One OF the triumphs in the way OF en-
tertaining for this week was the party
| given on Friday night by Miss Elise par
! kinsOn, daughter Of Mr.. j. Il. Parkinson
AS hearts are Jumps now in matters
Of decoration, they were used profusely
! I'm the arrangement OF both parlors ana
| dining-room. A large heart covered with
| valentines which were distributed among
the guests as the evening wore on, hung
| in the doorway between the two parlora.
The red-shaded lamps. that threw a soft
glow over all the lower floor, were stamp
ed with little gilt hearts; the dainty ices
ana cakes on the very attractive dining
table were in the shape Of hearts, and
the game, which afforded so much amuse-
ment to the guests during the early part
Of the evening, was hearts. A gold heart
rewarded the finest player, and the prize
for the second best player was a silver |
heart of the same size. The rooms |
throughout were beautifully decorated |
with red carnations and palms. Miss |
Elise Parkinson and her aunt, Miss Par |
kinson, both seem to possess the talent |
Of making their guests perfectly happy. |
Miss Elise wore white organdie over |
white silk, while her aunts costume was |
a beautiful gown Of brocaded satin with |
diamond ornaments. Among those pres
ent were Misses Bessie Hunter, Sophie /
White, Gladys Frazier, Elise Stokes, |
Louise Purcell, Mamie McCarty, Martha /

the replies which came TO Miss Parkin-

bright and amusing. Among these is the
note Of Miss Nellie Davenport, who wrote:
