Miss Alma Howell delighted her
young friends last night by giving
most enjoyable entertainments at the
home of her parents on Third street.
A feature of the evenink was the
presidential game. The victer
was Miss Lena May Hardy. Butthe
greatest thing of all was the cutting
of large number of fine water

this part of the program was greatly
enjoyed. 1t was a most delightful
evening and Miss Alma made a
charming little hostess.
