Smirl was the charming hostess at
delightfully."- planned party in honor of
Miss Zeta Bradley of Trinchera. Each
guest was requested to wear something
representing book, and there was a
vast amount of brain work used to dis
cover the names. When the count was
Tailed it was found that Miss Dorothy
Goodner was highest, and the prize was
| awarded to her. The out-of-town
guests were Mrs. Roy Ayers of La
Junta and Mrs. w. H. Pearce of Dem
yer.
On Tuesday evening Miss Smirl again

lay hats and parasols. Social converse
and fancywork filled the hours until the
luncheon was served. Misses Marie
Kinney and Gladys Wood assisted in
