The good people of Vermont must
have been surprised when they read
that their annual reunion would take.
place last evening and there was
doubtless a hunting up of invitations
to verify the date. 1t is to be hoped
that they all believed the card which
Association Of Minnesota would hold
it's fourteenth annual reunion at the
Nicollet hotel Monday evening, Feb.
20. Dates were sadly mixed yester-5
day on the calendar of the society edi-
tor, but deeply as the mistake is re-
in the thought that last night when
one of the committee was extending an
invitation to a prominent VermO to
take part in the after dinner speeches,
the prominent Vermonter remarked
mildly: isn't the invitation a little
late? see by the paper that the
banquet is taking place this evening.
The committee is very anxious that
all Vermont people shall be present
at the reunion and as some names
may have been overlooked in sending
out the invitations. as is so often the
case in making out large list, 1T is
hoped that any who have failed to re-
ceive cards will communicate with
Charles M. Drew, New York Life
building, who is the secretary and
treasurer.
Yesterday afternoon the Misses
Catherine Payne and Julia Drew en-
tertained a group of their girl friends

For ten years Zuhrah Ladies have
had their annual ball on Washing
toms Birthday and the affair last
evening was the prettiest Of the ten.
The ballroom in Masonic Temple was
hung with flags and huge picture Of
Washington draped in flags was placed
over the stage. Above was the Ma
sonic emblem in red and white mean
decent lights, while flags draped
each window and hung in graceful
festoons from the balcony.
The guests were greeted by Messrs.

Powder and patches are SO becoming
to every woman that it is strange that
we do not have asbal poudre every now
and then. Washington's Birthday
furnishes an excuse for following this
stately old custom and the women of
the Isledale club had an added dignity
stripes in Johnson's hall last evening.
The ballroom was hung with bunting
and tiny cherry trees and flags decked
the long supper table, which was
lighted with red and white tapers in
fashioned brass candelabra. Mrs.
S. G. Noble was the mistress of cere-
monies. W

the decoration and ices in the form of
hatchets and cakes topped with wav-

The SO seniors from Hamline univer-
sity who came up in chartered car
to attend the party which Mrs. F. A.
Watson Of Irving avenue S., gave for
her niece, Miss Florence Wells, en-
joyed the Washington accessories and
the Washington games enormously.
Mrs. Watson was assisted in looking
after the pleasure of the guests by
Mrs. Sumner Couch and Mrs. Metz.

charming Washington luncheon yes

The table decorations were yellow
at the dinner at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Edgar Rhodes on Pleasant
avenue, last evening. The. affair cele-
brated the tenth anniversary of
Founders day of the Delta Delta Delta
sorority, and covers were laid for
twenty-six.
1t must be so convenient to live in

Portland avenue was asked where he
resided yesterday ooh. around the
corner from Dan Patch he answered
and everybody knew. s.
BY the way it has been great grief
to the Savage children that they have
not been able to have Dan Patch
hitched to their bob this winter so
! that they could take their small
friends for ride behind the famous

no reason why they should not drive a
