lines in pleasant places; and on a
number Of occasions last week managed
to bait the gilded fish of pleasure.
Several card-parties have marked the
social program of the week, ana the
attractions at the Academy of Music
have proved such attractions that 1t
was impossible to resist the allurlng
temptation. Yet. still the churches arc
filled every afternoon with those who
are observing these days of self-deniai
and engagements for church are the
order of the day.
Very delightful indeed was the card
party given Tuesday morning by the
Misses Allyn. at their residence on
Butte street. The affair was n charm
ing one, given in honor of Miss Lou

their guest. Progressive euchre was
the game which held sway. Miss

lime Elliott, in reward for her skill. The
BOBBY prize, a pack of cards, was given
TO Miss Hllliard, with the advice that
che play solitaire. The consolation
