by Mrs. Geo. A. silsby and Daughters.
Wednesday and. Friday afternoons of
this week will remain pleasant mem.
ory to a large number of ladies who en-
joyed the hospitality of Mrs. Geo. A.
Silsby, Mrs. H. E. Hitchcock and Mrs.
Il. g. Nichols, who threw open their
house to their friends on these after
moons. The rooms OF Mrs. Silsby's
pleasant home were prettily decorated
with carnat ons. and evergreen slips
were hung around the room with pretty
effect, aud, added to this, the hand
eome lollettes worn by the ladies, with
their joyous faces beaming with pleas

entertainment that made the hours
speed swiftly enough. The amusement

the names of pictures. From the adj
vertising pages of sone popular maga-
zine pictures were cut from the illus-
trated ads and pasted upon cards.
These were passed around to the vari-
Ous tables, around which were seated
the guests, each of whom we're pro-

picture. The selections had been seen
in the magazines for long time and

an endless amount of amusement to
spend an hour or more in figuring out
the titles to the pictures.
AS the shadows of night began to
fall this amusement was dispensed with
and tables were laid for refreshments,
and over the delicious and appetizing
menu which was served very nicely
social topics were discussed by the
ladies. Mrs. Silsby, Mrs. Hitchcock
and Mrs. Nichols certainly made a
grand success of their entertainment
and their guests were not slow to ap-
preciate the fact. Following is list
