A Farewell eood.Luck Party.

"A Farewell Gooo-luck Party.
This is the description of a merry
Earty given by a neighborhood crowd
of young people in honor of two OF
their set who were going away for a
years absence. The invitations were
decorated with good luck symbols,
like horseshoes, ~four-leaved ~clovers,
wishbones, etc. When all had ar
rived the hostess passed halves OF gilt
cardboard horseshoes. each cut at a
different angle; when a perfect horse
shoe was made by a couple they were
partners to hunt new pennies which
were hidden throughout the lower
part of the house. This was a good
starter and the couple who brought
back the most coppers in their little
silk bags received a box of candy dec
Grated with a huge gilded horseshoe.
Next, cards were passed with the
words Good Luck" at the top, and a
prize was given to the one making the
most words in twenty minutes. The
refreshments consisted of ice cream
frozen in the shape of f%our-leaved clio
vers, the cakes were horseshoe-shaped
and the place cards ornamented with
gtlded wishbones. Each guest took
home a bright new penny for a good

Shower for a Bridegroom.

This affair certainly was something
entirely new to me and l think will
be so to most of the department read
ers. It all came about in this way:
There was to be a wedding and the
bride was a much entertained lady.
One night the men who were to be in
the bridal party said they thought a
bridegroom was a much neglected in
dividual, etc. The result was his re-
ceiving the following invitation, a
copy of which was sent to about twen-
ty of his most intimate friends:
"A shower will be given at the
home of Mr.. J. F. Black in honor Of
Mr.. G. G. White on Tuesday night.
Please bring an article suitable for
him in the new life he is about to I'M
dertake."
The men entered into the spirit of
the thing and the result was amusing
in the extreme. so those say who were
fortunate to get a detailed descrip-
ton. There was not a girl in evil
dence, though the best mans sister
arranged for the refreshments, flow
ers end place cards. Here were some
of the articles contributed, all done
up In tissue paper tied with ribbons:
A box of collar buttons. razor strop,
silk hose, suspenders, garters, shaving
brush, a tack hammer, bath slippers,
cup and uce Many of the gifts
were accompanied with rhymes, which
we're read aloud as each parcel was
opened.

friends with whom she went up to

a beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
