FOR MISS PRATT.

A very unique and novel party was
that given by Miss Bessie and Florence
Reed Monday afternoon to Miss Maude
Pratt. Each guest had been informed
she was to bring some kitchen utensil,
but not to mention the fact, as it was to
be surprise Most of the afternoon was
devoted to whist. Afterwards two or
three of the young ladies slipped upstairs
and brought down large basket heavily
ladtn with the tin presents and placed
them before Miss Pratt. After one mar
ries the practical side is to be met, and
especially the culinary department, and
generally one has not a superhuous
number of pots and pans, but Mrs Dr.
Hoffman in her new home will find she
is well supplied with tin. There was
everything from a broom to kitchen
spoons. An elaborate luncheon was serv-
ed. Those present were: Mrs. Frank
Davidson, Mrs, Verne Frazier, Mrs.
Engleheart Mrs. IVY. Pond, Mrs. Howard
