bliss Bergen's Party.
Miss Ida Bergen was hostess to q
merry party Of girls yesterday afternoon
and nothing was left unprOvided which

One of the amusements had at least
novelty to recommend it, and when each
guest had been provided with a slip Of
heavy paper to which we're attached a
penny and tiny pencil, all were cur

written, "A penny for your thoughts"
Inside were the different parts Of an en-
igma, to be solved by the use of the va
rious figures on the surface Of the penny.
