pleased at the new dancing annex on
the lower floor, which has been in the
course of preparation for the past two
months. The new addition is really
one of the most attractive places in
Seward and is worthy of special men
tion. As one enters the floor from
Ilia street two spacious Uiessmgrooms
where one may leave their wraps, ate
encountered. Finished in native eoior
and with a maple wood floor, these
rooms are in themselves something
new to the social adjuncts of Seward.
The main hall, which will be devoted
to dancing and other public functions,
is one which really calls for commen
dation to the order for placing at the
disposal of Sewardites such a conve
nience. The walls are waincotted to
a height of six feet and affords a
pleasing contrast to the plastered
walls and ceiling. The ceiling which
is done in beaded panel effect, holds
the attention of the visitor tor some
time in admiration. The snowy white
ness of the panels, ennancec by soitly
glcwirg lights lends to the interior a
comfortable appearance. In dancing
spate the lower floor is much larger
than mat of the upper story, ana is
equipped with a rostrum for the mu si
cian&.
Saturday evening the spacious
rooms of the entire building will be
thrown open to the public and a cor
dial invitation is extended to attend
the function. A brief program will
seive to inaugurate the social event,
which will commence at 9 o’clock and
will be as follows:
Introductory Remarks, Cal M. Uro
sius.
Solo, Miss Agues Anderson.
Specialty, Mrs. Earl Reed.
Solo, Mrs. Ira Bailey.
Following the rendition of the pro
gram dancing will be indulged in un
til midnight when supper will be serv
ed, followed by a continuation of danc
ing. Resurrection Lodge No. A-7, I.
O. O. F., extends to the people of
| Seward a most cordial invitation to be
present at the dedication of the hall
and anniversary observance of the
! founding of their order.
