Thursday evening, in honor of Miss
Mills and Miss Waldo, of Kansas City,
and Miss EIkins, of Columbia, Mo. Each
guest was requested to bring a bundle
'slarge, small or unique and the will
~ingness with which the request was COM
piled was proof that there are numerous
fertile brains in the city. Miss Teasdale
and Miss Stern drew for the prize given
for the largest bundle, the former win
| ming. Miss Teasdale's bundle contained
a coffin in which reposed a grinning
skull and shrouded corpse representing
the remains of Spain, and when an
epitaph was read the starry amer was
raised over the grewsome arrangement:
| Miss Storms bundle contained the "World
Fenced In Frank Hudson's package
came il first for the unique, being en-
titled .Mustered In" a box of mustard
filed with ten soldiers. A. L. Coding-
tons ''Chip of the Old Block" was
awarded the hpnors as the smallest.
The other bundles. all of them original,
furnished much amusement for the
guests. After the bundles had all been
examined and prizes awarded, Mrs.
Laughlin brought out the bundle of
the evening, so the young folks de-
clared, an enticing lunch. There were

The plays given last night at the court
house by Miss Gulliford and the friends
whom she wishes publicly to thank,
highly delighted the full house that as
sembled to enjoy the treat provided.
The stage was elegantly decorated with
the bright national colers, and the play
was mounted in the most exquisite
manner, with flowers in lavish profu-
sion. Too much praise cannot be given
to the ladies who assisted. Mrs. PILL
cody was most ably p%ersonated by Miss
Cole, from Chicago, while Miss Hortense
McKenzie's representation of Mrs.
O'Scuttle fairly took the house by storm.
1t may be supposed that the Mrs. Boun-
Ger and SarahBlunt of the fair beneticiare
left nothing to be desired. The difficult
and intricate characters of the much
drowned Box and O'Scuttle were most
admirably rendered by Mr.. E. Staab;
and Mr.. Andrews version of the jealous
Pillicody was first rate. Cordial thanks
are due to Mr.. Ireland and all who as
sisted in gathering the intelligent and
app%reciative audience.
