LEAP YEAR PARTY.

The pretty home of Mr. and Mrs. c. L. Green was the scene of very enjoyable social affair last Monday evening. The house was tastefully decorated with flowers and ferns. The spacious rooms were thrown together making one large assembly of happy guests. It was styled "A Leap Year Party" and was given under the aus pices of the Junior Missionary Society. The young ladies called as the escorts of the young men, thereby proving that they, too, could be gallant.
 Miss Higginbotham, in her usual charming manner, gave a reading and responded to an encore.
 Miss Andrews also favored the hearers with a reading which was greatly appreciated. Delightful music was furnished by Misses Norma Me William, Helen Andrews and the fam ous Prescott male quartet.
 Since Cupid had been doing some rapid work, and some had fallen as victims, leap year proposals were then in order. A number of young ladies sought the hand and heart of their affinities, plighting their troth as only lovers can. Miss McMillian received the honor of offering the best proposal. Only one young man was held secure u~1er the magic spell. A mock weddinG allowed, the con- tracing parties heiac Nr. Emond Lo- gan and Miss Lille Eaves. They were attended by Misses Moore, Me Millian and White and Messrs. Powell and McCurty. The officiating minis ter was Dr. Dexter Bush, who used the impressive ring ceremony.
 Light refreshments were served, af- ter which the guests (about forty in number) departed, having expressed
