Miss Mary Pope's New Years
party, given in honor of Misses
Glennie Graham and Alva Wee
den Of Red Springs on last We'd
nesday evening was a most de-
lightful occasion in the younger
set circle. Miss Pope was beau
tifully attired in a blue spider
silk gown and received at the
door. Everything was carried
out with the idea of turning
over a new leaf for the New
Year. The invitations were writ
ten on an oak leaf and upon turn
ing it over each found the name
Of his or her partner for the eve
ming. The same scheme was
carried out throughout the eve
ming.
A contest was held in which
each guest wrote a New Years
resolution, after which they were
read and all were to guess who
wrote them. One was "Resolv-
ed that | shall do all | can to
help Frank Mcleod get wife"
and some guessed one wrote it
and some another, but after all
it was written by Frank him
self. Rudolph Carlyle's resolu-
ton was:
''Resolved-
That I'll live till | die, all right, all
right,
That III never go to bed at night,
That I'll never shoot game of crap,
Nor get into bar-room scrap,
Run no bluffs nor beat no Geights,
Tell no lies nor break no dates,
Never break my country's law,
Suck all my cider through a straw,
III take one bath and get shine
These things III do in 1907
After all were read, Misses.
Jessie Lennon, Dora Smith and
Margaret Ward tied for the girl S
prize for guessing the author of
the greatest number They drew
for it and Miss Smith was the
lucky one, the prize being a sill
yer maple leaf. Mr.. Ed. Rancke
received the boys prize.
After the contest refreshments
were served consisting of a salad
course and then gelatin and cake,
the gelatin being served in a
whole orange rind. On each
plate was "a hand-painted ivey
leaf and upon turning it over the
gilt words, Happy New Yea"
greeted each one.
Afterwards boys and girls
made things lively with music
and mirth until quite a late hour
when all, after expressing then
enjoyment of the occasion, be.
gan to leave for their homes
each declaring Miss Pope a charm
ing hostess.
