A Pickle Party—Do You Know What It Is?—Lots of Fun.

Miss Mabel Effmeyer was hostess Friday evening at a “Pickle Party,” whatever that is, at Fate’s College Inn. The guests were the employes at D. A. Kloethe’s Fire Sale. There were twenty in all and pickles had no significance on the countenances ot£ the participants, lor there was not a sour face in the bunch. The piarty first went to the show and then went to the restaurant, where Miss Effmeyer encouraged each to eat without restraint and informed them that tiers was the only good money in the crowd. There seems to be a mystery connected with the pickle application, and it is rumored that there had been considerable rivalry at the store as to who would be the one to sell an entire barrel of pickles. Miss Effmeyer accomplished this with the Makeever hotel as the purchaser. Prompted by jealousy Shoe Clerk Barber mailed Miss Effmeyer a pickle through the postoffice arid Boyd Porter had a hand in the eu cumber-vinegar deal that has not been made public, but there was the very best of good feeling and The Republican is asked to state that Boyd will be pleased to explain what a pickle party is if inquiries are made after business hours. Special attention given to inquisitions from good lookng girls.
