Mr.. and Mrs. John u. Goodhue Ce1e-
| brntcd the Happy Event.
| Beaumont, Texas, March 26.--Thursday
night, March "a, Mr.. and Mrs. John b.
Goodhue celebrated the seventeenth ami
| versary of their wedding, and they maze
the event one that will dwell as a pleasant
| recollection in the memory OF their many
| friends. The commemoration was in the
nature of an lat home" at their beautiful
| residence, "Bide Awhile" on Liberty ave-
nue. but 1t was an lat home" where every
pleasure conceivable to the host and host
ess was placed within the reach OF the
fortunate participants.
Guests were received in the three large
reception rooms, which were tastefully
decorated with flowers from the woods and
yards, roses predominating, while brilliant
electric chandeliers and elegant furnish
ings made the interior scene one of mag
niticent splendor. AT the door Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodhue extended hearty welcome to
each arrival, and as they acknowledged
groom than the man and wife of seventeen
years.
Guests were afforded opportunity to tn
dulge in variety of diversions, but there
was but one in which interest centered and
it was pursued with remarkable eagerness.
Around the walls of the three reception
rooms had been placed forty photographs
of babies and each guest was supplied
with folder on which were printed blank
her pd tn
sive, in order that they might give each
baby name. These pictures were of babies
OF other days, and 1t was an interesting
and amusing collection, some of them
being the mother or father of families and
all being present at the reception. The
entire party entered into the contest zeal
ously,and the pictures were examined care
fully, there were but few in which a re-
semblance to the present man or woman
could be traced. The contest also furnished
no end of amusement When many of the
pictures were taken photography had nUt
reached its present perfection, and clothiug
worn by babies and children of those DAYS
would not be considered Just the proper
style now. AS result many of the pictures
caused laughable comment and frequently
the comment was within the hearing of the
babe who had grown to be man or wo-
man.
To add zest to the contest a prize was
offered to the lady and gnteman who gave
the right names to the largest number Of
pictures, and a prize was also to BE-
awarded to the one who voted as the pref
TEST baby.
The latter prize was won by Mrs. Sill
while Mrs. W. A. Priddie. with
a list of thirtyfve was awarded the lady's
prize, and Mr.. Dan Bartholomew. with a
list of twenty seven. captured the gentle
mans trophy.
The baby contest continued until 1870 |
o'clock, but the interest had been such |
hat the guests had taken no notice of |
line and many cards were turned in con- |
aiming only few names. Names OF the |
Inherent babies were then placed over each |
picture. Then came calculations Of sur |
rise and the quickness with which some |
II the pictures disappeared was truly re- /
After the contest came refreshments |
which were served in the beautifully dec
rated dining room, the following being the
menu:
