ffard IiElr Party.

The Irish club and the Dagos
were very novely entertained
Saturday afternoon by "Dagos"
MesdamesC G. III. Bell and r. j.
Kendall. The ladies were re-
quested to look their sweetest
and most of them had a very
peculiar idea as to how to look
sweet. They all looked very
aristocratic however in old
things that had probably been
in style two or three centuries
ago but the ladies thought they
looked sweet so it was all right.
Every guest brought a dona-
ton for the hostcsses with her.
Squashes, onions, bird cages,
bacon and old clothes were
among the choicest Of the do
nations received. Upon their
arrival at the Bell home on
Third street a scene of beauty
greeted their eyes. The house
was very beautifully decorated
in shamrocks. Potatoes were
also profusely used in decora-
tions.
Portiers made of green calico
with potatoes strung on each
string hung between the par
lors. After the decorations
had been thoroughly examined
and duly commented on, the
hostess passed slips of paper
among the ladies, with some
thing for them to do written on
them. A variety of talent
such as never had been heard
of before certainly was dis
played. Ladies who had never
sang in public before did so
with perfect ease and others
were requested to recite poetry
and no doubt they will be call
ed on to recite poetry at every
program given from now on as
they did it with great credit
Others gave delightful toasts,
some told fortunes and nearly
everything was done during the
afternoon. This caused great
deal of amusement to everyone
except the lady who was doing
the performing.
About five o'clock napkins,
made of heavy brown paper
with the monogram B. and K.
were passed. A potatoe and
macaroni on a wooden plate
was then served to the guests.
The hostesses announced this

"The Museum"

Mesdanes r. L. Linsley and Mrs. r.
a Boies entertained several of their
lady friends Yesterday afternoon at the
home of the former on seventh and st.
Clair, at Museum The Linsey home
looked very artistic in decorations of
red carnations and sha,nrocks. After
the ladies had claimed down sufficiently
the hostess passed dainty green pro-
grarnmcs with green pencil attached
among the ladies and announced that
they would find the names of sixteen
prominent men represented by different
objects pinned around in the different
rooms. With the usual amount of
worry and figuring that generally ac-
companies a guessing contest, the
ladies spent nearly an hour trying to
remember who were the prominent men.
When the programmes were taken up
it was found that four ladies had CUES
sed the same number CORRECTLY They
drew lots and Mrs r. ii Harris proved
to be the lucky one and received a
handsome Haviland plate The re-
mandcr of the afternoon was most
pleasantly spcat in the usual manner of
visiting and chatting AT five O'Clock
the guests We're invitcl into the din
ming room and seated at small tables
At each place, place card with a con
undrum written on it furnished amusc-
nent for the guests in finding their
places An elegant three course sup
per was served by the hostesscs
assisted by Miss Lottic McGavren
The emblem Of the Irish Club, tho
shamrock, was carried out in the sup
per as the rolls were served in that
shape. After an hour or more of visit
ing the ladies departed after having
spent a delightful afternoon.
