party for Miss Marie Darling. Mr..

and DR.. K. S. Webster, dancing was
begun with Miss Sadie Lothrop at the
piano. Later whist and other games
were enjoyed. Ice cream. cake and
chocolate were served by the hostess

while the lady Of honor was cutting
the birthday cake with its twenty
candles. Each of the unmarried fem

among the men, in fact. quite the
contrary. Miss Darling was presented
by her friends with an Eastern Star
pin and bouquet of pink and white
roses, besides the numerous hearty
good wishes of all her friends.
