A ROYAL GOOD TINE
Party in Honor of Harold Galley Given
by His Parents at Their fIome
Last Monday Evening.
Residence Prettily Decorated and the
Time Was Passed i'm a Contin-
ua' Round of Pleasure.

Mr.. and Mrs. T. 81. Galley gave a
Washington birthday party on Mon
day evening in honor of their son,
Harold. No pains we're spared to
make the house attractive. The dec
orations we're in red and white
Harold's class colors-with the ex-
ception of the music room, which was
in orange and black, the colors of the
Princeton high school. Quantities of
red and white carnations everywhere
added their fragrance and beauty.
The good taste displayed in the ar
engagements throughout the house was
nowhere more apparent than in the
| hall.
The large flag of our country that
hung screening the entrance to the
dining room at the end of the hall
was the first sight to greet the guests,
and with it's simple dignity was the
only decoration with the exception of
large red and white bow that hung
from the electrolier.
In the spacious living room the
class colOrs we're allowed to run riot.
Red draperies hung over the white
lace curtains, the pillars we're wound
with red and white, the handsome
fireplace was draped with red and
white, as we'll as holding it's quota OF
red and white flowers. The electric
lights gIowed forth from immense red
peoples, while hanging pendant were
ornaments bristling with tiny flags
and red and white pennants.
The den was also aglow with the
same colors, having as it's center
attraction a cherry tree laden with the
luscious fruit that during the evening
proved easy picking for the young
ladies. The music room was charm
ing with it's unique decorations OF
orange and black-orange and black
ara ped the windows and the piano.
Large stately sunfowers smiled
benignly down from the walls and
ceiling, small ones peeped cheerfnlly
forth from every available place,
while the electric globes shone out
through grinning moon faces OF
orange and black.
The dining room was resplendent in
red and white. Numerous pennants
draped the walls. The centerpiece for
the table was large willow basket
filed with ferns and red and white
carnations. A Washington Ratchet
was tied to the handle with a big
ribbon bow Of red and white.
Through the whole evening there
never was tagging minute. Numer.
Gus games and contests suitable for
the occasion had been prepared and
were carried out with much gayety
and pleasure by the guests. One
game requiring guessing stunts
caused much merriment Several OF
the games taxed the wits of even some
of the brainiest of the high school
guests.
The four lovely prizes we're carried
off by Miss Switzer, Aimee Woodcock,
Forest McVicar and Lisle Jesmer.
The young ladies stripped the
cherry tree of it's fruit to find in each
cherry the name of a famous man,
Each boy was presented with a
Ratchet, which proved to contain the
nicknames of the famous men. The
partners for refreshments were chosen
in that manner.
Tie refreshments we're enchanting &c
the eye as we'll as delicious to the
taste. They carried out the cofor
scheme as we'll as being in keeping
with the occasion. The sandwiches
we're tied with red and white ribbons
and the lemonade straws we're red
white and blue. The salad was served
in orange baskets with orange AND
black daisies tied to the handles.
while the accompanying cheese straws
we're tied with orange and black
ribbons.
The favors were dainty red and
white baskets containing red and
white candies. The ice cream was
served in red frilled cases with a
jaunty bunch of cherries attached
and each mound of ice cream support.

Eighteen at a time were seated al

the fifty guests entertained themselves
With dancing and with boxing stunts
in the amusement hall while awaiting
their turn for refreshments.
The chimes in the hall had struck
the hour of two before the last fare.
