Mis-. Aug. Short and Miss Elsie Emer-
son were hostesses at very delightful
reception Tuesday evening, in honor of
Miss Muriel Full. About thirty guests
We're present. The party was a valen-
tine affair and from the dainty invitation
hearts, throughout the evening, which
was tax, up with game of hearts, a
valentine writing contest and the pierre
ing of hearts with real bow and arrow,
the valentine spirit abounded. The re-
freshments were in pink and were much
enjoyed. The parlors were decorated
with hearts galore. A pretty souvenir
valentine book, containing the names of
those present, was presented to the guest
of honor.
About forty guests met by Invitation
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Ward
we'll on Friday evening to meet Mrs. ].
c. Hayes, of Neillsville, Mimi. as the
guest Of honor. The occasion seemed
to be one of much pleasure to the guests.
A poetry contest produced an astonish-
ing amount and variety of rhyme and
proved very conclusively that there are
very few people but have something of
muse in their organization. Some of
the poems" were really gems, consi :
erlng the circumstances, and many were
bright and witty and caused lots of fun.
Another game was one original with the
host and wa called "The Five Senses"
Tasting was tested by tasting an I'M
known powder (curry} and giving the
name of the substance. Sides were then
chosen and each side went into separate
rooms, with curtained archway divid-
ing them. The sides then guessed at
the shadows ofthe players as alternately
shown from each side of the curtain, the
shadow doing all in its power to hide its
identity and deceive the other side. This
was the seeing test. In like manner to
identify the owners OF the noses which
were poked through a small aperture,
was the smelling test. Hearing was
tested by players pronouncing the words
"Who am II" in disguised voices, and
feeling" by number Of ladies on each
side offering their hands to be mated;
but as nothing else of the ladies was visi-
BILE it proved no easy task for the gentle.
men on the other side of the curtain to
select and seize pair Of hands belong
ing to the same lady, and it was rather
embarrassing to find on the raising OF the
curtain that one had hold of hands be-
longing to two ladies and possibly one
of the ladies his own wife. In the poetry
contest the judges had hard time in de-
Gliding, but finally concluded that the
head prize belonged to Mrs. Aug. Short
and the BOBBY prize to another person.
The hour being late the prizes for the
five senses" were not settled on, and
on figuring up the cards since, the com.
mittee finds that three persons on Mrs.
Cars side tie at IS, and two persons tie
on Mr.. Shorts side at 30. Mrs. Cars
side had 1892 points against 357 points on
Mr.. Shorts side. These will be settled
later.
