A VALENTINE
HEART RECEPTION.
Mrs. j. Is. Burns EntertainS Her
Numerous Friends in Ex-
quiSite Style.

Last Friday afternoon and evening
was gala day for the social celebrities
of North Yakima. They were enter
tanned in most hospitable manner by
a charming and delighted hostess, Mrs.
J. b. Burns, at her handsome home on
North Third street. The evening of Feb
18th had really been set apart by DR..
and Mrs. Burns to entertain their
friends at valentine card party, but
when they began to make out list of
friends to be invited it was found inn
possible to receive all at one specified
time; wherefore the afternoon reception
rendered to ladies only, followed by the
evening card party. Both events were
social functions deserving of unstinted
comment and will long be remembered
with qualification by those obtaining in
vitations. The house was elegantly
decorated for both parties with red
hearts made from card board and droop-
to the four corners of each room. Red,
white and pink carnations and beauti-
full chrysanthemums added greatly to
the artistic decorations. The card party
afforded unique and consequently en-
joyable feature in the selection of part
ners for the game of hearts. Upon the
wall of the dining room was hung a
sheet, and placed upon the sheet were
red hearts made out of crepe paper. A
bow and arrow was furnished each gen.
tleman whose duty it then became to
stand off several PAGES and shoot for a
heart. Upon the heart was written the
name of his lady partner. This particu-
lar feature of the evening proved de-
cided favorite. a more convivial crowd
of people had never before assembled
together and were never more royalty
entertained.
Messrs. Harry Baylor, Geo. Vance and
and Warren Erwin were encored sew
eral times and responded generously
with some acceptable vocalization.
The prizes were awarded to the ladies:
First, Mrs. F. c. Hall, red leather,
heart-shaped jewel case; BOBBY, Mrs.
Hamilton Bartlett, q red heart-shaped
lace valentine. The gentlemen prize
winners were: First, NJ. Scudder, gold
stick pin; BOBBY, f. B. Moore, heart
shaped ash tray.
A consolation prize was offered by
Jeweler d. n. Keene, beautiful silver
blotter roller, and was won by Mrs.
Horsley, who tied with Mrs. Hall, for
first place, the former being defeated in
the cut.
