THE BLEST. The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night; And grief may bide an evening guest, But joy shall come with early light. Nor let the good man's trust depart. Though life it's common gifts deny, Though with a pierced and broken heart, And spurned of men, he goes to die. For God has marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear; And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all His children suffer here. William Cullen Bryant.
ELABORATE PARTY. Outclassing anything of its kind ever given at the Country club was the beautiful party of Saturday evening having for its hosts and hostesses, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gennett, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Iliatt and Mr. and Mrs. II. R. Robinson. The affair was in the nature of a card party and dance. About one hundred and twentySve invitations had been issued, their being about ninety acceptances. The country club never presented such an attractive appearance as it did on this occasion. The weather added much to the success of the event. The ball room was
handsomely embellished in green, Chinese lanterns and flags. In the other rooms snowballs and bridal wreaths was used copiously, the mantle pieces and windows being banked with the bridal wreaths. Palms also added to the effectiveness of the decorative motif. In the dining room the scene presented was a most brilliant one. Myriads of candles capped with pretty shades were used in the appointments. Red tulips formed an attractive centerpiece for the table. The flowers "were also placed on the buffet. Bridge was played at five tables. The favors went to Mr. and Mrs. Omar Murray, Mr. James Carr and Mrs. Howard Campbell. The other guests enjoyed dancing throughout the evening. The Hick's orchestra furnished the dance music The elegant evening gowns worn by the women made the affair even more attractive.
