the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont
Smith, the graduating class of 1901 were
most royalty entertained by the gradual.
ing classes OF 1893 and 80 and the Custer
school teachers. A very pretty order Of
entertainment had been prepared, and
everyone seemed susceptible to the con.
genial surroundings, and 50 everyone
present looked from kind, laughing eyes
upon q scene well worth the mention,
and inhaled the aroma of purity and
love. In every available nook and cor
ner handsome vases holding both gay
and fragant flowers were placed to glad
den the heart; the walls were decorst
ed with colorings of purple and gold and
the air was laden with the sweet, inspir-
ing scent Of lilies and roses. The early
part of the evening was spent in pleas
ant anil profitable conversation, with
often bright, witty remark. when
thoughts became too serious; jokes.
p'easantries and puns were galore since
"Out Of the fullness Of the heart the
mouth speaketh."
When the time for serving refresh.
ments came the party adjourned to the
dining room and there, arrayed in all
their dainty dress OF immaculate white
ness, stood the tables awaiting the guests
Twas an inviting and tempting scene.
A large table i'm the center elaborately
bedecked with festoons of purple and
gold ribbons, and holding an abundance
OF choice flowers and graceful foliage,
received the honored class, and our
friend, Rev. Katherine Powell. After
all were seated short prayer ofthanks-
giving followed. The happy company
then partook Of the refreshments which,
being very prettily served, were other
wise most heartily enjoyed.
Toasts were next in order, and the
toast master did honor to his position
by saying that, "Toasts from ladies are
roasts," but "Toasts from gentlemen
were boasts" The toasts however were
done and brown to a turn" and were
rendered 10 very appreciative listeners.
