Another surprise party was given at
the Dunn residence last evening. 1t
was on Miss Mamie Dunn this time, and
about fifty of her friends met there and
held full sway the most of the night.
They came well prepared with delicious
cakes, ice cream, sandwiches, ETC., and
after few hours of pleasant pastime,
prepared the table for grand spread.
/ Toasts were responded to suitable for
the occasion, as Miss Dunn is about to
| depart for San Francisco, and a general
good time was had. The evening was
spenE in games, music and dancing, and
at late hour the happy group de-
parted, wishing Miss Dunn much hap
piness in her future home.

Turner Hall looked prettier last night
than it has for long time. The occa-
sion was a calico party given by the
Wednesday Night Club, and the decora-
tions were what put life in the many
who were fortunate enough to be pres
ent. Many different patterns of calico
were used as draperies. and in place of
lace curtains bright colored calico was
used. Streamers of the same material
were loosely hung from the corners and
sides of the hall to the center. under
which a beautiful floral design, con-
sisting Of several baskets of flowers,
smilax, ETC., was suspended. The mu-
sic-stand was also a mark of beauty,
with its various potted plants. Back of
this and on the wall was hung a large
painting, representing Lake Tahoe and
its surroundings. Two large American
flags also made this part of the hall
conspicuous. The most welcome spot in
the hall, thoughs was the lemonade
BOOTH This was an elaborate design,
and was placed in front of the two cen
ter doors, at the entrance to the hall IT
was made wholly of different-colored
calicoes, and lemonade, cake, candies,
etc, were served there. Owing to the
inclement weather there was not a full
attendance. Some of the ladies We're
attired in neat dresses of calico, others
wore shirt waists, and the gentlemen,
in order to carry out their part, wore
neglige shirts and neckties to match.

affair and thoroughly enjoyable. The
