Paulo aiyting. as ae approaches n § I 0 industrial and city of 600,000 Elaborate Scale Casper society is looking forward with keen anticipation to New) Year’s eve, the crowning sccial ! event of which will be the annual Elks’ ball. This affair has become more brilliant and popular each year and this year, with the interior of the new club finished, the event promises to be an even more pro- nounced social success. All of the appurtenances of the dance including the decorations and | favors have been arranged for weeks in advance and a large com- mittee has been working indus- triously to see that every detail is taken care of. The favors will be a feature of the dance and the nature of them are being kept secret until) the party. Mechanics and other workers are spending full time in an effort to complete the interior of the Elks’ home, Seventh and Center streets, so that it will be in readiness for this, the sixth annual formal] ball. The ladies’ «rest room will be a marvel of beauty from all present indications. This room and adjoin- ing apartments are being fitted ex- clusively for the ladies of Elk mem- bers and lady guests and they will be elaborately furnished in every detail. The private dining rooms! and main banquet hall will be com- PERSONAL MENTION OF CASPER PEOPLE AND GUESTS IN CITY Shelby Ronaldson, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

POPULAR BOOKS From present indications it seems! that Harold Bell Wright's “The Mino With the Iron Door” which came} out a few weeks ago will be the most popular fiction book at the 1i-/ brary here for January. It will un- doubtedly be the successor, though not a very fitting one, of “Black Oxen" by Gertrude Atherton since it has steadily climbed to second place in the hearts of library frequenters. The popularity of “The Mine with the Iron Door” merely shows that all the criticism in the world cannot} shake tho faith of a people in al popular idol. Once set upon his throne as a “best seller,” Mr. Wright | shows no signs of relinquishing it. | It is interesting to’ note the rise; and fall of the tide of books on the| reserve list at ‘ibraries during the} year. In January “This Freedom") by A. S. M. Hutchinson was at the! top while “Babbitt” by Sinclair Lewis was the “runner up.” In the follow- ing month the situation was reversed and “Babbitt” continued to hold! popular sanction until “The Cathe- dral” by Hugh Walpole took its place in June. i “Black Oxen” which was publich- ed in March and which began to achieve recognition in May was sec- ond from the top in June and in July reached the top rung which it con-) tinues to hold. | At the present time “Babbitt” has been nearly forgotten by the book borrowers as has also “This Free- dom" and “The Cathedral.” Of course such books as “Flaming Youth,” “Bread,” and “Brass” have their quota of readers, but evidently these books are rare tn tho libraries being considered either too sensa- tional or not worthy of listing by those that have charge of the in- stitutions.

The hall itself will be fittingly decorated and every arrangement | Will be made for the convenience cf guests. Many private dinner parties are Planned not only at the Elks’ home but at private residences and at the Henning hotel. Between 1 and 2 o'clock a special repast will be served in the banquet hall of the Elks’. Featured singers and vaudeville artists from the east will provide additional entertainment during the evening. This part of the program will be so arranged that it will not interrupt the dancing nor in any way conflict with it. The dance promises to draw the largest crowd of any formal function of the season as in addition to the Casper people who will be present there will be a large num- ber of Elks from Thermopolis, Salt Creek, Glenrock and Douglas.
