Something New at Surprise Par.
ties.

Surprise parties are not 40 numerous
AS Of yore, and kissing games are not 80
popular as dancing. Theit indulgence
is rare. but, says the Rdtfalo Courier, at
one of these PARTIES the other evening. at
an uptown residence. the junior female
element insisted ON being permitted to
show their brethren soiinaething new.
They had founded a new order, it was
explained, and wished to initiate the
boys boys into its mysteries. They took
possession Of the front parlor and closed
the folding doors, leaving one of their
number on guard. The gentlemen found
one of their crowd a beardless youth--
had disappeared. and wondered what
had become Of him they learned to treTs
sorrow. The lodge being in readiness for
the reception Of candidates, one of the
young men was escorted into the room.
He found four Flushing maidene
standing in a row in the corner of the
room, with chair 10 front of them.
Upon this he was seated and blindfolded
and then told that one of the girls would
kiss him. 1.-The could guess her name be
would I've privileged TO repeat the
OSCILLATION. OF course he made 4
miserable failure, but instead of being
allowed to retire was compelled to occupy
seat on the opposite side of the room.
Just imagine his feelings. when the rext
victim was led in and had been prepared
for the sacrifice, TO see the missing
beardless youth rise up ghostIike from
behind the girls, imprint good, sound
smack on the uplifted and expectant
lips of the candidate, and then dodge
back to his place of concca1ment. One
after another the young men were
victimized. The fun of it was, though,
to bear some Of them demand more than
one trial before the removal of the hood
wink-one, a we'll known physician, not
being content with less than three kisses.
He was enthusiastic oyer their sweetness,
until the sweet was turned to gall as he
saw the boy salute his successor on the
THRONE Of mystery.
