PROSPEROUS PROSPERITY

Prosperity, Feb. 13.-The Valen-
tine season began Friday night when

pei gave "Kewpie Social at the
home of Misses Susie and Mary Lang

a continuous round Of gayety and
merriment from the beginning to the
end of the party. The guests were
greeted by Misses Langford and Miss
es Nellie Mae Dasher, chairman of

stunts of the evening were interspers-

visitors were present. In an exciting
'.Kewpie Quoits" game, the Billikens
scored highest and won from the
Kewpies a box Of Sweetheart"
which the captain of the team gener-
ously shared with the opposing team.
The guests were then paired by means
of some special feat in which the boys
feet were stuck from behind a screen
and the girls made their selection
thuswise. The girls cut out Kewpies
and the boys dressed them in Valen-
tine colors. Miss Lucy Lake won the
highest distinction in having the most
attractive .cut-out. In an. archery con-
test the Kewpies beat the Billikens
two to one-thereby winning Ounce
cap. kilograms were next sent to
the absent leaguers, using the letters
in the word Kewpie for the initial let
tiers in the words of the telegram.

were told, after which the closing
game was enjoyed, a Kewpie Jangle.
