The Ward mansion wee hand ~semely decorated with .nagnoli, Y ever greens, etc., and the refreshments were dainty. On the walls were hung pho tographs of the guests taken when they were babies, and much amuse ment was the result of the guesses as to their iden- tity On the backs of the gentlemen were pinned the names of great men, and each gentleman tried to guess the great man he represented by the ques- tons that were propourded to him. On the invitation cards were duos of rhym- ing words, and the guests were expected to frame in sensible sentences. This was very difficult to do. Much of the artistic display was the work of Misses Julia ward and Hannah Elliott.
