Miss lisa Hayes, daughter of Geo.
C. Hayes, entertained some of her
young friends in charming manner
on Saturday evening.
That was very enjoyable party
recently given by Miss Lulu Picken-
paugh to her scholars. Miss Lou
has become very popular teacher.
Misses May and Gay Lawhead
gave party to few of their many
friends on Friday evening last. 1t
is said to have been very enjoya-
BILE affair.
Myrtle Hayes gave bean party
few evenings ago, that was a very
pleasant affair, as every one knows,
for Miss Myrtle always does things
in pleasing style.
That very fascinating game of
bean-bag throwing reigned in all its
intensity at the home of Judge Ha-
gans ON Christmas evening, when q
number of Miss Lilies friends met
there to conclude the festivities of
merry Christmas. The Judge was
in one of his merriest moods, and
entered into the game with a zeal
which only subsidized when he had
scored 100 There were present

1t is probably a wise provision
originated by an omnipotent ruler,
that in the management of human
affairs life is not all harmonies,
dreams and festivities. But what
ever disappointment or thoughts of
drearier days, during the year that
has just been added to the cycles of
time, may intrude upon our fancies,
certainly those who were entertain
ed by Misses Bessie and Mary Wal
lace ON Monday evening can bury all
such thoughts in food Of pleasant
recollections. With music, dancing
and the daintiest of refreshments,
the last hours of 'SS were ushered
into oblivion and the deep booming
of the battery at the University an
nounced that the New Year had
dawned bearing for its insignia 1889.
Those present were: Miss Ida Os-
born, of GAINESVILLE; Miss Rose More
land, of Galva, Ill. Miss Lizzie Hi
lands, of Allegheny; Misses Bessie
Murphy, lisa Hayes, Myrtle Hayes,
May and Gay Lawhead, and Messrs.
Bernie Morgan, c. r. Huston, Harry
l.. Google, Arthur Lazier, John Lam
bert, w. A. Hamilton, E. f. Hayes
and Ii. Bruce Watkins.
1t was only few weeks ago that
Prof. St George f. Brooke conceived
the idea of furnishing (?) the mem
bers of the senior law class, and ac-
cordingly writ of Ueniri factas was
issued commanding the aforesaid
class en- mdsse to appear at his ele-
CANT residence near the University
to participate in an action Of tyover
and conversion and abide the judg-
ment of the court. The day of trial
came on and the disciples of Justin
ian and Blackstone were promptly
on hand. The jury had been select
ed from Morgantown' fairest ladies,
whose superb costumes and fascinat-
ing smiles poured a food Of diapha-
nous radiance upon the classic feat
ures of the legal hopefuls, thereby
assuring them that whatever might
be the Nervousness Of their crimes,
at the hands of such fair jurors they
could cherish only the blessed hope
of speedy acquittal. The gallant
~ of the Professor and the splendid
grace with which Mrs. Brooke and
Miss Ida Brown entertained their
guests are deserving Of special men
ton. And as regards the refresh
ments no hurried description could
do them justice. The pleasantries
of this occasion had scarcely ceased
to be topic Of conversation when
the announcement again came to
gladden. the hearts of the detected
lawyer who had remained during
holidays and Messrs. Nathan c. Nc
Neil, w. L. p. Peyton, S. F. Reed,
E. G. Smith, j. w. McCay and H. B.
Tompkins assembled on Christmas
day to again enjoy the hospitality of
the genial Professor and his family
and feast upon magnificent array
of the most palatable table delica-
cies.
Many and joyous have been the
watch meetings Of by-gone years,
but few will be remembered with
such extreme pleasure as the one
held at Mr.. Bert Lazier's ice cream
parlors last Monday night. From
seven until nine o'clock the ladies
with their escorts, desiring to see the
old year out and the new year in, as
sembled. But few anticipated the
real enjoyment awaiting them. 1t
was as the closing of prosperous
and well spent year, everything SEEM
ed aglow with delight and pleasure
1t was the realization of happy
dream. During the early evening
various games were the source of
amusement. At ten o'clock the
guests retired to the dining room,
where the excellent refreshments
were served in royal style by Messrs.
Bert Lazier, Maddy Reed and DIR.
Wade, assisted by our genial Geo.
M. John. The manner in which
it which it was served by these gen.
tlemen deserves special commenda-
ton. After partaking of the deli
eious cake, fruits, creams, candies,
nuts and coffee George says it was
delicious 1.-THE best and all the
market affords, and having their
pictures took" by Prof. Protzman,
the guests withdrew to the parlors
to be entertained by the inimitable
Geo. NJ. John. He, in his own I'M
ique and humorous style, sang sew

half past twelve in the following

with the enjoyment of the occasion,
