FAREWELL PARTY TO DIR.
TECHOW AND WIFE

Mrs. Elizabeth Knox of the Nyco
club entertained last evening the
friends of DR.. and Mrs. Techow,
who departed this morning for
Europe. The guests were treated
to real surprise in the form of
entertainment. The living room was
beautifully decorated with vases of
cut flowers, and the dining room
had been converted into a millinery
shop where numerous untrimmed
hats, flowers, laces and ribbons
were on display. The gentlemen
present were called upto to trim
the hats and when finished drew
for their partners, who had to wear
the freak hats the balance of the
evening-in consequence of which
there may be a number of people
today who won't speak as they pass
by. A delicious repast was served
at 1880 and all departed voting II
one of the jolliest evenings spent
in Tonopah. The guests were DR.
and Mrs. Techow, Mr.. and Mrs
John Kirchen, Mr.. and Mrs. Judge

DR.. and Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. and Mrs
Hugh Brown; esdames Clemmons
