Valentine Party.


Valentine Party.
One Of the most enjoyable
affairs ever given in this city
among the younger set was the
Valentine party given by Miss
Verona Pratt at her pleasant
home on Huron street Friday
evening. Early in the week,
little red invitations were sent
out for the happy affair. The
guests were admitted by Mr..
Fred Robinson, who was dressed
in red to represent Cupid. The
occasion also being Lincoln's
birthday, the rooms were very
beautifully decorated in three
immense American flags. All
sizes of red hearts were put up
in all conceivable places around
the rooms, making a very
beautiful effect.
The Egyptian fortune teller,
Khnu-a-ten, occupied a booth
in the library. The booth was
very tastefully decorated in
hearts. After the guests had
become seated, hearts were
passed, on the front of which
ten words were printed and the
guests were to supply the miss
ing letters Of the word. This
afforded much amusement.
Several tied for the prize. Mr..
Fred Fensler being the lucky
one, received a burnt wood
heart. Each guest was given
a small heart on which a num-
Der was written. This number
designated when the guest
could go in and have his for
tune told. While the fortune
telling was going on the other
guests PLAYED 'Pit" and Finch.
After each one had become
possessed with the knowledge
| of his or her future, hearts
were passed to be filled with
names of flowers. Miss Maud
MacAllister being the lucky
one received a piece Of burnt
wood in the shape of a heart.
The guests were then invited
to the dining room, which
looked very beautiful indeed.
The center of the table was
occupied by a table mirror, sur
rounded by ferns, on which an
immense boquet of red roses
stood. On each side of the
mirror was a large red heart,
surrounded by ferns. -Four
strings of smaller hearts hung
from the chandelier to the side
of the large hearts, making a
very tasteful effect. The guests
found their places by place
cards in the shape of red
hearts, each heart having a
verse printed on the front of
lit. Each one read their verse,
which afforded much amuse-
ment. Mr.. Phil Robinson and
Mr.. Pratt assisted the hostess
in serving a delicious three
course supper. While the young
people were at the table Mrs.
Phil Robinson took a flash light
light picture of the happy
group, which will be doubly
priced in after years.
After supper the guestswere
entertained by recitations and
music, Miss Louise Carlisle and
Miss Maud MacAllister giving
recitations which were very
much enjoyed. Several musical
selections were given. At mid
night the merry crowd depart
ed, thanking the hostess heart
| lily for having given them such
a swell" time.
The following young people
were present: Misses Helen
Noyes, Josephine Johnson,
Maud MacAllister, Mabel Will.
son, Nellie Rourke, nellie Mac
Allister, Verona Pratt, Mr..
