THE WEEKS
SOCIAL DOINGS


Miss Helen Rucller entertained her
Sunday school class Saturday after
noon at her rooms at Mrs. Hunger
ford's. Various games were played,
the first being a game of questions.
Each girl was given a bracelet of pea
nuts. Every time she answered a
question she forfeited a nut. Then
there was fortune telling. Miss
Rucker is skilled in palmistry, but, of
course, upon this occasion she told
them only the pleasant things she
read in their hands. She nae pro-
vided refreshments for them, too, and
altogether the girls spent a delight
full afternoon.
Mrs. James Chapple gave a lunch
con today in honor of her cousin,
Miss Marion Panton, who expects to
leave next week for her home in On
tario. The centerpiece was an oval
basket of pink carnations and ferns
on a piece Of embroidery in which
the same colors were repeated. There
was no damask cover, but lace doilies
rested on the polished surface of the
table. On the place cards were lit
tie Gibson heads, done in pen and
ink, by Miss Marion Panton. A quo
tation from a well known poet was
written upon each card, appropriate
to the person upon whose card it ap-
peared.
AS souvenirs of the event a tiny,
pink basket, filled with sailed nuts
was placed beside each plate. Having
adjourned to the parlor each guest
was provided with a clay pipe and
some pink and white tissue paper and
requested to dress her pipe as a doll.
The bowl of the pipe was the head of
the doll and with a pencil a face was
drawn on each. This created a great
deal of merriment and much skill
