Christmas Party.

r.
The j. E. Conroy home on West
Huron was the scene of interest
and pleasure last evening, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Conroy entertained
sixty parents and children at
their annual neighborhood- Xmas
tree party.
The house was most elaborate
ly trimmed in branches of ever
green, holly, Xmas bells and
streamers of red and green crepe
paper.
In the parlor stood a large
Christmas tree, heavily loaded
with presents, apples, candy and
nuts.
The company arrived at 1880
and after the children had adj
mired the tree, splendid pro-
gram was given, followed by the
distribution Of gifts by jolly old
st. Nicholas.
At the close of the evening the
hostess served an excellent three
course spread.

The prices at each store. slS
And if you think you'd like to eat

Four hits I.had to pay;

But we ate them in day. ~
And then bought can of corn

The Hessian fly got in the wheat,

They tell it's taking all our stuff
