Valentines f~estoonings and hearts
and at the close of the evening a de-

the ~diningroom. Al much enjoyed
feature of the evening was the read
ings by Miss Buck,
DIR. C. C Tnayer very delightfully."-
entertained last evening at the home
Of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. II. e.
Thayer on Third avenue south for the
Fargo college basketball quint. In
vitations were sent to the young gem
tlemen requesting them to bring with
them their lady friends and the re-
suit was a jolly gathering of young
people and one Of the ~pleasantest af-
fairs OF the season. The Thayer home
was very attractive with. festoonings
OF pink hearts and valentines with
vases of chrysanthemums. The eve
ning's entertainment was unique con-
tests, games and st. Valentine tests.
Al contest OF hearts was decidedly en-
joyed, Harry Forth winning a deck
OF cards handsomely encased in leath-
er and Miss Flaten the prize for the
ladies which was an exquisitely
wrought German vase. One test which
afforded a great deal of merriment
was that where each couple found the
p~ossessor of their heart. each couple
was ushered into of the rooms
where curtains were arranged over a
convex mirror. When the curtains
were drawn the reflections were seen
y enlarged to startling proportions and
when seen again were surprisingly
narrow. Partners were chosen for
supper through a very ~cleverly de-
vised scheme. Al huge heart vas
hung between the doors and eight
ribbons were attached ending with
hearts corresponding to those pinned
on each guest and after many attempts
the gentlemen at last succeeded in
drawing their partners. The dining
room was indeed very beautiful. the
large light dome over the table was
effectively festooned with hearts and
on the table were ferns and cut flow
erss The favors were clever conceits
carrying out the idea of basketball
with dainty baskets filed with candy
balls and the other table appointments
were carried out ia valentine sug
gesticns in pink. AfTording much fun
between curses were appropriate
comic. valentines, which were read
and displayed in turn about the table
The evening was throughout a most
charming success and fully enjoyed,
