hostess Thursday afternoon at the
meeting of the Merry Widow Club. .
The parlor and hail was unusually
bright and pretty with roses and
ferns "Forty-Two,' 'Old Maid" and
Proverbs" were the interesting
games played. The score cards were
pretty pen and ink sketches, the
work of the hostess. Miss Matte
JEFF Knowles and Lucy Williams made
the two highest scores, and in draw
ing for the prize, Miss Knowles was
the fortunate one, receiving a pretty
l hat pin Delicious refreshments, con-
sisting of pineapple with whipped
cream and cake were served at the
close of the games.
Plains has been cast in gloom on
account of the death of Miss Bertha

came as a shock to her friends, who

the sympathy of the entire town in
