Charming Entertainments.
The Misses Berry entertained Fri
day evening in honor of their guests,
the Misses Boggs, Thurston and
Barr, Of Greenville. The following
notes were received:
Join with us in revelry
On the seventh August, evening;
AS Gypsy man or maiden,
In costume, prithee come.
The king and queen Of Gypsies call,
And urge your presence, one and ALL"
and needless to say nearly every one
OF the large number who received
them was present in costume, the
girls wearing gaudy-colored frocks
and painted faces, while the boys
wore white shirts with red bandana
handkerchiefs around their necks
On arriving at the house the boys
and girls were carried into different
rooms and masked. Then as they
marched out into the hall the one
opposite them was their partner. The
first couple with a lantern led the
way along a winding path and
through the woods and over the
brook to a secluded spot, which had
been prepared and lighted with Jap
anese lanterns for the occasion. On
reaching there each one drew a piece
Of cake from plate and was given
a package of mints. Edward Werner
and Miss Pauline Davis received the
pieces of cake so were chosen as the
king and queen Of the evening. They
were seated on. a rustic bench, and
each couple, after being blindfolded,
were allowed to try to crown the
king and queen. Robert Davis was
the only boy who successfully crown
ed the queen, while three girls
crowned the king. These drew for
the prize, and Miss Britt being the
lucky one, was presented with a pic
u
body-guard and Miss Lynn Werner
lady-in-watinig for the king and
queen. A light was noticed apart
from the others, and upon inyestiga-
tion proved to be a large bowl Of
punch, which was served in minia-
ture frying pans. Upon returning to
their places the guests enjoyed re-
freshments, consisting of a salad
course served in plates, and cake.
The crowd then gathered and sang
the old-time songs and few college
songs. A solo, "The Gypsy Girl" by
Miss Pearle Werner, was enjoyed by
all.
BY the time all had marched back
to the house it was time for depar-
ture, much to the regret of the
guests, who lone and all" declared
they had spent most delightful
evening.
