Exquisite was the card party given
on Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Max
Israelson, at her home on Wenona
street. The rooms where the tables
were arranged were decorated with
quantities of asparagus plumosa,
which was on the stairway lights, and
with the beautiful spring flowers ev-
erywhere the house was extremely
lovely. Pink and white sweet peas,
larkspur of the delicate shades, and
many roses were the chosen flowers,
and never before have any prettier
ones been seen. With these as a back
ground it made the guests enjoy the
games the more. There were eight
tables of players who enjoyed the
game of auction, and the players were
joined later by twenty other guests
who enjoyed watching the game. For
being the best player of the after
noon Mrs. o. E. Cox was given an ex-
quisite handmade tea cloth and nap
kins to match. She was quite the
envy of all, as her prize was so pret-
ty. For having poor luck Mrs. Har-
ry Walters was consoled by being
given a very pretty tray cloth.
During the afternoon Mrs. Israel
son was assisted in entertaining her
guests by Mrs. William Wolff and
Miss Rose Wolff and Misses Louise

joyable games of auction were over

cloths, and a two-course supper of
chicken salad, sandwiches, olives, ice
cream. cake and coffee was enjoyed
This AFTERNOON with Mrs Israelson
was one of great pleasure and was en-
joyed by all who were present.
