A QUIET WEEK.
Few Events to Claim the Attention
of Society.
A Children's Party Gives Pleasure
to the Young People.
Teachers Institute the Feature of
the Coming Week.

The past week has not been marked by
undue hilarity in social circles but on the
contrary has been as quiet as the most
purtanical advocate of a quiet and stald
mode of living could wish. Notwith-
standing the dearth of social activity the
week will be pleasantly remembered by
a large number of the younger members
of society, the event being a handsome
children's party given at the residence Of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Robins on Friday
evening when Miss Bessie and Master
Roger Robins were lat home to about
forty of their young friends.
From the time the invitations were re-
ceived until the guests reached the home
Of their hosts the afternoon had been
pleasantly anticipated and the royal way
in which they were entertained more than
fulfilled the anticipations. As the Young
guests arrived they were given exquisite
little favors in the shape of ieweled scarf
pins. The boy and girl receiving similar
designs were partners in the
games of high FIVE and whist
which sooon engrossed their attention.
Following cards came a novel game which
required considerable skill. The players
were given a number of potatoes and a
tiny spoon. The one who balanced stead
iy the most potatoes on the extended
spoon in the shortest time won the prize,
The game afforded lots of amusement and
brought out some interesting exhibitions
OF skill. Miss Belle Draper and Master
Harry Jeffrey won the prizes.
Elaborate refreshments were served af-
ter which the large dining room was
cleared of furniture and a short pro-
gramme of quadrilles and waltzes was
danced with all the grace and dignity that
might mark a formal dress ball with
grown up people for the dancers.
The guests were Misses Isadore Merits
heimer. Alice Richards, Isabelle Snyder,
Helen Jeffrey, Efie Vreelaud. Edna
Nash, Carrie Loeb, Flossie Chafin, Annie
Morrison. Flossie johnson, May Artist,
Minnie Baerman. Belle Draper, Mile
Myers, Lena Mast and Masters Robert
Simple, Lee Schroeder, Ralph Glover,
Fred Mertsheimer, Jake Baerman. Henry
Sweet. Howard Kennedy, Clarence John
son. John McJTlvau, Roscoe Snyder,
Howard Chafiu, Harry Jeffrey, John
Jeffrey, Rex Schnitger, Charlie Nash and
Carl Snyder.
The dress drill and ball given on Thurs
day evening in honor OF ompany f of
Douglas proved a very pleasant social
event. Keeis Hall, where the party was
held was crow led with guests and the
dancing floor was well filled during the
entire evening. The regimen:al staff and
line officers were present and their bright
new uniforms and the handsome costumes
Of the ladies made a combination which
made the ball room an especially attrac-
tive picture.
Pink and White luncheons we're given
during the week to their friends by Mrs.
G. E Abbott and Mrs. NJ. NJ. Mason.
