The "Violet' party given last evening
by Miss Harriet Broad was as thoroughly
charming as an affair of that kind could
well be. A breath of the fresh spring
woods pervaded the apartments where
countless modest violets were massed
with artisticly careless effect, and in
jardinieres and bowls were great punches
of wild phlox, commonly called "Sweet
William" The color scheme was car
ried out in the refreshments as well,
with violet napkins, cake tied with vio-
let ribbons, and violet bon bons.
Cards were distributed bearing the
following topics of conversation: "If l
were you," bachelors and spinsters,"
and 'the state Christian Endeavor con-
ventiOn." The young people found part
ners for the first by matching the yellow
and violet ribbons, on the cards, of which
there were sixteen shades, for the second
topic by conundrums and the answers,
and for the third by quotations cut in
two.
During the evening Miss Louise Burn
ham recited, Miss Olive Roblee played a
guitar solo, and Miss Nina Morgan
Whistled.
