Parties of young people from neighboring towns express their in- tention of driving over for the event and Bismarck people are responding generously. Gifted Singer Invited A party from Wilton will drive down for the dance and an interesting fea- ‘ture of the evening’s enjoyment is that an invitation has been extended Miss Joan Gallaher, a guest of Wilton friends from Spokane, to sing on the roof garden during the evening. Many patrons who are not fond of dancing will be delighted to know that this gifted Spokane lady is to be with us. Miss Gallaher, who is a graduate of the Royal Academy of London, sang in many parts of the world during the war and has since established a studio in. Spokane. She has sung in grand opera for several seasons and is sol- cist also, in the First Christian Science church of Spokane. This young artist has many interesting stories to tell about her work with the soldier boys. Mrs. G. W. Stewart of Wilton is planning the coming of the Wilton party as one of the social events hon- oring Miss Gallaher. Hostesses selected Hostesses of the evening will be Miss Henricka Beach, president of the club, Dr. Fannie Dunn Quain, Dr. Bolton-Henry, Mrs. J. A. Halgren, Mrs. A. M. Christianson, Mrs. Beulah Rob- inson Dow, and Mrs. Annie Price Barnes, and Miss Hazel Nielson.

Stanton, Miss Runey, Miss Hen- dershott, and Miss Catherine Mos- brucker| Bismarck people will enjoy the evening planned for the benefit of the children’s library, to be opened torm- ally on Sept. 6, and to'add to the swim- ming ppol fund. By Newspaper Enterprise. . Minneapolis, Aug. 24—Meet the best postmaster in America—E. A. Purdy. - Purdy runs the Minneapolis postof- ice, He’s a Democrat—plugged hard for Wilson for president in 1912 and was rewarded with the postmastership in 1914. He has done such a good job of it that not only is Postmaster Gen- eral Will Hays going to retain him, if possible, but Hays has taken him to Washington to give the department: pointers on how postoffices should he run. “A postoffice ought to be more than a place to buy a postage stamp or call for a letter,” said Purdy, the day ie took office. And he started out to make it so. How He Did It. How? Well, for one thing he put. a quietus on a general movement in the direction of still higher rents in Minneapolis. The rent hogs were clamoring for more; their “wolf cry” was a “housing shortage.” P. M. Purdy just had the mail car- tiers count the empty houses and flats. They did it in two days—and found 1,500. The “housing shortage” was’‘a myth. Did rents go up? No. People found it cheaper to move than to pay higher rent. Any postmaster with the right pub- lic spirit and an equal amount of pep can do as much for the rent-ridden tenants of his bailiwick. Purdy has done a lot of other pro- gressive things to the rusty old post- office machine. Among them he: Fela aceon ogee age RES a a | The completeness of the dis- Coen a ae eee ta ak a _play is the result of careful se- lection of modes, which have been chosen for individual be- comingness and exclusiveness.., This: showing as a whole, de- ‘serves your viewing, if for no other reason than to see what the correct millinery fashions “They'll not only work faster, but for Fall are.
