Miss Fannie Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter V. Porter, entertained nine of her girl friends at a slumber party last evening and this morning the ten young ladks acted as hostesses and entertained ten young men at a 10 o’clock breakfast at the Porter home. The young ladies were, Misses Fannie Porter, Josie Porter, Myra Watson, Thena Meyer, Helen Lamson, Alice Drake, Lena Tuteuur, Martha Parkison, Juno Kannal and lome Imes. The boys were John Wade Laßue, Cleve Eger, Vaughn Woodworth, Arthur Tuteur, Frank Hardman, Wood Spitler, Emmet Laßue, Howard Mills and Rex Warner. Most of theyoung folks are graduates of the Rensselaer high school and most are or have been college students. It is suggested that the young ladies desired to close the leap year by proving their culinary abilities, and what was served must have been immensely satisfying for the beaus and swains did net make their getaway until 2:30 o’clock, long after the old and staid people had had both breakfast and dinner and were making arrangements for supper.
