participated in an entertainment of
rare attraction at the hands Of their
hostesses: Misses Cantey, Coskrey and
Friday. Upon their arrival, the guests
were served with cocoa by Mrs. Olin
B. Coskrey, standing behind bal
ance beam weighing on the one side
heart and on the other a bag of
gold, Mrs Coskrey passed daintily
prepared cups to the young men who
In turn served the young ladies. First
In order Of the features of the even
Ing was an auction sale of the young
men. Given paper and pencil they
were requested to write a description
of their personal charms. which de-
scription were read by the auctioneer,
Mr.. d. G. Mason, who did not dis
close the names until the bids were
completed. The sales waxed quite
exciting at times. so prone were the
ladies to bid high for those whose do
mestic charms or habits seemed prev
alent. The young men were all sold,
some at 20 cents and some at $500.
The chief amusement of the evening
was Heart Hunt" search for hid
den hearts Of red, pink, and yellow
each of which counted so many
points. After all had been found, a
heart-shaped box Of candy was award
ed to Miss Genie Mae Furse who with
her partner Mr.. r. Miller Fielder sue
ceeded in scoring the highest number
Of points.
The parlors had been tastefully
decorated with hearts and other Of
the seasons suggestions, but upon en-
tering the dining room one was fore
ed to believe that there was beauty
more fully portrayed. From the CEN
tre Of the ceiling to the four corners
Of the table hung garlands Of red, and
at each place a heart-shaped mat
held the plate containing a delightful
salad course. Around the lamp in the
centre of the table had been con-
structed heart. shaped shade of red,
which lent a most pleasing light to
the pretty scene. The little waitress
es dressed in white and red, replaced
the first course with ambrosia served
In orange shells together with waters.
From dainty bon-bon dishes the
guests finished their repast with
heart-shaped mints Of red and green.
OF the features Of enjoyment, must
not be overlooked the music rendered
by Misses Sue Cantey, Louise Friday,
and Miss May and Mr.. Clifton Wells.
Upon extending their earnest con-
graduation and hearty thanks for the
pleasures Of the evening, the guests
departed, carrying with. them many
happy thoughts Of the enjoyable
event and their charming hostesses.
