The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1905-02-18

| On Tuesday lie fourteenth The
day from time immemorial dedi-
Gated to the dongs Of Cupid under
the eve of the sly old ST. Valentine
the beautiful suburban home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. G II. Atkinson was
festive with hearts and
candles, and hospitality. Mrs.
Atkinson and Mrs. J b. Sparks
had sent invitations to fifty ladies
to help them celebrate the day and
almost all responded. The entiie
suite Of spacious rooms oil the first
floor were brilliant with the sym
bols Of light and love. Large
crimson hearts entwined with
mlstletoe hung from the chande-
liers and from this center countless
festoons of hearts strung ont threads
which were invisible made the ef-
feet of showers Of hearts. Portiers
Of wide red ribbon each ending
i'll heart filled the doorways and
arches, and the lace curtains made
back ground for fights of hearts.
Carnations glowed in competition
with the hearts, and hearts were
trumpsl The score cards we're pin
cushions Of red and olive green silk
hearts for opposite partners and
the progressions were told i'll Jewel
headed pins. Before and during
the delightful game Of whist, in
whicn Mrs. Biggers scored high,
there flowed from the punch bowl
a beverage known to Indian Terri
tory hostesses. The four course
luncheon consisted Of oyster cock
tail, chicken salad with bread and
butter sandwiches, Saratoga pota-
toes, olives, tomato jelly moulded
in hearts and served with mayon-
naise. From Oklahoma City came
the cupids mounted OH rabbits in
ice. cream and accompanied with
angel food. Coffee and cheese com
pleted the delicious menu. Fifty
guests were present. In the even
ing Of the same day the husbands
of the hostessess had their innings.
Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. Sparks in.
vited few men to participate in
what they called a quiet game.
The accessories were precisely the
same as in the afternoon, with the
addition OF the gentlemen.
One of the most pleasant and
successful events of the year was
the Mask Ball given by the Social
Club at Murray Hall. 1t was
novel sight to see the many cos
tunes both comical and unique
Fifty people were present and 10
the stratus of merry music the time
fled too quickly, when at II 80 A.
Blair requested masks off. That
was the most enjoyable part as
nearly every one represented some
thing. Mrs. "A. l., Herr and Mrs.
/ II, Roberts certainly deserve credit
for the way they managed the af-
fair Among the many
comical costumes perhaps the most
striking we're the following: Mr..
1 G.. d. Stapleton, representing a
Weary Willie; Mr. +. Paine, a
clown Mr.. Jeff Wallace, a colored
preacher. All three characters
deserve much credit and they
rendered much enjoyment and
laughter for all present. The ball
room presented a most brilliant ap-
pearance. All of the costumes and
characters are deserving Of special
mention and only the lack of space
forbids it.
