te 4 xp * BISMARCK H OME GUARD'S SOCIAL ‘DEBUT WAS A BRILLIANT SUCCESS The Bismarck Home Guard’s social debut—its first annual Washington’s birthday military ball, staged ‘at Pat- terson’s hall Friday evening—was a brilliant success. The response to Guardsmen’s invitations filled the big hall with the largest guest list which has assembled there this season. It was an attendance representative of Bismarck and the surrounding -terri- tory, and {t.was a crowd which from fist. to last thoroughly enjoyed itself. The grand march, led at 9:30 by General G..Angus Fraser, found more than 200 couples in line. Late-com- ers swelled the number of dancers to 250 couples: or more. ~The: floor was packed for every number on an ex- ceptionally long and attractive dance program furnished by O’Connor’s or- chestra:;:In addition to several new selections and a group of the popular Throw Open Homes_ . To Visiting Wonten The Bismarck homes have been thrown open to the visiting ladies who will attend the conference on Monday and Tuesday. Owing to the fact that this is war-time, no social entertain- ments have been planned for the ladies, it being believed that those who attend do so for the prime pur- pose of getting all they can from the very interesting lecutres to he given. There will be so much, in an educa- tional. way, of particular interest to the women, Miss Minnie Nielson of Valley City being on the program for one of her usual interesting lectures, that it was not deemed advisable to plan anything of a strictly social na- ture for these visitors, However, there will be committees at the trains as well as committees at the different hotels to welcome these guests. To Montana Mr. Zuger and Mr. .Andrew Miller will leave on No. 3 today for Helena, Mont., on legal business, : Sister tl Miss Elizabeth Berger, Lucas block, was called away very suddenly by the, serious illness of her sister in Kansas. Visiting Aunt Mrs. Fred Gram, formerly Miss Al- ma’ Jones: of Valley City arrived last. evening. and will spend until Monday with her, aunt, Mrs. Zuger on Thayer street. : ah ts Recovering 5 Miss Lillian Gustafson, head surgi- cal nurse at the ‘Bismarck hospital, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis’ has ‘recovered suf- ficiently to leave the hospital, and: will spend a week or ‘ten days at the home of Mrs. Zuger recuperating. i Birthday Luncheon spl’ A number of the High School and grade teachers were’ entertained yes- terday at a Washington Birthday luncheon, at the home of Mrs. N.'B. Fitch on 5th street. The table.was appropriately decorated with patriot- ic colors.
