enworth, and this afternoon by Miss
| Jennie Lescher.
Mrs. BOnebrake's ChiIdren's Party.
1t may safely be said that no psrtici-
pants in any of the festivities of the
week more thoroughly enjoyed them
selves than the twenty-five little children
| who so eagerly accepted the invitations
of Mrs. Frank Bonebrake to the birth
day party of her little daughter, Clyde
Bone brake, who was four years old yes
terday. From 2 to yesterday afternoon
the little ones entered with heart and
soul into all the enjoyments of a chill
dren's party.
J One of the pretty features of the
afternoon was the browning of little
| fashioned together by the baby guests
| themselves. The children then donned
their carnival caps" received as favors.
and forming in line, enjoyed one of their
little kindergarten marches.
At supper time the big birthday cake,
| lighted with four candles and decorated
with sweet pea blossoms, was placed in
the center of the floor, in the back parlor,
and the children forming a large circle,
seated themselves comfortably on the
! floor around the much admired cake.
! Supper was then served and shortly af-
ter the merry little party babe adieu to
| their little hostess, wishing that she
would have another birthday soon, and
invite them again to her party.
A Baby Party.
Mrs. Coates gave baby party yester-
| day afternoon for her little son, William
Morris Coates. The mamas of course
were invited, and twenty five mamas
| and twenty five of the loveliest babies
ranging from six weeks to five years old
were present. It was a grand baby
show, but as no prize was offered for the
| finest baby there were no conflicting
| opinions.
The names of the babies are not given
as some who have not yet received the
dignified appelIations their mothers are
constructing for them, would suffer in
| consequence.
! Refreshments were served and about
o'clock the guests departed, many of
them from the first society event Of their
lives.
The Seniors Picnic.
The senior class that graduated last
Wednesday from the high school pic
nicked at Wakarusa yesterday. The
boys being greatly in the minority, easily
| prevailed upon the young ladies to in
vite a few extra gentlemen, and party
of forty left the high school yes
terday at $50 a. m, but owing
to the fact that two of the horses were
| sick the picnickers did not reach their
! destination till noon. An elegantly pre-
pared lunch by the young ladies was i'm
| mediately served to the exceedingly
hungry party. Fishing and other pas
times were INDUCED in during the after
noon and after supper the merry crowd
started for home. The condition of the
horses made the homeward journey a
long one, the party not reaching the city
till aalf past eleven.
