On last thursday evening tne
spacious McCrsy home received
the elite of our young society and
delightful and original entertain
ment followed the gracious well
come extended by three fair
hostesses, Misses Minnette, Sadie
and Mary. The party was in honor
Of their charming cousin, Miss Flo
McCray Of Columbus Grove, and
was of less formal nature than
reception. The first pait of the
evening was spent in the solution
of enigmatical quotations of pro-
verbal character which were rep
resented by clever devices pinned
to portieres or hanging from
pictures. The guest placed OPP
posite duplicate number on his
card the quotation which might be
interpreted from the clever ar
rangement of letters and trifiing
objects, and after merry hour of
guessing the correct solutions were
read aloud by Miss Sadie McCray.
The gentlemen were allowed the
choice of partners for supper from
the baby photographs Of the girls,
and after selection the young gal
liant was puzzled in learning just
what particular handsome young
woman had evoluted from the baby
that smiled or frowned from the
card. When he found ner they
were taken to the dining room
where decorations were nasturtions
and sweet peas, and between the
serving of ices and cake he had
time to tell her that she had cer-
tainly been pretty baby but now
she was simply. .........h here a
pretty young maid, Marie Steward
or Louise Bowen, came to pin on
the favor, a nasturtion, and he had
to finish the complement with his
eyes. Misses Ruth Henderson,
Maude McManigal and Edith
Engle made fair trio of serving
lassies, while Helen Pond, in an
oriental porch corner decked with
vines, lighted by great Jap lanterns
and made inviting with pillows,
filled glasses with ruby punch. The
ut-of-town guests were DR.. Biddell
of Haydenville and Gordon Arm
strong of Laurelville.
The entire evening has become a
fragrant memory in the summers
catalogue of "evenings."
