The Penelope club held it's first
meeting of the year with Mrs. c. M.
Jensen at her pretty country home on
Tuesday afternoon. The ride out in
carriages and bus added much to the
fun and it was jolly crowd that kept
up a running fire of talk and laughter
from start TO finish. Speaking of the
finish, it was a feast fit for a king.
One long table fairly groaned with
it's load of goodies and the ladies
took trays and helped themselves.
The cool, crisp atmosphere had seen
to it that the appetites of all were just
right to do justice to it all and from
the fried chicken to the individual
pumpkin pies no one was seen to
falter. Mrs. P. w. Harding and Miss
Gena Hart assisted Mrs. Jensen in
caring for her guests, who all de-
clared it a grand time. Mrs. Jennie
Seemann and Mrs. A. D. Wilson were
new members who were cordially
welcomed into the society.
At 1880 Thursday evening the
Misses Schlumberger entertained at
dinner in honor of their guest, Miss
Southwick, of st. Louis. The occas-
ion was celebrated in honor of Miss
Southwick's birthday and the color
scheme of pink and white was carried
out most deliberately throughout the
five-course dinner. During the last
course a large pink cake with twelve
lighted candles was brought in. Mock
birthday presents, which were given
to each guest, afforded much amuse-
ment. Covers were laid for twelve,
and all had very enjoyable time.
A number of lady friends of Mrs.
F. W. Meyers, regretting her depart
ure and wishing to show their respect
and esteem, surprised her with very
beautiful embroidered luncheon set
and at the same time expressed their
good wishes for abundant happiness
and success in the new home. Mrs.
Meyers has, by her reserve and quiet
dignity, endeared herself to hosts of
Denison friends, who feel that no one
can quite take her place. What is our
loss will be MarshalPs gain and we
feel sure they will soon appreciate
that fact.
