Mr.. and Mrs John G. recbt Rutertaip.

Mr.. and Mrs. John C. Fecht, living
two miles west OF Mexico, entertained
about thirty OF their relatives and
friends at their home Sunday in \
very charming way. When these two
good people entertain they step out
into the lime-light and do nothing by
halves The guests Of honor, for which
the big dinner was given, were Col.
and Mrs. Richard Campbell, Of Rob-
bins Station, Pennsylvania; Misses
Louise, Hilda and Katie Myers OF
McKeesport Pennsylvania, and Miss
Hannah Walsh, Of St. Louis. Mrs.
Campbell is a sister OF John, William
and Joseph Fecht, and the Misses
Myers are neices. Miss Walsh is a
sister Of Mrs. VIM. Fecht. Besides
the guests OF honor there we're present
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Fecht add children,
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Fecht and family,
Mrs. Mary O'Callaghan and daughter,
Miss Julia, Of Thompson, Miss Lille
Bost, Mrs. viii Rodgers and son, Will
liam, Col. Gus Hogan, OF Corning,
Iowa, and Prof. Fred Zumstag, Of
Bagdad, Germany.
The pleasant home, fragrant viii
cut flowers, and the pretty lawn were
enjoyed by all throughout the entire
day, which was an ideal one, and the
program was carried out in every de-
tail. At high noon the bell rang for
dinner, which was spread on long
tables on the lawn just west Of the
residence. Now, we cannot describe
the splendid feast set before the
guests-there were so many good
things TO eat and 50 many handsome
mattresses that we became ratified
and lost out while eating ~gooseberry
pie and fryed chicken and goose.
Suffice it 70 say. the feast was great.
We shall call or Miss Walsh and Mrs.
Joe Fecht to describe the dinner for
US. We have sat down with kings and
queens at the table, but they were not
ia it with the dinner given by Mr..
and Mrs. John Fecht to their guests.
Col. Campbell is a prominent and
well known railroad magnate in bis
state; Is a true gentleman and is, OF
course, a stalwart Democrat.
The Misses Myers are exceptionally
pretty, amiable and vivacious girls
and We were glad TO extend to them
the joyous hand. "We havea yearning
In u heart'i-but it will have to
yearn, as we learn that each one Of
these charming ladies have already
been spoken for" by young Pennsyl.
yania millionaires. But such Is life.
They viii visit relatives in Illinois
before they return to their home.
Miss Gertrude Fecht, the beautiful
and accomplished daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Fecht, by requst, rendered
very charmingly the story Of the Old
Blue Hen.
Prof. Fred Zumstag, Of Germany,
had bis wonderful musical and talking
machine on the lawn, which was kept
going pretty much the entire day,
which added much to the enjoyment
OF the occasion. Prof. Zumstag Is a
great favorite among the ladies.
Col. Hogan, the statesman from
Iowa, made a rattllng good speech on
1.-THE Matrimonial Outlook" His
talk brought tears, then smiles. Very
few went TO sleep.
The supper consisted OF sallds,
coffee, ices and cake, with Cottonwood
Springs water on the side, which was
greatly relished by al.
II there were any dropping spirits
present, we fail to hear OF 1t. At
Intervals during the day Col. Fecht
passed the guests a glass OF the elixir
OF life. 1t was a day Of rejoicing.
"Such heavenly hours do not come
every day
IL they did, our lives would soon
vanish away"
The ladies were fanltlessly attlred
In pretty and becoming gowns and the
gentlemen we're gallant aud brave.
We wish 10 thank all the ladies
present on this joyous occasion for
the many ~courtesies shown US. May
their sweet smiles never fade away.
Always Your Friend. DILI.
