the above was merely joke played
on the young ladies by some young
gentlemen friends of the party and
the opinion is expressed around

dignant and jealous because they
were not invited to accompany the

above means of venting their spite.
Only four boys participated in the
joke instead of eight as above men
toned. Although several of the
girls nearly tainted from fright no.
