slack Horner Pie Progressive High
Five" party last night, a. their ele-
CANT residence on Third avenue, in
this city. 1t was attended by about
70 guests, all Of whom united 10 stat
ing that they had had a most thor
ougIiy enjoyable time. Fifteen
tables were occupied by players, and
no IN, remembers, or cares to remem'
Der, how many games were played.
The prize winners were Mr., Griffith,
Mrs. Randall, Mrs. I. 10y, and Mrs.
Johnson, among the ladies'; aud
Messrs. Fox, Hodgman, Riley and
Carson, among the gentlemen. The
two ladies and gentlemen first named
were tho winners of the first and
second "high," aud the other two
ladies and gentlemen of the FIRST and
second slow" or "booby" prizes, re-
spcctively. Bat it made no difference
which prize tho winners claimed, last
night, as all were contained in a
mysterious tin dish vr pan about 10
inches 10 diameter, and covered and
frosted like a pie. Through the crust
Of this pie eight ribbons protrudel,
which the prize winners were directed
to take hold of and pull simultan>
eously on the giving OF tho word,
None knew what was at the other end
of the ribbons.
The opportunity for j,king and
bantering thus afforded the less
lucky players may be imagined. That
it was amply ava'ed Of goes without
saying; and j. is stated for fact that
Colonel Riley really believed that he
had hold OF a dynamite cartridge
which would surely explode and blow
all present into the mex. world.
Tho order "now!" bein. spoken,
tie eight prize winners pulled their
ribbons, took nst one look at "the
other end" aud ,hcn-made tracks
for the dressing rooms, the bath room,
or any other place which promised to
afford them an opportunity of safely
concealing their bushes.
Mrs. Griffith got u scholars com.

and eraser

Mr. Fox a chamber set, consisting

toll it himself. Just see him about i,

Colonel Riley dark lantern.
Mr.. Carson doll baby.
The appropriateness OF the two las'
gifts was especially gratifying.
All the gifts were too small fo
practical use, being very diminutive
aud just about dolls size.
Those who had not won any die
not seem to regret their i'll luck quite
as much, after seeing the prizes, a.
before.
The party was really to celebrat,
the ",in wedding" OF the host ant
hostess. But they, fearing that thei
friends might be tempted to bring
rather expensive presents if the fac
were known, carefully avoided al
mention of it. A few older acquaint
ances knew OF the anniversary, how
ever, and brought as souvenirs some
verycute little tin articles which great,
pleased the recipients aud will b.
highly priced by them.
