The AKA's report a very successful Carnival. Someone had a very good time. They lost a beautiful bracelet. It can be recovered by contacting Ruth Finley.

THE INTERNATIONAL CHIROPRACTIC College and Clinic held open house on Sunday, Feb 5 for their many clients and friends. Those attending enjoyed a lovely program and entertainment. It might be of interest for you to know that many of our young men are enrolled in this college.

Vivacious Ruth Finley of McCall St. was the hostess to the Chums last week. June Dickens enjoyed the evening with the girls as score keeper. Viola Lloyd and Kay Brame carried away the club prizes. . . The Silhouettes are always happy to go to Pauline Parsons for their regular meeting. Those enjoying the evening were Bernice Marshall, Cornelia Shaw, Ethel Wallace, Sidney Nelson, Elizabeth Thompson, Martha Gunn, Laura Jones and Marie Stokes.

The Ofay Club had a gay time in the lovely play room of the Leonardstein Thorntons of Danner Ave. when they entertained their husbands after a brief business meeting. New officers elected for the year are: Lois Thornton, president; Jimmie Lee Wilcox, vice president; Tamar Hurt, secretary; Alena Bradley, financial secretary; Willa Mae Taylor, treasurer; Rosa Lee Carter, sergeant of arms.

Personable Jean Biggs Jones entertained the young matrons of the Atom-ettes in her home on Boyer St. last week. Helena Avery helped with the fun and was the only guest present. . . The Tracteurs are always happy to have as their hostess gracious Mrs. Lucie Taylor of Euclid Ave. Prizes went to Mrs. Cora Reese, Irene Rollins and Helen Gillum.

THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS of popular and talented Mrs. Paul B. Harris, Jr. (nee Wanda Parsons) were happy to have her among them for the weekend. She is a music major at Northwestern University and will graduate in June.

The Canaanites of Zion Baptist Church, a club of young people, will have a Valentine Tea in the social room of the church from 3-6 p. m. Sunday, Feb. 12. The public is invited to come and lend encouragement to this fine group of young Christian workers.

Sorry we had to let our hostess, Gladys Robinson, down for the AKA dance last week in Cincy. Heard by way of the grapevine that many Daytonians really turned out in grand splendor. Among those enjoying the festivities of the evening were Miss Muriel Allen, the Warren Robinsons, George Tanners, Robert Taylors, William Gastons, A. Lynn Taylors, Edward Taylor and the Prewitts.

RAVE-CRAVE WITH DUBENNA SISTERS is Canasta.

The Las Senoras had their regular business meeting with Katheryn Smith of Leroy St. They discussed plans for their annual spring formal.

"Life can be beautiful" as no one can deny after hearing Pruth McFarlin with his wonderful tenor voice. The audience was a very appreciative one. They asked for more and more until the artist had to say the program had ended. It will never end, for there will be reverberations of his sweet tenor notes ringing in their ears for a long time to come. Thanks to Bethel Baptist Church for bringing him to us. It should certainly serve as an inspiration to those with a desire to further their music careers.

THE SCENE AT THE YMCA social room Saturday noon could have been any enchanted place in picturesque New Orleans when comely Marianna Harris entertained two of her bridge clubs--the Dames and the Fortnighters.

Who, but Hortense Campbell could have walked away with two prizes. First, for the Fortnighters and second for the Dames. Viola Barnwell won second prize for the Fortnighters; Thelma Clarke, first for the Dames. Mrs. Fannie Anderson, Lillian Grigsby and Miley Williamson were fill-ins for members unable to attend at this time. . Miss Ethel Stewart was the able score keeper.

DON'T YOU JUST ENVY PEOPLE who can entertain with so much ease. Lillian Stewart had turkey dinner with all the trimmings for her club members-the Aristos--on Saturday night. .Since we ate so much and really got lazy, we had an excuse for letting a "fill-in" come in and take away first prize. Nellie G. Callery of Cincinnati was the fill-in. Viola Lloyd won second prize.

There is always gaiety and merriment when the clever Margaret Robinson entertains. Adding color to the regular meeting of the Las Joueuses was the welcoming of two of Dayton's most charming young matrons -Mrs. Esther Scott Carter, wife of Russell L. Carter, assistant prosecuting attorney, and Mrs. Vivian Allen, wife of the manager of Supreme Life Insurance Co.

Guest prizes were won by Mrs. Marianna Harris and Mrs. Camille Anderson. Club prizes went to Virginia Earley, Mildred Simmons and Vashti T. Taylor. Scorekeeper was Audrey Parker. Other guests included Mrs. Pearl Payne, Hortense Campbell, Lillian Grigsby, Lutie Turner and Mary Corbin.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED what happened to that nice young man your 10-year-old used to sweep the porch half the day just to say "Hi!" to as he left the evening paper? That Hi-Y boy who kept your teen-ager going to all the social affairs at the YMCA? Here are a few of the answers we picked up during the semester break: Edgar Ramsey is a pre-dental student at Bowling Green, J. W. Smith is a social major at Ohio University, Frank Venable is a physical education major right here with us at University of Dayton, Benny Pate, Jr. is in industrial arts at Bowling Green. There must be many more, but these are all we happened to run into. Good luck boys!
