April Fool Party.

Mesdames Ned Irwin and Ira
Fry were pleasant hostesses to
grand April fool party at the
home of the former in California
junction Saturday evening, when
twenty-five guests responded to
the invitations which had been
sent out early i'm the week. The
hostesses met their guests at tho
door with high fool caps
which We're black and yellow.
Streamers of black and yellow
were festooned from the chan
dclicr i'm The center of the room
out to all points of the room.
forming a very pretty canopy.
Every kind Of an April fool stunt
imaginable was pulled off and
jolly time was had from start to
finish without a minute to catch
their breath before something
took place A mesh bag had been
tackled to the floor and the gen
tlcmcn all thought some lady
had dropped it when they arrived
and of course they thought il
would be polite to pick it up fol.
the fair one, but We're much sur
prised when they found il was
there to stay. a beautiful lace
handkerchief had been pinned to
a rug and the ladies bit ON
that. Much merrimcnt was ere
aied throughout the evening by
the real funny jokes that were
played on the guests.
Along program of fun was car
ried out to perfection, among
which was a walking race, a
height race, i'm which the gentle
men tried to see who could write
his name the highest. At 1890 a
splendid three-course supper was
served by the hostesses, the color
scheme of black and yellow being
carried out in the menu. Here
was another surprise. The sup
per was served backwards on
trays with the nut cups and other
details in black and yellow. First
came the dessert on down to the
4 cocktails. This was truly a uni
que way of serving a supper and
it was thoroughly enjoyed. 1t was
in the wee small hours before the
merry crowd departed for their
homes, declaring they had had a
royal good time,
