Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 December 1890 — A Perfectly Pleasant Party. [ARTICLE]

A Perfectly Pleasant Party.

“Fortunes Favorites” gave their first entertainment under the guise of a masquerade, Saturday night, at the residence of their President, Miss ; Maude Spitler. A great variety of odd and groi tesque characters, from the gay little I flower girl and mischievous school i girl with first reader, to the decrepit ! old woman busily engaged with her ! smoking and knitting, were repie- | seated. The gay Mexican was there ! aud near by in striking contrast was | the clown from the circus ring, the knight errant of “ye olden tymes,” the burly old toper, and many others too numerous to mention. One feature of the evening was a talking match which occupied about 15 minutes. One lady was presented with an iron and holder, while another talked so much she was given aaowl —the emblem of wisdom. Refreshments were served in Mrs. Spider’s inimitable manner, soon* after the company unmasked. . Several guests were present from abroad and expressed their appreciation of the entertainment in the warmest terms, while all unanimously ,• pronounced it the most enjoyable affair of the kind they ever attended.
