host and hostess at a tacky party
and dance on Wednesday evening.
The thirty or more guests spent a
very delightful evening at the old
Miller house, located on the crest
of a hill, one mile north of town.
Everything was ideal for a "tacky"
party. The house has no doors or
windows and is said to be haunted
by the more suspicious people,
The Molina Brothers orchestra
furnished the music while the
dancers danced. Oscar Samuelson
and Mrs. A. f. Phillips won the
prizes for the tackiest costumes.
This was, indeed, very unique
social affair for the younger set.
Mrs. c. M. Cole and her Sunday
school class spent a delightful day

themselves. At a late hour the
picnickers returned to Artesia, a
tired but very grateful group Of
girls. Eleven members of the
class were in the party.
