with large bowls Of yellow and white
chrysanthemums. Around the walls
were tackled small cards, each bear
ing the name Of some profession or
occupation, as doctor, Judge, shoe
maker, sexton, etc. After short
while spent in pleasant conversation
by the guests, the hostesses gave to
each one a small blue stocking, cut
from paper, bearing a duplicate num-
for the guessing contest by the lady
who held a number corresponding
with the ono written thereon. The
contest was to furnish suitab' eS
names for the wives of the profes-
sionals mentioned. Though it SEEM

lady faally set the ball rolling" by
suggesting that the shoemaker's
wife should be named "Peg-gy"; an
other named the doctors wife PA
tience," the lawyers wife Sue, the
sexton's wife Belle, while the
chemists wife was given the good
old name Ann Eliza, (analyzer) =,
and SO on until, after much thinking
and laughter, they We're all named
satisfactorily. AS each had guessed
them all correctly, the prize had to
be drawn for, and the lucky winner
was Mrs. NJ. G. Long The prize, a
dainty silk vanity bag, was gracefully
and wittily presented by Miss Daisy
Strong. The second prize, small
blue stocking filed with candy, was
drawn by Miss Sue Maxwell The
fair honorees, Mesdames Wilcox and

blue stockings" filled with candy. A
dainty and substantial salad course
was then served with fr" grant hot
tea. The place cards we're hand
