A PLEASANT TIME.
Sacramento Parlor, N. S. G. w.
Celebrates It's 21st Birthday.

Turner Hall never looked prettier
than it did last night, the occasion be-
ing the party given by Sacramento Far
lor, No. 3, N. S. G. W., to celebrate the
twenty-frst birthday of the parlor.
The members had determined to make
the occasion a memorable one and had
fully succeeded. They had called the
Misses Crouch to their aid and the re-
suit was that the old hall had been
so artistically and attractively decorat-
ed that 1t was hardly recognizable. Inc
orchestra stand was adorned with
ferns and potted plants, from behind
which poured forth strains OF insplrit-
ing music. Behind the musicians the
wall was decorated with that finest OF
decorations, "Old Glory" surmounted
by the words Sacramento Parlor No.
8, N. S. G. W." The prevailing colors
Of the hall were green and yellow. The
chandeliers were handsomely trimmed
with vines and sprays of blossoms, the
lights being of various soft colors. From
the central one were yellow streamers
running to the corners and sides OF the
room. Under the center chandelier, In
the middle of the floor, stood the ban
ner of Sacramento Parlor, than which
there is none handsonner in the State,
mounted on a frame sustained by four
bicycle wheels The windows were
filled in with branches of evergreens,
While along the wall were notices
painted, with vines and flowers run
ming beneath them and masks distribut-
ed on the walls. At the gallery end
was another American flag and a
smaller banner of the parlor, while the
gallery and wall below were decorated
with yellow streamers. Over the door
was the motto Speed the parting
guest" The lemonade booth was tas-
tily trimmed in yellow, with net and
basket overhead and ON the wall was
the motto, Make the hour o'erffow with
joy and pleasure fill the brim." One
of the wall notices, abiding to the age
of the parlor was 1873, more such days
as these befall 1899"
The committees had done everything
possible to insure the pleasure of the
guests and were successful. A hundred
and fifty couples despite the inclemency
of the night, participated in the grand
march and filled the floor to overflow
ing. The officers of the parlor are:
