A most elaborate George Washington
party was entertainment last Saturday
afternoon in the r. b. Houston home,
where most appropriate decorations
were charmingly blended. Large
flags draped windows and archways
and numerous smaller ones were
used with artistic effects. There
were flags, bunting, standards in
silk with golden fringe and tiny
souvenir emblems combined with
masses of Oregon-grape and great
clusters of deep red carnations. Con-
spicuous was the jar Of brilliant red
tulips, which later proved to be the
consolation favor.
The hostesses for this very de-
lightful affair were Mrs. Robert b..
Houston, Mrs. William P. Babcock,
Mrs. Henry S. Poisal, Mrs. Charles S.
Burdsal and Miss Houston, who en-
tertained with fourteen tables Of five
hundred.
Amelia Babcock, in her pretty white
gown and becoming pink ribbons,
presided at the door. Tally cards
bore colored portraits Of George
Washington and the significant cher
ry; and table markers were red card
hatchets.
Mrs. S. G. Dyer was fortunate win
ner OF high score favor, an ivory art
ware fern dish with growing plants.
Second high gave Mrs. David Yantis
brass hanging basket Mrs. George
Waters tulips were very acceptable
consolation.

hatchets again apeared, and this
time they were frozen in the cream,

pretty girls in dainty frocks, Miss
Margaret Poisal, Miss Dorothy Burd-
sal, Miss Florence Houston and Miss
Ensel Barker Of Eugene, who was
