DELIGHTFUL IN EVERf WAY
WAS DOUBLE TEN PARTf

Undoubtedly one of the most unique
and most enjoyable parties OF
the 1861 social season was the one
given Saturday night by the Double
Ten club at the pleasant home OF Mr.
and Mrs. George Neils This party was
the last one of the season preceding
the summer intermission and it also
marked the fifth year since the club $
organization. Therefore Mrs. Neils, as
sisted by Mrs. August Wichman,
worked into the evenings entertain
ment many extremely clever phases OF
the wooden idea as appropriate tor the
fifth anniversary.
This wooden idea found expression
through motif that could be very wen
described as a logging party As the
guests entered the home, they found
pine trees standing in corners and pine
branches in attractive groupings. rive
lighted candles on table, the candles
held upright in tiny wooden stunps'
represented the five years OF the CLUB
existence. Guests were asked to draw
their score cards which consisted OF
thin cross sections OF small flr Tree.
These bore the designation OF various
logging camps, such as Flower creek
camp, Leonia camp, Pipe creek camp
etc. Table markers consisted OF sinii-
lar thin cross sections of fir, named
to correspond with the score cards.
Scores were marked down by the use
of heavy logging crayons Then as, the
pinochle players progressed they moved
from one logging camp to another. Inc
hell customarily used at the head table
consisted of an iron in the shape OF
a u. with railroad spike for the ham
mer This represented the steel tri-
angle used at logging camps to call the
woodsmen ito come and get It and was
clattered at the end of each game.
AT the conclusion of the games, the
logging idea was also the chief motif
in the refreshments. And here IT
should be further explained that TINS
