SOCIAL aUD PERSONAL
IN HONOR OF MISS McFIE.

IN HONOR OF MISS McFIE.
Miss McFie, who is visiting friends at
Las Cruces and Mesilla Park, contin-
ues to be the recipient of much social
attention. The Rio Grande Republican
describes two of the social affairs as
follows:
During her visit here and at Mesilla
Park, Miss Maude McFie has been the
special guest at several delightful little
affairs given in her honor. OF these
none has been gayer or left behind 1t
more pleasant memories than the small
gathering at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. r. Hagerty last Tuesday evening.
Three tables at euchre had been ar
ranged, and the young folks who res
ponded to the invitations were soon
deeply %engrossed in the pastime. 1t
proved so fascinating that when the
players We're hidden to stop awhile
for refreshments they noted with ur-
prise that the midnight hour was near
ly at hand. The repast which followed
was served in courses, and was both
toothsome and dainty.
The result of comparing scores was
announced, showing that Miss Helen
Macgregor had been most successful of
the ladies, and her skill was rewarded
by the gift of a beautiful hand-painted
plate. Mr.. w. A. Sutherland, DR.. J. F.
Mcconnell and DR.. l.. D. Roger had the
same number of ~tallies, so they played
another game. The play resulted in ia
vor of DR.. Roger, and he was presented
with a handsome deck of cellulOid
cards, each one bearing on it's face a
view of scenic California.
Another gathering, complimentary to
Miss McFfe, was a dance given by Miss
Helen Macgregor at her home in Mesil-
la Park Monday night. The house had
been prettily decorated with autumn
leaves, the effect of which was very
| pleasing to the eye.
The grand march which opened the
dance was somewhat unique, as each
one carried a lighted candle, thus Great
ing a pretty effect as the couples march
ed and countermarched, passed and re-
passed, with the cleaning tapers. The
Virginia reel anne next, and the cotil.
lion figures which followed were al
marked by pretty favors. For one fig
ure, tiny cards in the form of minia-
ture books with the title ~emblazoned
upon the cover but without the name
of the author, were presented to the la
dies, they to secure partners by each
singing out the gentleman who pos
sessed a likeness of the author. Again
partners were chosen by the gentlemen
in a singular manner; sheets were fast
ened to the doorway, and from the
darkened recess at the back a lady
would pass her hand through an aper-
ture in the curtain; the gentleman
guessing Alright the owner of the hano
secured her for a partner. For anoth-
Ell figure, partners were selected
through postoffice correspondence. Each
lady called at the local p. O. and re-
for hat dance, but her correspondent
had to be hunted UP. He was located
by the number upon his favor-a can
celled stamp worn on the coat lapel, up
on the back of which was to be found
the mystic sign.
It was nearly midnight when re-
freshments We're passed; so rapt ir
their devotions to Goddess Terpsichore
had the visitors become hat they had
been nearly oblivious to the passing OF
time. After partaking of the delicacies
served, dancing was resumed for
awhile. The party appeared loath to
break up, everyone seemed to be having
such a good time, but when it did the
visitors all declared they had never en-
joyed themselves more.
