One of the most pleasant little parties
given in the city this season was that
given by Miss Lucille Francis to her
little girl friends and ~playmates, last
Friday afternoon from four to six
o'clock. There were tw~enty-seven OF
the cherry and pretty little ones in at
tendance and to say that they had a
good time does not at all express the
full idea Of the pleasures that they en-
joyed. Miss Lucille was assisted by
Misses Pauline Topp and nellie Mclean,
who first served delicious pineapple lem
onade and then afterwards in the after
noon pleasure plainly showed that they
had taken lessons and fully understood
their part. Mrs. Francis assisted by
Misses Florence Wylie, Katy and Clara
Topp, had prepared a nice feast OF deli
cious ices and cakes, which were served
on tables arranged under the shade OF
the trees on the lawn. The chattering
and yivacious little ones paid it the com
pliment of eagerly %devouring it and
telling Mrs Francis how fine it was and
how pleasant the occasion had been.
All in attendance were delighted and
went away with most pleasant impress
sions of the occasion.
