THE SOCIAL SIDE

We regret that by some oversight
the two articles following were omit.
ted from last weeks "Social Side:"
One of the enjoyable functions OF
the weeks doing was the entertain
ment, on Friday evening, of the new
teachers by those of last year, at
the home of Miss Alice Holverson
The guests went attired in sheets and
pillow slips and were received by a
line of COLLINS who ushered them in
TO rooms bedecked with symbols of
Halloween carried out in black and
white. The amusements were unique
and original spearing of apples
from a tub of water, Interpretation
of dreams by means of a magic
shawl, telling fortunes by new and
novel methods, and the drawing out
of souvenirs from a black and white
umbrella suspended from the ceiling.
The lunch table, in the form of let
ter L was conferred with immense yell
low chrysanthemums with green, and
place cards were black cats. A lunch,
in keeping with the occasion, includ-
ing sauer kraut and weinies, was
served by the goblin hosts.
The w. C. T. U. held its regular
meeting Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. P. w. Polly. There
was fairly good attendance and the
usual business was transacted. The
membership campaign, with Mrs. H..
S. Jenkins and Mrs. Charles Whitman
as captains, is to be a vigorous con-
test and should add many active mem
bers to the list, and make it a much
stronger organization.

A party of friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Reuben Eaton, discovering that last
Wednesday was their 18th wedding
anniversary, thought to make the oc-
casion somewhat more lively for
them. So these scheming friends pre-
pared baskets of lunch and stealing
into the yard, peeped into the win
dows to discover Mrs. Eaton nodding
over a magazine and Mr.. Eaton doz-
ing before the fire. With rush they
bounced in upon the unsuspecting
pair, who, thus ruthlessly disturbed in
their peaceful surroundings, proceed
ed to make merry with the guests.
A most delightful evening ensued,
with music and dancing, and the late
lunch completed an evening of good
cheer.
