son being German" gwen by Miss
Waters IA honor OF the Cody Barnnart
wedding party. The parlors were can
vassed, and Prof. WellensteIn's orches-

.ae man in the moon, his very own
self suspended IN the doorway. A
pretty figure was the Lady or the
Tiger. Two doors opening INTO & wall
OF pink were selected by two gentle
men. When the lady appeared IN one
doorway the tiger, painted on q sliding
panel, appeared IN the other. The
Wshbone figure was unique, the gen.
tleman getting the larger piece winning
the lady.

where a dainty maiden sat upon q
cushion IN the center of the room while
al the others danced around her and
pelted her with flowers. An amusing
figure was the 'potatO" where each
gentleman was required 10 take an
enormous potato from the floor by
passing knife under 1t. Much merrl-
ment was caused by the struggles of
the gentlemen who groveled about for
some time before earning their right
TO dance. In the Fan figure three girls
stood behind screen hiding their
faces with big pink fans. They were
discovered and led To the dance. An
exceedingly interesting figure wss the

taking oil one slipper and casting II
into pink lined basket. Then the
gentlemen each secured q slipper and
fitted IL upon little foot whose mate
wore the other slipper. and danced
with the fair wearer. There was the
Arch figure danced with pretty pink
arches hung with fine lines OF
glittering silver. A drOp-a-nckel-ln-
