At the little affair which the Roland
Pauls gave in honor of Miss O'Don-
oughue last week there was a huge
green box filled with gifts, and perched
upon it was an immense green parrot.
The task of opening the gifts fell to
the "voyager" and much merriment
followed. The first package contained
an American flag, then followed several
little useful articles, then flag, then
a flag. then a flag, until the party
cried out with one voice, IF there are
any more flags you can start school
brigade"
one of the funniest little accidents
occurred last week when a most dig
nified hostess had all the lights go
Aiug. She madly telephoned to the
electric people. They were not very
comforting, but promised to send out
She first thing in the morning."
what shall we do?' was her frantic
cry, when, 10 and behold, the door
bell rang and there in ghostly line
appeared all her neighbors, each with
a. candle or lamp in her hand, which
she had hunted up for the occasion.
So the party was "spooky' with dim
soft-shaded lights, and the next morn
ing when the hostess rounded up"
she found fifteen candlesticks and four
lamps belonging to her various neigh
bors Verify good neighbor is
friend indeed" who comes to the front
when a friend in need" is ightless.

of the young society DANES enter
tained with a charming little party
last week, but unfortunately some OF

grew "catty," and when the fun grew
funnier and the automobiles lined the
street on either side they called up
the nightwatchman and requested nm
to go in and ask that the party dis
perse, as they wished to sleep. Ger
tainly this is a 'neighborious neigh
borhood."
