Last night the members OF the

tained in the lodge hall by two ol
their members, Miss HI. May Jeffer.
son and Miss Celia Emmons.
The guests were met at the door
by the hostesses and directed to the
'studio" where silhouettes were
drawn and it was discovered that
every one present had at least one
bump of knowledge. The evening
was spent in playing Din and Ghost
and other games, and socially. An

ing which the guests fortunes were
told In the cake served. Mrs. j..
M. Brown received a button, At.
torney Brown got the engagement
ring, Theo. j. p. Giedt happened to
hook a penny and Miss Jefferson
captured the thimble. We under
stand that the penny denotes wealth
and the thimble denotes that the
holder will be seamstress. We
were not informed as to what the
ring and button denotes.
After luncheon the guests were
given nut shells which con ntained a
small roll of paper upon which they
were to write some Of their expert
ences during their school aud college
days, what they would do If they
were some one else. etc. 1t was in
tended to make this just as comical
as possible and great deal of en-
jOyment was derived from the little
rolls of paper.
The guests departed at late hour
and all joined in declaring Miss

best of entertainers.
