| IHE WEEK s
In SOCIETY |

Mrs. d. N. Stickney and Mrs. |. r..
Swigart We're joint ~hostesses at a beau
tifully arranged card party this after
noon, the function, which was given at
the Stickney residence, being the most
important society event of the week.
b weather was propitious, even
Dame Nature contributing to the sue
cess of the party, which was a purple
and green affair, pansies and ferns be-
ing effectively utilized for decoration
in the spacious apartments. The hap
Ply guests donned their daintiest new
spring toilettes in honor of the occa-
sion and the scene was indeed a charm
ing one. Whist whiled away the hours
until the elaborate purse luncheon
was served, Mrs. Stickney and Mrs.
Swigart being deity assisted by Miss
Swigart, Miss Simpson, Miss Natalie
Swigart and Miss Mamie Livingston.
The souvenirs were novel and exceed
ingly acceptable, each lady receiving a
dainty living remembrance in the shape
of a thriving potted pansy in full
bloom. AS Shakespeare said, There's
rosemary, that's for remembrance; and
there's pansies, that's for thoughts"
and it is safe to say that the pretty
plants will be productive in the weeks
to come of many pleasant recollections
of the occasion, and those who pre-
scented them.
"Of all the bonny buds that blow in
bright or stormy weather,
OF all the flowers that come and go in
all the moon together,
The little purple pansy brings, thoughts
of sweetness, dearest things"
