Delightful Party.

On Tuesday evening Miss Hattie
Zeigler gave a party in honor of her
guests, Miss Ollie Delgar of Sumter,
and Miss Marguerite Howard of Bal
timore. A goodly number of young
people gathered and enjoyed the eve
ming. The affair was sample par
ty," the most novel feature being,
perhaps, that each lady brought a
sample of the material of her dress,
and these were distributed to the
young men. They then had to find
the owner of the dress which match
ed the sample. After finding the
owners, the young men were asked
to write description of her dress,
and the young ladies were asked to
draw the young mans picture. Miss
Walkers portrait of DR.. Cherry, and
Mr.. Rush Westburry's description of
Miss Alma Wannamaker's dress took
the prizes. During the evening de-
licious refreshments were served.
