MRS. HENLEY'S WHIST PARTY
The SWEETEST Social Event of the Mid.
Winter Season.

Winter Season.
Twin City hall on last Wednesday
evening was the scene of one of the
most delightful social functions of the
season, the occasion being the whist
party given by Mrs. V. J. Henley.
The hall had undergone a wonderful
charge of the affair and the beautiful
decorations were not the least pleas
ing feature of the occasion. In the
center of the hall there was very
large Turkish rug and in the center
of the rug was handsome large table
embelished with a beautiful center
piece and a tall vase containing a
huge bouquet of pink roses and mar
cisses. On other tables about the
room were large vases and jardiniers
of pink carnations and American
Beauties with back grounds Of ferns.
Handsome easy chairs and rockers
surrounded the center table which
were occupied by those who did not
play cards.
When the game was called there
were eighteen tables in large circle
around the hall and as the ladies were
handsomely gowned and the gentle
men generally in full dress, the scene
was a pleasing one to witness. The
game was started about $3.50 o'clock
and lasted until 100 when refresh
ments were served. Each table was
covered with handsomely embroid-
cred cloth. The menu consisted OF
oyster patties, finger rolls, pickles,
olives. coffee, cakes, tea waters and
sensations of the four suits in deck
of cards. The ice cream was served
in individual forms representing the
aces of each of the suits, the cards
being formed of white cream and the
spots of red or chocolate-colored
cream, presenting a novel and appro-
pirate design. While the refresh
ments were being served the guests
were highly entertained with some
splendid selections by the famous
Coleridge-Taylor Quartet which were
heartily applauded. After the refresh
ments the announcement was made
that Mrs. George Wills. Miss Ella
Charleston, Mr.. Irving Williams and
| Mr.. Clarence Smith had tied for first
prize. They cut the cards to learn
who should take the prize and Mrs.
Geo. Wills won and was presented a
handsome rose jar. Mrs. G. A. Mason
won the BOBBY prize, a pretty deck OF
cards in a leather case: making the
same resemble prayer book.
Mrs. Henley made very pleasant
hostess and everyone expressed a
sentiment of delight at being present.
The party was doubtless the largest
card party ever given in st. Paul.
