\ One Of the most enjoyable events of the
week was the progressive crokinoie party
given by Miss Kate Simpson at her home
on University avenue on the West Side,
aast Friday evening, to a number Of her
many friends among the students of the
High school. The house was prettily
decorated with large foliage plants AMI
flowers, and here and there in the spa
mole boards upon the small tables around
which the merry party gathered and in
dulged in the game during the greater
part of the evening. The many bright
and happy faces scattered about the
large and prettily decorated rooms, made
without the circle. The rooms were all
the prettier under the soft tinted light
from the many piano lamps, which can
hardly be improved upon as a means OF
dainty decoration. During the course OF
the evening a dainty luncheon was serv-
ed, which il is needless to say was very
much enjoyed by all. Among those
presen. were Misses Olive Hill, Fife
