Guests who were present are full of praise
OF the entertainment that was given by

affair was what is known in society parlance

work above his head as he entered the hal.
Some OF the greatest enjoyment Of the

better term. These consisted OF "takeofs"
on well known paintings or expressions.

Rhine was illustrated with a ham bone
straddling a bacon rlnd, This entertain
ment called for a lively amount Of thinking
and was extremely laughable and ridiculous.
Mrs. Michael Keysor proved to be the best
guesser and carried off the fret prize, which
consisted OF a handsome pincushion. The
BOBBY prize was won by John Jackson. 1t
may furnish him considerable comfort in
tho future II he proves to be in the proper
condition.
Every one OF the male guests was pro-
vided with the end CT one OF the strings Of
tho web. When he wound up his little ball
OF yarn he found a woman at the end and
whom he was in duty bound to take to sup
per. The refreshments were served later
in the evening.
