A very pleasant social event took
place Wednesday evening at tho homo OF
Miss Charlotte Lovejoy, lower Main
Street, when Miss Claribel DeCosta was
given variety shower by the members
of the Swastika Club. After the club
members had spent short time sewing,
each one present was given small roll OF
paper on which number was written and
was told that somewhere Ia the room
she would find Q peanut concealed with
q corresponding number. When the
peanuts were located 1t was found that
twine was attached to each one and 1t
was necessary to follow up this twine
and discover what was at the end. Most
of the twines were short, but the one
| which Miss DeCosta drew seemed to be
almost endless, and after going upstairs
and down she finally came to the end In
the attic and found large basket
filled with useful presents awaiting her.
The verses were then read and all ex-
amined their presents, much fun ensu.
Ing, as the gifts, except those presented
to Miss DeCosta, were OF q humorous
nature. Refreshments of frozen pudding,
cake and fancy crackers, confectionery
and nuts were then served, and the sf-
fair broke up at . late hour after most
delightful evening.
