SOCIAL MATTERS

I
 Saturday evening last at the home of Hon. Cnas. R. and Mrs. Drake, occurred the pTettiest and most notable children's party ever given in Tucson. The affair was in commemoratiOn of the 18th and 18th birthdays, respectively, of Jean and Master Chas. Drake. For the occasion the front Verandas, ramada, court yard and lawn were lighted with parti-colored Japanese lanterns, winch with their soft ! effulgence thrown around the gaiIv ! decorated apartments; the long tables glistening under toothsome goodies. the tropical plants and flowers, and the happy children, produced a scene not unlike fairy enchantment. After refreshments were served. tbe childrent passed the evening in various games, one of the most popular beng the sketching of pigs blindfolded. The following contestants drew prizes, and their works will undoubtedly compare very favorably with Messoniere. MiIlias and Church. The prizes were drawn as follows:
 Mary Proctor first prize for girls; Da- vld Hughes first plrze for boys.
 Leland Putnam and Garfield Drake. booby prizes for boys.
 Hannah Mansfield and Lydia Roca boOby prizes for girls.
 Two cakes were also presented to tha company by Jeane and Master Charles containing a gold ring, thimble. ten cent piece, and a button. The ring typited marriage, the thimble, that blessed period when a woman has SUD- posed to have passed the marriagaable age, the ten cent piece, riches, and the button bachelOrhOOd. Miss Emma Hughes contradicted the old superstition by drawing both the ring and thimble; Mss Nellie Canning was the fortunate Possessor Of the second ring; Miss AmeIla Brown the thimble. Miss Mary Wham the ten cent piece; but the owner of the button has not yet reported for duty.
 A few elders who were present passed the evening pleasantly at whist.
