LINCOLN COUNTRY ( LUB RINGER
NEW YEAR'S EVE NITE wa . a thrill-provider to the pleasing
throng of professional and business men and women and members o!
the younger H present at the Lincoln Cornfry Club house on Simp
son Road Despite a late start, the affair turned out to be personified
paprika. .1 N"ul Montgomery, pen hi d on that rickety stool, whipped
those ivories till they tinkled like glass His hired hands were "right.”
Those troys took their wind instruments and "blew up a storm.” Edwin
Driskell goosed" that sax till it burst, into laughter Lawrence Walker
got "h ippy!" The whole gang scored with that famous Waltz Medley
<1 « * *
THE FEMININES were as inviting as caviar, filet mignon, and
'vhat have you? (And caviar sells at eighteen simoleans a pound.)
Most of them woA? blue gowns, pearls or some other kind of beads, and
a smile. Mrs. Lucile Harden flaunted a gown that played a mean tag
with the light from the lamps lined up about the wall Mr and Mrs.
R. G. Gassett and Mr .and Mrs R L. Doble, were out. and all were
togged for the occasion. The entire family of the Lena Street, household
was present, and in buoyant spirits. Mr. Harold H. Thomas can still trip
a mean pair of “dogs" on a hardwood floor. Mr J C Chunn can "go"
0} too! The Rutledge sisters. Lois and Lawrence were triking in gown ,
especially designated for the occasion. Mr. Howell A Murphy, of tiie
Pittsburgh COURIER, was formal to his finger bp;. and as immaculate
a., an Adolphe Menjou. Mrs Marion Grogan; the charming young
belle from Marietta, who was the guest of the Lena stret Dobbses wa •
a real gem to the occasion. Other guests having more than an ordinary
share of fun were Leroy Credell. Greene Wadley, Louise Parks, Mar
garet Wil; n. Esther Jackson J. W. Brown. Eloise Johnson. Eric Rob
erts. and scores of others.
TIIE LINCOLN COUNTRY CLUB is one of the city's mo.;’
worthwhile organizations Initiating more than a year ago. the Club is
coming to be one of the reception centers of the local populace. Hav
ing a golf links as their major att action, it is only natural that inter
est in the Club should lag a bit in the colder months when the weather
is inclement for golf. But dollar , to doughnuts the Lincoln Country
Club hit.; a stride during the warmer spring months that will make all
our wiseacres sit. and take notic'. The officers of the club arc as fol
