A NOVEL NEW YEARS PARTY.

A NOVEL NEW YEARS PARTY.
Miss Leta and Ray Roderick gave
a novel New Years party last night
at their home on Walla Walla street
to a number of their young friends.
1t was strictly an apple party. The
house was decorated with apples of
all colors and the entertainment of
the evening was furnished from the
names of the apples. Following the
entertainment dainty refreshments
were served. The winner of the ap-
pie contest was Miss Elizabeth Eikel-
burner, who received as a prize a
large apple stuffed with cloves and
other preservatives so that it would
keep for years. The second prize
was won by Miss Phoebe Knowles,
who received a smaller apple than
the first prize winner, and the BOBBY
prize went to Carl MiDich. The
guests were Misses Vera Sanderson,
Annie Nelson, Nellie Eikelburner,
Elizabeth Eikelburner, Florence HUI
ling, Nellie Huling, Mae Motteler,
Myrtle Motteler, Eunice Gibbons,
Edna Munich, Halle Munich, Phoebe
Knowles, Messrs Bernard Knowles,
Elmer Knowles, Stephen Knowles,
Carl Munich, Chas. Nelson, Dwight
Royce, Roy Huling, P S. Darlington,
Eddie Utter, Victor Berg, Eugene
| Cunningham.
The participants in the apple con-
test were furnished with a little
story, with many blank places. These
blanks had to be filled in with the
names of apples and no two names
used twice. This contest created con-
siderable amusement, and as basis
for other contests of the same nature
the following prize winning story is
given:
