Prizes were won by Miss Dorothy Dugan and ( ’ Lynn Shoemake , 1 The Misses Cora and Carrie Dan- i iels of Mercer avenue, royally enter- s tained the girls of the True & Run- 1 yon store Wednesday evening, there ; being a round of games and music to ’ provide a good time, after which i there came an unexcelled good •eats.'' i i Mrs. J.

Albert did not have a hint of the affair and he had gone to the Hoithouse drug store in which he has an interest, to spend the evening. A call that he come home at once, brought him there breathless, not knowing whether good or ill news awaited him there. He was. however, pleasantly surprised by finding the large Company of friends there. They all made merry with many games, music and other amusements, and later there were delicious refreshments provided by Mrs. Sellemeyer and daughters, Della and Mrs. Fred Heuer, with Albert to assist in the serving. After spending a jolly good time there, the happy party wended its way home at a late hour, to the tune of the merry jingling o f the sleigh bells. An unusually delightful birthday party was given Wednesday evening by Mrs. John Sprague at. her home on Eleventh street for her husband, who celebrated his fifty-first birthday anniversary.
