a membership contest waging between
the boys and girls of the Epworth
League The girls, being on the win
ming side, were entertained by the
boys, on the losing side, Friday night,
at Mystic Supper at the home Of
Rev. and Mrs. c. w. White
AS the guests entered each was
given card on which was written q
mysterious sentence. Later on in the
evening, these were read, causing
much merriment. Music and games
were enjoyed, until each person was
gwen a slip of paper with either a
question or an answer on it. When
the questions had found their correct
answers, they lined up as partners to
enter the Cafe de Mystery The
guests were seated at two long tables,
conferred with pretty pot flowers.
Posted throughout the cafe we're
signs reading: Talk more and eat
less or Don't tip the walters The
menu cards were as follows:
Consomme natural la terra firma
(water); pretty points (toothpicks) !;
fairy nectar (coffee); Florida celebri-
ties foysterettes); three peas (pep-
peri; reptiles (oyster SOUP; that
which the league should do (ketch-
up); school girls favorite (picklesl J;
an old sailor (salt); Mrs. Virgins
fcabbage salad flattery (sugar) !:
argua frio la terra firma (icel !:
magistrates kin (potatoes).
Owing to an increase in the high
cost of living the patrons were re-
quested not to order over five dishes.
White aproned walters took the or.
deTs, though no one knew what they
were doing to receive, as there We're
mo translations on the menu cards
Much merriment was caused, how
ever, when the orders began to arrive.
Some who flattered themselves on be-
ing able to translate the menu, re-
ceived such orders as pepper, salt
sugar, ketchup, pickles. Some faces
were beginning to show real concern
when the kind-hearted walters, hav-
ing pity, brought to each person a
real order.
