Mrs. w. H. Young has been giving
holiday series of parties in honor
of her niece, Miss Fannie Sherrell,
Of Kansas City, Mo-, who is her guest
for the winter The first was a din
ner party Christmas afternoon. The
guests of honor were Misses Fannie

zona Normal school, where she is a
resident. student in Morton Hall. The
other guests were Mr.. and Mrs. John

and Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Harris.
The dinner was beautifully served
In eight courses and the holiday spir-
It prevailed throughout the afternoon
and evening. The POSTMASTER was
Mr.. L. J. Harris. but why-oh. why
did he pronounce a benediction when
asked to bless the table?
The next party occurred on Dec.
29th I'm the form of a fancy dress
mask soiree. The house was beau
tifully. decorated, and music was fur
nished by the talented guests and the
Yictrola. Almost the first to appear
was General and Lady Washington in
white wigs and beautiful satins. Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Page made one think
OF the long-lamented general and wife
as again in our midst, while Miss
Marguerite Page, with her pretty face
and winsome ways, fluttered here and
there, a perfect Madame Butterfly.
Mrs. Jacob Tull, as Miss Columbia,
and Mr.. Paris Tabron, as Uncle Sam,
next attracted the eye, and then came
the crowd, so brilliant as to defy de-
scription. Mrs. John Garner was the
"yamp" from Bean Blossom, Indiana.
while Mrs. W. H. Young appeared as
an old-fashioned spinster in flowered
petticoats and pantalettes. Misses
Fannie Sherrell and Helen Vance were
the village cut7ups as sunbonnet ta-
bies. while Russell Cannon, in short
skirts and brown curls, had more than
one woman planning a divorce. The
men certainly fell for Russeps shape.
Nrs. Anderson, with gray wig and old
fashioned gown, made a beautiful
civil war dame. while Mr.. Anderson
was her wild and wilful sister with
an utter disregard of whose husband
she flirted with. Raymond Coleman,
with blackened face and overalls, was
typical stevedore. Mr.. John Garner
was the hit Of the evening as an aero
batic sky pilot. and w. H. Young and
Jacob Tull stalked in Yama Yamas
like spooks OF old. Mrs. Thomas King
was q winsome Spanish picador, while
little Amanda King was Tom
Thumb bride. Jennie Rose was ev-
cry ones baby and the pet of the
evening. Mrs. Paris Tabron was the
Humpty-Dumpty who sat on the wall
all evening, while Mrs L. ]. Harris
and her husband made a handsome
couple as soldier and Red Cross nurse.
Other guests were Mr.. and Mrs. D.
]. Todd, Mr.. Eugene Lindell, Mr.. Thos.
King, Mrs. F. H. Alexander, Mr.. G..
Scales and Mr.. Guy Bostick
At II o'clock the masks were re-
moved and a dainty luncheon was
served in two courses. At IL the
party broke up and thus ended the
most pleasant evening spent in many
years.
Mrs. Eliza Moker, widow of the late
Marshall Moker, has returned from a
visit with her daughter in Berkeley,

Mrs. G. Scales, while automobiling
, with Mr.. and Mrs. L. A McCarty, met
with Ia severe accident last week.

A quiet wedding occurred Sunday
afternoon at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. D. Alexander when Rev. s. New
ell and Mrs. Mccullough were united
in the holy bonds. After the cere-
mony the few friends present were
served a sumptuous repast by that
nonpareil cateress, Mrs. w. D.
Christmas eve was happy time for
the colored soldiers and the Sunday
school kiddies, when they filed into
the Peoples A. M. E. 2. church and
saw the tree laden with goodies pro-
vided by Santa. One of the best pro.
grams ever rendered in Prescott was
delivered by the kiddies and solos
were sung by Misses Fannie Sherrell
and Helen Vance, Miss Mayme Lin
dell presiding at the organ.
