Last Saturday afternoon Miss Shoe
maker entertained the Penelope club very
pleasantly. The members not being in
an industrious mood, their work was
soon thrown aside, music and fortune
telling taking its place for the time being.
So rapidly did the time pass in this way
that the hands of the clock were nearing
z when the meeting finally broke up. Miss
Roeser was the only invited guest pres
ent.
The Whist club was entertained in a
very charming manner at the residence
of Senator and Mrs. Babcock last Friday
evening. Miss Fraser and Mrs. Gray
were the invited guests. The prizes be-
slowed upon the fortunate winners were
two beautiful hand painted hina plates,
decorated by Mrs. b. b. Kelly, to Mrs. A..
c. Tompkins, and to Mr.. Williams pair
of silver cuff buttons. Judge and Mrs.
Goss will entertain the club this week.
The Penelope club met with Miss May
Mccormick on Thursday, when a very en-
joyable afternoon was spent. The in-
vited guests present were Miss Cohin and
Miss Roeser. The club has been enter
tanned now by nearly all its members,
Miss Panton, whose turn will come next,
being the last one on the list. Immedi-
ately after Lent, however, il is expected a
new series will be begun.
There assembled at Miss Shoemaker's
rooms on Monday evening those whom
Mrs. Roeser had entertained last week,
their purpose being to make a party call
at Mrs. O'DonnelPs, and at the same tiAe
to give Miss .Roeser a pleasant surprise.
The evening was spent with music, con-
undrums and conversation. Refresh
ments were served about 10 O'Clock,
shortly after which the callers took their
departure. They were the Misses Chris
Fraser, Annie Jones, Edith Matheson,
Beatrix Matheson, Cora Mccormick, May
Mccormick, Panton, Rixon and Shoe
maker.
The following ladies were entertained
by Mrs. Toole in a very agreeable manner
one evening last week: Mesdames Fields.
Fish, Graham, Hungerford. Lamport,

and Wilkinson. The evening was spent
with music and conversation and delicious
refreshments were served at IL.
A very enj oyable evening was spent by
the Chautauqua circle at the homo of Mr..
and Mrs. Donovan last Monday. The
next meeting will be held at Mrs. r. S.
Panton's, and the quotations on that
occasion will be taken from Moore's
poems.
On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Becker
gave very pleasant tea, to which she in
vited n number of her friends. A couple
of hours were spent doing fancy work and
with agreeable conversation, and at 3
o'clock dainty refreshments were served.

son, Mccormick, Moss, Shoemaker and
Woodson.
A delightful party was given by Miss
Shoemaker on tuesday evening in honor
of Miss Roeser, who intends TO leave on
Monday for Chicago. Whist was tho
principal diversion of the evening. The
plan taken for assigning the different
places at the tables was a very novel one.
The hostess sat down at the piano and
played over a number of well known airs,
such as "Nellie Grey" America" zone
More River to Cross" etc. The guests
were given cards and pencils and as each
air was played, they wrote what they
thought il was on their cards. The four
guessing the greatest number of airs cor
rectly we're placed at the head table aud
SO on with the others. Those so unfortu-
nate as to have no ear for music OF course
going to the foot table. Miss Fraser scor-
ing the largest number of points received
the head prize. very pretty silver calen-
dar, while a book of Montana wild flowers
was presented TO Mr.. Gagnon, to console
him for having the smallest number of
points of any one in the room. The re-
freshments served were particularly de-
licious. Those present we're: Misses
Roeser, Fraser, Cora Mccormick. Annie
Jones, Soule and Tess Mccormick.
