Friday evening of last week at

Mr. and Mrs J E Rankin was thrown
open to a number of young folk who
enjoyed the entertainment prepared
for them by their host and hostess.
Mrs Rankin, beautifully gowned in
red messaline with jet heads and ac-
cessories to match, looked very
charming as she received at the door
of the reception hall, where. being
joined by Mr. Rankin, they ushered
the guests into the spacious dining
room. This room, as well as the
others, was most artistically deco
rated to represent St Valentine'sev-
ening. The host then gave toast
of welcome, causing the room to ov-
erfiow with ripples of laughter. Some
very interesting games were played
until all arrived. Next on the pro-
gramme was a contest. Mr. Marion
Montgomery. being the lucky winner,
was presented with lovely bLx of
heart-shaped bonbons, which he
very gracefully presented to his
partner, Miss Lula Keels. The guests
were then ushered into the dining
room by Mrs w j Cook, who assist
ed Mrs Rankin to serve delicious
course of hot chocolate and chocolate
waters, which all enjoyed. On re-
turning into the living room Mrs
Rankin had the boys work button
holes and the girls wrote business
letters. Mr. Willie Rhodus worked
the best button hole and was given
a beautiful necktie, and Miss Martha
Gamble wrote the best business let
ter and received a pretty linen hand
kerchief. Another diversion much
enjoyed was an advertisement" con-
test. This exercise occasioned much
thought and amusement. Miss Bet
tye Register was the best guesser
and as a reward for same received
from the hands of Mrs Rankin box
of stationery. Ere this was ended
it was quite late and the guests very
reluctantly bade the host and hostess
goodbye, each expressing to them
the pleasure they had been given.
