OF a social function at the home

A social function OF more than ordi
nary interest was held @edncst !
evening at the home Of President aid
Mrs. Homer II. Seerley Invitations
had been extended by Miss Esther
Seerley to twenty friends but when
they arrived they found the ruse had
worked well In guarding the surprise
of the evening. Her mother, Mrs |
Seerley was in reality the hostess of |
the evening and received the guests !
after which, at $50 o'clock, dinner |
was announced and all we're seated |
around the beautifully arranged din I
ing table where pink and green were |
layishly intertwined in what proved |
to be not only a unique but clever |
way of perpetrating the surprise of /
the evening. At either end of the Ia I
Bile were cut glass vases filled with /
sweet peas while in the center was
a mysterious and elaborate combina- |
ton of the colors surmounted with |
huge pink bow, From the center |
were suspicious ribbons extending to (
each plate with the pink and green I
alternating. When the guests began |
to pull these dainty ribbons they Sc |
cured pretty pink satin bag, each |
of which contained double heart |
with the inscription, Esther E. Seer |
ley. Claude e. Culley. Feb, 5, 1914 |
Heary congratulations followed and |
many EXPLANATIONS of surprise and |
delight were heard. Miss Seerley is |
the elder daughter of President and |
Mrs Seerley and she holds a large |
place not only in the home circle, but |
in the community. Mr.. Culley re-
sides in Marshailtown but he has
made many friends here during his
visits OF the past few months. Miss
Seerley was gowned in pretty pink
silk to further carry out the color
scheme Her sister. the younger
daughter, Mrs Atherton B. Clark, of
Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. William c.
Radcliffe. of Red Oak, daughter of
Prof. and Mrs. ID. Sands Wright, were
the only out OF town guests. The in
innate friends of Mrs Seerley, wives
Of professors of the faculty, united
with the younger friends of Miss

future happiness and anticipation
were combined"
