THE SOCIAL SIDE

Oh, Gaiety, thy name Is Emmett
The proverbial calm before the storm
was broken very abruptly last week
and a flood of gaiety has continued
to sweep over the country through
out this week Parties large and par
ties small, aid societies and clubs, So
Gals and dances-all have had their
sway and have kept the participants
happily absorbed in their various
lines,
Last Friday afternoon Mrs. E. w.
Malmstrom was hostess to the Cres-
cent Club. There was an exceptionally
large attendance, "a members being
present, and a most enthusiastic
meeting it was, with an interesting
business meeting and program. The
hostess was assisted in serving by
her niece, Miss Minnie Malmstrom.
Mrs. Rewel, who is visiting at the
Shinn home, was guest.

Friday stands out as more than a
red letter day to 26 playmates of Miss
Ida Mae and Master Charles Flagler,
who so gloriously entertained them
at a masquerade party Friday night.
Following instructions, the children
met at the schoolhouse yard, where
they were bundled into a hay rack
and transported to the Flagler ranch.
Reaching the orchard they were I'M
loaded and marched in and out thro
the trees to the packing house, up
steep ladder and down, >out into the
lawn, where huge bonfire was blaz-
ing. There all sorts Of games and
antics furnished amusement, includ-
ing the following of strings, at the
end of which each little guest found
his fortune and a souvenir. A real
gypsy fortune teller, Madame Cava-
loski, spun the most marvellous yarns
for each child in his turn, and sweet
apple cider was no small feature of
the evenings pleasure. Supper was
served late in the evening in the pack
ing house cellar, which was lighted
with Japanese lanterns, each child's |
place having shiny red apple hold
ing a burning candle. The happy |
little maskers. included all the char
acters suggested by Halloween fes-
and COLLINS, clowns,
witches, brownies and the like-but
proved to be a crowd of jolly boys
and girls with normal healthy appe-
tites 1t was with shade of disap-
pointment that the youthful revel-
lers received the announcement that
the hay rack was in waiting.
A most charming afternoon was
that given on Friday by Mrs. L. o.
Miles in compliment to her sister,
Mrs. L. H. Blaisdell. The rooms were
tastefully decorated, tall vases of gil
ant yellow chrysanthemums and
ferns being greatly admired, while
at the luncheon hour fiat boquets of
fall flowers glowed with tiny burn
ing tapers. Six tables were placed
for 500, while those not caring for
cards enjoyed Kensington with Wis
ting and fancy work. Luncheon was
served on the small tables, sugges-
ions of Halloween appearing through
put the service.
Departing from it's regular custom,
The 500 club enjoyed an afternoon at
Auction Bridge Saturday at the home
If Mrs. J. l. Barry. Every member
was present, and the change in the
diversion proved thor
,ughly enjoyable. About 5 o'clock
he hostess served very pleasing
unch, Mrs. Eli Lanktree and Miss
ella Breshears assisting.
