At last Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Belti
have succeeded in celebrating the an
niversary of their marriage without
getting caught at it. Wednesday mark
ed the twenty-first milestone, and 9
party of unsuspecting friends were in
formally invited to come and spend
the evening"" which they gladly accept
ed only to find when too late that they
had beer basely inveigled to an ami
versary occasion. After peace had
been evoked from the storm which sue
ceeded the revelation, the evening pas
sed pleasantly with cards and ping
pong. Mr.. Pope selected a promising
class and diligently drilled them in
fancy steps and dances for the old time
ball next week, which feature alone is
declared to have been worth the price
of admission. An elegant lunch was
a feature of the evening. The members
of the party were Judge and Mrs. Car
penter, DR.. and Mrs. Miller. DR.. and

church and their friends were present
in large numbers at the social session
held at the nome of Mrs. PASCAL We'd
nesday afternoon. An informal pro-
gram was a pleasing innovation of the
afternoon, and the daintiest of lunches
, was served. One cake a triumph of
the skill of Mrs. Eggleston, was receiv-
ed with such marked favor that Mrs.
Langheldt's fertile brain evolved the
brilliant plan of adding to the funds
of the society by selling the receipt
therefor, which scheme she skillfully
executed. The same lady is RESPONSE
BILE for the statement that the formula
was originally brought to Seattle by a
Partisan cook, who afterwards sent it
to a Laramie lady. She declares that
it contains potatoes, carrots and tur-
nips, with chocolate filing garlic
being unavoidably omitted. Over five
dollars was added to the treasury as
a result of the pleasant afternoon. A
special session for business will con-
vene with Mrs. Vance next Friday, to
complete arrangements for the st.
Patrick's day supper to be given at the
cottage. The ladies propose to wear
the green and use 1t in decorations,
while shamrocks will be everywhere
in evidence.

amusing feature, and it is presumed
the boys are practising to give their
elders a few points at the old time
ball next Friday evening. Mrs. Cong
don, assisted by Mrs. Jupp, served a
supper to the boys which they pro
nounced the best ever" and they sim
cerely hope Bud viii Dor repeat the
