ance of the evening. By going
fishing each boy received the
name of some girl present. The
boys were then given a pair Of
scissors, a roll of paper. a sheet
of cardboard and a paper OF
pins, and was Instructed TO use
the girl whose name he had

How those boys did work. The
excitement was so intense thai
Fred Egan swallowed seven
pins and Fred Evans sat down
on whole paper of them.
When the dresses were fin.

attired in their new creations
That line of styles would shame
Paris entirely off the map.
Judgment was then passed
upon the designs and it was
found that Fred Evans had
proved himself most efficient in
this art and had adorned Miss
Grace Owens in the most neatly
arranged and stunning model
He was given a basket of Easter
eggs as a prize. Various other
stunts were INDUCED in, after

Egan was given the opportunity

A peanut relay race was next
in order, in which Fred Egan's
side proved most efficient.

reckless enough to bid as high
as two and three beans for g
worthless debater.
In this way the girls uncon.
sciously chose partners for sup

to which all did ample justice
was then served by Mr.. Warner
and Miss Leimer.
