Ankona Euche club at its next meeting
on Friday, which is the last regular
club night. There are many who de-
More the short season, and hostesses
will probably volunteer to prolong the
festivities.
The presence of large flag flying
from an Ankona residence is not sign
that there is a recruiting Office within.
1t merely means that the Woonoughs
have finished house cleaning. and are
celebrating the event of being settled
in their beautiful new Florida home, by
the hosting of Old Glory.
The euchre club met with Mrs. A M.
Chamberlain last Friday evening, and,
according to announcement, the head
table bell rang fully an hour earlier
than is customary The game was en-
loved to the utmost. notwithstanding
the presence of Fletcher Russell's "big
horn" orchestra on the stairway. Pro-
gressions were numerous; but Rollin
Ankeney. who sat in one chair for hours,
proved to be the tortoise who won the
race, coolly lifting the ''ribbon" from
Mrs. Saeger's shoulder as he ambled
by Refreshments were served at9:30,
after which there was general STAN
pede for the ball room. After that
there was nothing to it," and fun
ragged fast and furious until goodness
knows what hour. Waltzes and two
steps were diversified by Paul Jones and
the Ceclian circle. An impromptu en-.
durance race resulted in tie, and the
total loss of the breath of three couples.
Such was the enjoyment that the An
kona dancing club was organized on the
spot, second meeting to be held in the
near future.
Mrs. George A. Saeger's delightful
'at home" took place last Wednesday,
and may be described as mid.winter
function. The spacious drawing room
was made cheerful by genial warmth
from the cracking CRATE fire, and as
the guests gathered around the "shuf.
he-board'' there was no thought of the
Eager air" outside. Such fun as they
hadl No cause now to say that wo-
man cannot throw Mrs. Hamor showed
the Young folks thing or two, and
walked off with the prize for best aim
The shuttle board proved such an at
traction that the guests turned to the
card tables with a feeling akin to re-
greet. The game was Pivot 500. and a
pleasant afternoon soon rolled into the
evening, as the cards rained down and
bursts of laughter hoatcd out through
the closed windows. Mrs. George Say
Tors, one of Ankona's most artful play
ers, had luck added to craft and cap
tured the prize Refreshments, dain-
tily served, made the less fortunate
forget their i'll luck, for who could en-
tertain regrets in the face of Saeger
menu? There was something hot" to
warm up Something cold" Indeed,
fitness characterized the entire after
noon. 1t was good to be there, but
hard to leave, as was atteStcd by the
lingering groups. Here's to the health
of most charming hostess.
