A CHINA WEDDING

TN wednesday evening, Jhnuary
the 23rd, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W.
Burke celebrated their twentieth
wedding anniversary with an even
ing reception At their home in June
tion City. The guests were received
by the bride and groom Of twenty
years, IN that hospitable way, which
in itself was an assurance in advance
Of n generously good time. II IS the
memory Of other days that attract TO
the magnet OF the past, and the en-
joyable hours Of the occasion were
so closely linked with the delightful
interesting hours Of twenty years ago
that any mention Of the event is in
complete without reference 90 II
Various games, new and old were
introduced which were much enjoy
ed. "Whirl the plate" and finding The
ring, brought an hour Of great pleas
ure. "Wig-wag" informally, but very
forcibly introduced by DIR. VI. 5.
Chase. caused much laughter. Per
haps no feature Of the evening re-
suited in as much wonder and pleas
ant comment as the "Mouldin"
Contest" in which the guests were
requested to mould into perfect
shape and symmetry if possible with
softened paraffin, some animal. Quite
as much energy was executed in the
experiment as could be imagined
But after arduous effort the prize,
beautiful china plate, was awarded
by the Judges, Mr.. !. G. Brown, Mr..
T.. x. Galbrcath, TO Mrs. Hill Jen-
ninys. whose model of a white pig
con, was almost perfect. Mr.. kriener
whose model Of a dog, was hardly
| recognizable, was awarded the BOBBY
prize, bar of Lenox soap, regula-
ton size. The musical program was
especially appreciated. The old time
songs, and different solos brought
much applause. Scores Of beautiful
pieces of china were received, one OF
the prettiest, a dozen white and gold
plates from the Embroidery Club, of
which Mrs. Burke is a member, with
the card bearing names Of the Ia
dies giving the plates Mrs. Burke
was assisted by Mrs. Louis Kriener,
Mrs. VI. c. Helm and Mrs. Jesse Car
pcnter in extending Inequalities. De-
lightful refreshments were served af-
ter which social hour filled with
reminiscencc of the past followed.
The minds and hearts seemed to go
| back even farther than twenty years
and very large number of guest
entered with much enthusiasm into
playing Skip-to-my-Lou." This how
ever ended, as all things must, and
al late hour the guests with much
regret babe very kind good night
