EpwOrth League Social
Decidedly one of the merriest and
happiest gatherings of Ocala young
people that has taken place in long
while was the Epworth League social
at the residence of Mrs. George
Rentz last evening. Mrs. Rentz left
nothing undone to insure the success
of the party, her beautiful home be-
ing splendidly adapted for such oc-
casions. Flowers were arranged here
and there to make the parlors attrac-
tive for the entertainment, and the
popular young hostesses, Misses Ruth
and Sara Rentz. assisted the leaguers
in making the evening continual
round of enjoyment.
For more than an hour hilarity and
fun reigned supreme. Many interest
ing games and contests were enjoyed.
One especially which caused great
deal of excitement and pleasure was
a "gossiping contest" which all
found out almost by supernatural and
magical influence. what their COM
panions thought of them. all of which
was accomplished in the wierdest
possible manner.
Another popular feature Of the
evenings entertainment was a new
and interesting game known as strik-
ing the bell. And probably many, be-
sides the guests of the evening were
aware of the fact that "that bell did
strike"
Misses Ruth Rentz and Rhoda
Thomas gave several lovely musical
selections, and at late hour delic-
ious cream and cake were served by
! the hostess.
Those present were Misses Susie
