Many Ladies Guests at Two Afternoon Parties This Week.

Mrs. S. C. Irwin, Mrs. L. H. Hamilton and Mrs. Anna Tuteur were hostesses Thursday and Friday afternoon of this week to about 140 invited guests. Thursday afternoon a novel guessing contest was introduced, all of the answers ending in the word “age,” as, “For what does a soldier pray when he enters a battle?” Answer, “Courage.” “Of what is a treasurer sometimes accused?” Answer, “Shortage.” Mrs. J. D. Allman excelled at answering the questions. Friday afternoon six handed euchre was played at ten tables. The hostesses were very busy in Beeing that the guests were having a good time and the parties are reported to have been very enjoyable. Refreshments were served both days.
