Entertained far Mrs Joe Rodes.
MH. Frank Jesse most delightfully."-
entertained a number OF friends for
her sister, Mrs. Rodes, OF Sedalia,
Tuesday afternoon. 1t vas an
artistic" party. The guests selected
partners, then proceeded to draw a
sketch Of their partner. The result
can be better imagined than deserib-
ed. Then these lovely drawings were
placed in sundry places around the
room and numbered, each n writing
on a card after a corresponding mum
Der the name Of the original of the
drawing. Mrs. Cole, Of Sedalia, very
kindly remained in a good humor
when a few decided her portrait was
Mrs. r. NJ. White 10th wearing
glasses caused this little mlstakel and
so on the mistakes were really almost
impossible, as like that song Of the
coon, ''all looked alike" except when
it came to the clothes for they
were mostly drawn with great cor
reetness, to the smallest detail. Five
OF the guests guessed correctly the
list In full, but Mrs. Wilson was the
one who drew the short straw, 50 was
given a large box Of lovely chocolates
Dust what she most wanted, too, by
the way Mrs JeSSe's refreshments
were delicious. 1t wa a most thor
oughly delightful afternoon.
Bal Masque-
Thursday night the Montezuma and
Central Hotel, first floor, were thronged
with the bellies and beaux Of our city
mostly In costume. 1t was a lovely
sight. While masked the dancing was
in Central dining room and in the
club rooms afterwards. Nothing is
more beautiful than a party in cos
tune, but it does seem too bad that
those who 90 unmarked feel it incum-
bent upon themselves to inform the
reSt-fOh, that is Mr.. so and So"
Don't you know her?n and tell who
she is. 1t certainly is unjust to the
masquer. The management thought
they had arranged the programme SO
that il would be avoided, and it was
no fault Of the door-keeper. 1t looked
to me like one Of those occasions where
a woman took advantage OF being a
woman and did as she pleased, not as
requested. The luncheon was most
p~alatable. Mr.. and Mrs. V. o. p.
King wore gorgeous costumes as Jap.
