OF her sons, Raymond and Fred, last
Thursday evening at her home on
River street. The parlor and dining
room were profusely trimmed with
hearts In red and white, in festoon
style, and the large front window
having one immense heart was a
pleasing sight to the eyes of the
young guests, who numbered thirty
five. With each invitation was a re-
quest for each to write an original
valentine, to be sent the day before.
These were addressed with the names
OF prominent persons, the Governor
and wife and others. After the ar
rival of the guests, hearts tied with
red and white ribbon were given the
young ladies, these hearts bearing a
name corresponding to those on the
valentines, which were in the young
mems possession. The souvenir of
the occasion were hearts for the
ladies' and darts for the gents, each
bearing the date. An original game
was greatly enjoyed, and prizes were
offered; ladies' first prize, a memoir
andum with silver mount, carried off
by Miss Winifred Hooyer; consolation

tie acted as valentine girl and was
attired very attractively, with her
hair done high and hair and dress
looked unique with red and white
hearts. Misses Tuttle and Emma

graceful manner Supper was
served in two courses; sandwiches,
olives, pickels, celery, ice cream,
cakes, fruits, candy. Mrs. Reid was

Between one hundred and fifty and
two hundred of the young friends and
members of the Epworth League
gathered at the home of Mrs. Farmer,
Seventh and River streets, on Saint
Valentines evening. The rooms were
prettiIy trimmed with hearts and
nothing was left undone to promote
freedom and fun. Candy and valen-
tines were offered for sale; those
booths were soon closed, the supply
being exhausted. A short musical
treat was given, consisting of vocal
solos rendered by Miss Flint, Messrs.
Behan and Stukey, and piano solo
by Miss Pierce. A prize was offered
for guessing the largest number Of
-conundrums; four ladies being equal,
they cut for the prize, which resulted
in Miss Lucas as the fortunate one.
The prize was a valentine calender
composed of four hearts and beauti-
fully decorated. During the evening
ice cream and cake were served.
The band was the center of attraction
for short time, as they discoursed
the sweet strains of music through
out the house. A neat sum was rea-
lized which will be applied to the pipe
organ fund.
