A DELIGHTFUL Social Function.

On last Friday evening, at the beau
tiful home of Mr.. w. r. Myers, on Co.
lumbia avenue, Miss Mary Myers gave
a reception in honor of the graduating
class of the Columbia High School of
which she is member.
There are twelve members in this
memorable class, all of whom are
bright young men and women. We
predict for them brilliant career in
life.
Miss Myers lastly decorated the
house in the class colors-pink and
green.
The evening was spent in playing
progressive Rock. All guests took
part and were highly entertained.
Miss Myers possesses that rare talent
of making everyone feel free and easy,
thereby getting each one to throw
himself into the spirit of the occasion.
After the game delightful refresh
ments wSre served in which the color
scheme of the class was successfully
carried out. At the request of Miss
Myers, Prof. Chesterfield Turner pre-
sented each guest with miniature
diploma as souvenir of the occasion.
1 think all will agree with me when
L refer to this occasion as one of those
bright GASES in ordinary life which re-
lease US from business and professional
cares, and afford US opportunity to un-
bend and mingle in cheeaful recrea-
tion with our esteemed friends. l am
sure that we all need a stimulous of
this sort after season Of drudgery in
the school room, at the desk or counter,
in order to clear away the dust and cob
webs from our brains, to revive our
social natures, and to develop the
finer sentiments and feeling of humani-
ty.
