PROGRESSIVE WHIST PARTY
Mir. and Mrs. w. F. DermOnt
 Pleasantly Entertain

On Thursday evening at 1.-The Pines, ,"the beautiful suburban home of Mir. and Mrs. W. F. Dermont, large number of their friends were congregated and enjoyed several games of whist. Beautifully en- graved invitations had been issued, and all who found it possible so to do availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to join the merry throng.
 The host and hostess met each arrival at the door, extending them a hearty welcome, and were assisted by Miss Lindstrom and Mir. Wente, who distributed a beautiful rose with each tally card to be used in the games to follow. After all had arrived the game of whist was en- joyed in the Indian room, which occupies the whole basement of the house. There seventeen tables had been prepared for the players, and over each the number was formed from some article of an Indians paraphernalia, such as arrows, quirts. beaded belts, etc. Without wishing to be personal, we desire te say that the collection of Indian curios there displayed is the most elaborate private collection we have ever seen.
 The cards used in the games were beautiful decks, with gilded edges and Indian head backs. The place and tally cards were also signi6- cantly decorated with Indian de- signs and scenes. There being but one tally card at each table, the lady who won the last game was entitled to retain it as a souvenir. For the ladies, Mrs. L. A. Evans won first prize, beautifully bound volume, ''The Song of Hiawatha," while for the gentlemen Dr. P. A Melick was awarded similar prize As a contestant for the least num- Der of games Mrs. Albert Lebsch was fortunate. securing the beauti- full story Ramona" MT. A. R. Kilgore having the least games among the gentlemen to his credit was awarded similar set.
 After congratulations had been extended the winners of the prizes all repaired to the main floor of "The Pines," where delicate lunch con was already spread. While the guests were enjoying themselves in this wise, they were also treated to one of Mir. Alex Johnston's beau tifully rendered vocal solos, he be- ing accompanied by Miss Irene Johnston.
