Miss Ethel Davis Entertains Fifteen Girls at Slumber Party.

Miss Ethel Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Davis, entertained fifteen school girl friends at a slumber party Monday evening. These parties are so named because the participants slumber but mighty little during the continuance of the party. The evening was spent, in various amuse-: ments growing out of a string drawing contest. In the center of a table was a large pumpkin and from k strings extended in different directions, and each girl chose a string and pulling it from the pumpkin, found a little note a]t the end which required her to perform some “stunt,” such as singing a song, speaking a piece or telling a story. The unpreparednesq, of the guests was forced to give way to a general demand that the instructions contained in the note be carried out and a very jolly time was had. Fortune telling and spook stories entertained. the guests until the midnight lunch was served and the girls retired, but there was not much sleeping and when the breakfast call was given there were fifteen sleepyheads ready to resume the merriment of the night before. It was one of the most pleasant parties given by the younger set this year.
