A. Dugan | Thursday evening, especially delight-1 ful. The reception and large living’ rooms of the spacious and beautiful ■ Dugan home, which were thrown into ' one large room, were charming in; their banks of ferns and potted making a living greenery of the broad, wide pedestals at the foot of the broad open stairway, while many little tables through the rooms, and the , mantels above the cheery open fire- j I place, bloomed with pots of fragrant i white narcissus and golden crocus —. flowers of the Eastertide.

each given a little booklet, decorated I with a dainty little yellow bonnet done In water colors, under which was the inscription: “Take off your Easter bonnet, And join the Shakespeare 'bunch There’ll be pleasure when you've done it, And then a bit of luncjt.” When the bonnets and wraps had been doffed, the guests took a peep at the second page of the booklet, which gave the outline of the evening's entertainment, and was certainly a very unique one; and for which the entertainment committee who prepared the same is recelvig many compliments. The subject was "A Comedy in Five Acts" and below this was given the synopsis of each act—just a little hint inciting the curiosity of all. Act I was entitled, "Music has power to soothe the savage breast," and was carried out by Mrs. C. J. Lutz, with a very beautiful piano solo. Act II was prefaced with 0 wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursel’s as others see us!” And this was carried out by an eggcarrying contest In which only the men were participants. “Sides’’ were chosen by the men, with Earl B. Adams for the "white linens.” and D. M. Hensley for the “yellows," as “liners up” and then began the contest. One side was given white eggs and the other yellow ones and the men were required to vie in carrying the greatest number on a knife blade to a table. The women enjoying looking at this very much, but the gentlemen were no doubt glad that they “couldn't see themse's.’’ it is said that the yellow side claims the honors. Act 111, “And thereby hangs a tale,” brought forth a very agreeable entertainment, which proved to be book charades. The library was given over to the stage, and with the assistance of the young girls, the titles of books were enacted, and guessed ! by the company. Another feature was the answering of questions with words beginning with “eggs" (ex). Act IV, "Eat, drink and be merry," brought a change of setting in the comedy, the scene shifting to the long and spacious dining room, which had hitherto ben closed. When the doors were swung open, a brilliant and beautiful i sight burst forth. The large chandejlier in the center of the room was ' glowing under a bower of delicate , white Easter lilies, and above were I lour yellow-hooded candles, casting a mellow glow over all. Below the ' chandelier was the long table, the cen--1 terpiece of which was a mass of five 1 pots of yellow narcissus around which i were laid fronds of ferns, and the (other beautiful decorations of this ' room were carried out in white and I yellow. The two-course luncheon ' was self-served, buffet style, from this ■ table, and smaller tables, and was ’ very delicious to the palate as well as good to look at. The second course included ice cream, molded in the , form of little chickens, and the cake ! was molded in the shape of eggs. Folj lowing this was the closing, Act V, , “As you like it,” when all mingled and : did just "as they liked,” and it was far into the wee sma' hours of the mornl ing when the festivities ended. During the entire evening, music by Miss Jean Lutz and the Misses Naomi and Dorothy Dugan, added much to the pleasure of all. The Shakespeare ladies were assisted in entertaining by the Misses Dugan. Winifred Burke and Veda Hensley and others of the young girls. Among the out-of-town
