Mrs. W. D. French. Correspondent)

STAFFORD, January 24.--The "At Home" given bv Miss Mae Dowdle for her guest, Miss Mabel Wickersham, last Saturday afternoon, was one of those happy nttle events that stand out in one s mind and carry in their train host of pleasing memories. The re creation for the afternoon was the mak ing of romance books, each guest eX pressing her ideas of the past preseni and future of Miss Mabel s life in a series of pictures obtained from oll magazines, cut out and arranged chron- ologically. The future was most in teresting in that she goes to Europe and has the nobility at her feet. In true American scorn she snubs the scions of decayed aristocracy and returns to her own true love at home. The books are much prized by Miss Wickersham, and will always remind her of a very happy time spent with Miss Dowdle and her guests. Decorations consisted of volets with hand painted place cards. Refreshments of creamed lob. ster on toast, waters, salted almonds, pineappe frappe, chocolate and cake were served. Between the courses each guest answered a question pertaining to her ideal or to the advantages of spinsterhCod. Those present besides Miss Wickersham were: Mesdamas Emma Todd, J Stratton; Misses Pur- dunn, Gillie and Lillian Archer, Bassiste.

 Such was the rather incongruous sign that greeted visitors at the sheriff s of. flee yesterday.
 While it may have been rather diff ficult to determine where the fish were, it was not troublesome in the least to discover the fish pond. It occupied the entire noor of the basement corridor.
 One of the water pipes sprung leak at some hidden spot as yet unuiscover- ed and as the result, the basement re. sembled a small portion of Roosevelt dam. The waters were rising last night and unless the leak is found today, the sheriff s office will be flooded.
 Heavy blanks were strewn over the floor promiscuousiy to afford dry walks and the flood has done no damage as yet.
