FairyIand Party.
One OF the brilliant affairs OF Thursday
was the fairyland party given in the even
ing by Miss Minnie Meyer at her home on
Douglas street The entire lower floor Of
the house was decked with tinsel and fiow-
ers and shaded lights suggestive OF that
mysterious realm where tinsled eXtrava-
gance is supposed to abound. The rooms
were canvassed for dancing and filled with
that familiar company that people the nur-
sery rhymes. The walls and ceilings were
concealed by ropes OF tinsel, which were
festooned in a most bewildering glitter Of
brflliancy and splendor. In one corner OF
the parlor a gorgeous throne was erected
and here Miss Meyer reigned as the queen
OF the fairies. Her costume was very pre-
tentious. being OF white silk, spangled with
gold. Her crown was Of pearls and bril-
hants. She waved the traditional gold
wand and all the fairies present were en-
raptured over any commission placed upon
them or favor shown them by their beau
tiful dictator. There were about fifty
guests present and some OF the best cos
tunes of the evening being Little Bo
Peep. Mary Had a Little Lamb. Cinderella,
Simple Simon. Little Miss Muffett. Jack
and jill. Buster Brown and Foxie Grandpa
