Filben Valentine Social.
One of the most delightful gatherings of the
season was the valentine social held at the
residence of Rev. Thomas Filben, 1888 Jackson
street, on February IA, where the members of
the First NJ. E. Church and their friends spent
most enjoyable evening.
Cupid had stationed two bewtching lieuten-
ants at the door, and while one fastened a
golden heart to the sleeve of each single gen.
tleman the other received the valentines and
placed them in the valentine box" whence
they were distributed later on in the evening
Not little merriment and anxiety were oc-
casloned by cleft hearts, which were given to
each person upon entering the parlors Half
OF verse of sentiment was written on each
one and all were compelled to seek the COM
pleung half, which, once discovered deter
mined the partners for supper. Too much
praise cannot be given to the Misses Bruce and
Mrs. Fllben, who so successfully planned and
carried out the evenings enjoyment. An ad-
mission fee of % cents was. requested and
goodly sum was realized for the Polk-street
Sunday school, which is affiliated with the
Powell-street NJ E. Church.
