a few of the most intimate friends by a de-

There are so many things that have hap
pened since the custom of card parties with
prizes came in that scarcely anything as
tonishes any more, but the following incl
dent quite caps the climax. Not very long
ago young lady from city south of here
was the guest of honor at a card party.
She played successfully the first few games,
and then, seeing the prospect of winning
ahead of her, she made unusual efforts.
She played until she became so warm that
the curl came out of her hair and she was
wrought to pitch of excitement. She had
played many games of cards, but, like
many others, she had always struck an UNI
happy medium, and no first prize or BOBBY
had been her reward. AS the tally cards
were counted it was found that she had ac-
tually won the prize. She was in raptures,
and on taking leave, would not allow the
hostess to wrap the prize in its tissue paper
covering. NO" said she, 'I just want it
to be known that I took a prize" and she
carried it to the home of the friend she was
visiting triumphantly. She wrote home and
to several of her dearest friends that she
had taken the first prize of her life, and
that she wanted them all to see 1t when she
returned. Judge of her feelings when she
received a note just a week after the card
party from the young lady who had enter
tanned for her, saying that she had been
looking over the tally cards and she found
that a mistake had been made closing with
these words, 'Wil you kindly send the

new material for bridal gowns has
come in, and it is greatly used. 1t is Irish
poplin. There are many who can remem-
Der when an Irish poplin dress was the
most fashionable thing a bride could have
But Irish poplin went out when satin be-
came cheap. 1t has now come in of a par
