response of invitations issued. from 2
to s. about thirty guests assembled to
enjoy the hospitality and accept the
warm handshake of their hostess. who
in her graceful bearings, was assisted
| in receiving by Mrs. D. 7. Denmead.
Mrs. Kinney wore black silk with train,

rooms We're lighted by wax tapers,

and very artistically arranged, by our
home artist, Mr. Van Schaick. His
| work was much admired. There was
that perfect harmony in all the APP
pointments which readily impresses
one with the character of the inmates
of such a home Cards for progress
sive cinch. deliberately decorated with
ChrysanthemumH, were given each
guest and after an hours hilarity at
that exciting game Miss Dugan bore Off
the favor, which was an exquisite
PC
Ackert was the happy possessor of the
BOBBY, which was beautiful bouquet
of roses, and II was the opinion of all
that il was well worth the throwing OF
cinch on her opponents ace. Lunch
cloths were spread and dainty refresh
ments from china Of egg shell texture
were served, after which the hostess
led the way to the coffee room, where
the table was spread with coffee and
chocolate service, from which the
beverage was gracefully dealt by Mrs.
Denmead and Miss Dugan After
thoughts and almond waters were
served and each guest then received
bunch of chrysarthemums for hei
corsage from their admired hostess.
Many regrets We're expressed in regard
to MI. and Mrs. kidneys departure
from our midst. During the afternoon

whose sweetest strains floated down
from the upper hall"
"One Of the jolliest gatherings Of this
season occurred at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. A. l.. PalmerS 205 South
Fourth avenue, Saturday evening, It
being the linen anniversary of their
wedding, which took place twenty
years ago in Davenport. Iowa. No one
would have believed 50 long time
had elapsed when looking at the still
youthful bridegroom or his animated
wife. The home was bright with
flowers and decorated with taste. a
most tempting supper was offered
early in the evening, and displayed the
skill Mrs. Palmer had acquired in the
culinary art. She was assisted in the
serving by her nephew and sons in ad-
mirable style Partners for progress
sive cinch were found by matching
linen leaves painted & the autumn
shades, and all soon began in earnest
to work for the honors. After two
hours labor Mrs. T. J. Fletcher was
awarded a handsome piece of en-
broidered linen as the first lady, and
c. II. Ackert received with bland
smiles linen card case for his eXer-
tons, altho Grandpa Harrison pro-
tested, and thought the Oldest man
ought to stand first. Mrs. G. F. Kirby
and Mr.. Charles Heitshu had to re-
ceive with grace the second honors, and
Charley remarked: 1t beats all the luck
some people have as he tattooed on
the small drum presented him. Only
the nearness Of Sunday morning at last
reminded the guests of the hour as
they left expressing themselves de-
lighted and heartily wished Mr.. and
Mrs Palmer twenty more returns Of
the day and company. The guests from
abroad were Mrs. r. Ackert, of Mober-

Mayor Arson issued a ukase yester-
day afternoon to Marshal Haas and
other policemen, to the effect that un-
der no circumstances is he to allow
members of the Salvation Army to pa
rade the streets again. The cause
which led to the issuance Of so strict
an order was that last Sunday after
noon, while the two funeral professions
were passing down Main street, the
Salvationists filed in behind them at
the junction Of Main and Second street
and pounded the drum with much more
vetemence than on any former occasion,
at least it seemed-so to every one, anu
Mayor Arson has come to the concus-
