To your home on the hill and indulge in high
five.
Mrs. Ryan's reply was:
He would greatly enjoy that Dickens High
But Peggetty stupid, knows naught of the
game,
She would bring to her partners defeat and
such shame;
That with rage and chargin, they would GER
tainly burst,
So we send our regrets for the night of the first.
That of Mr.. and Mrs. Boggs:
Yes, we will come, we will surely be there,
With smiles on our faces and curls in our hair
To play cards with PickWick and other knights
too,
Who may be assembled that evening with you
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Merrell:
"Barkis is willing" yet we must be late,
And, OF miss the fun of being divers mate;
But many High Elves" would gladly attend,
To greet fair hostess and mutual friend.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lynn, being ala Micawber,
the latter was in huge envelope upon
which Mrs. Lynn had painted in water COL
ors pictures of MIR. and Mrs. Micawber and
the twins" Several acceptances were in
paraphrases Of Dickens prose, all appro-
pirate. Refreshments were served excel
iently, and during the evening lemon ice
was dispensed. The house decoration con-
sisted of potted plants and cut flowers, dis
tributed about in every available place.
There were thirteen tables, each table be-
ing named for one of Dickens works. The
four players at each table were two male
and two female characters from the book
from which the table was named. The
guests on their arrival were each presented
with q hand-painted autumn leaf for q
counter (the work of Mrs. Stephens sis
teri, and with card upon which the name
OF the character the guest was to represent
was written. Finding the tables to which
the characters belonged occasioned great
deal OF amusement and tested the guests
knowledge of Dickens. Each guest kept
his name throughout the evening, and his
score was kept in his character name.
After nine games were played refresh
ments were served. After the refreshments
were served the guests assembled in the
large livlng-room in one end of which is q
