MISS bl KEN ENlEhLA ms
The residence Of a. B. Buren, on
Court street, was the scene Of a pleas
ant gathering Of young people last
evening, Invitations for which had
been issued by his daughter, Miss
Leda, some days since. Shortly after
: p. M, which was the. hour specified,
the crowd began to gather, aud soon
the guests had all arrived. After
chatting awhile, the children were
invited TO go into the yard and engage
in "doughnut tOntest." The dough-
nuts were suspended from a wire
stretched across the yard, and made to
hang just in front Of each mouth.
After having their hands tied behind
them so that they could not be used,
time was called and every one began
to eat, or try to eat, his or her dough-
nut, which was no easy task. The
owner Of the donghnut which first
entirely disappeared was to occupy a
chair which had lbeen placed ready.
Miss Georgia Davenport succeeded in
eating her cake first, and received a.
prize: a dainty box Of "LOwney's "
After this contest all repaired to
the house and drank punch out Of an
old fashioned we'll which had been
manufactured and placed in one of
the rooms for this particular occasion.
But this was not all, cards were dis
tribUted on which were the names of
twenty birds so transposed as to make
them strange enough, even to those
familiar with the members of the
feathered tribe. Each guest worked
faithfully for fifteen minutes, the
limit granted in which to complete
the list, and as a result about twenty
ofthe young people handed in lists
with every bird studied out and writ
ten opposite the queer looking mix
tUre Of letters. To settle this matter,
those who had been successful, were
asked to guess at the page of a book
held before them, and Miss Mabel
Ready guessed within one of the cor
rect page, and was awarded with
most appropriate gift, "The Birds
Christmas Carol" by Kate Douglas
After partaking Of a dainty lunch,
the guests were entertained by Sc
lection rendered by Miss Marie Van
dersal which they enjoyed so much
that Miss Vandersal was persuaded
TO give several more recitations which
were as we'll received as the first. |
Music, both vocal and instrumental,
followed and after a most pleasant |
evening, the merry guests departed |
10 their homes.

.aining her guests by Mr.. and Mrs.
