Character Representation Party On Wedding Anniversary.

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Holden are two cf Rensselaer's, most hospitable and clever entertainers, and the character representation party given by then Monday night was very enjoyable. The event was occasioned by the sixteenth anniversary of the host and hostess, and including themselves sixteen couples participated in the pleasures of the evening. Mrs. Grant Warner, as a negro woman, was voted the best character of the women and E. D. Rhoades as Weary Willie received similar recognition among the men. His makeup was very clever, and he was the typical peripatetic oi funny page fame from the Prince Albert coat and tin can to the old hat with the matches in the brim. The originality and art of the costuming was general among the guests and there was mirth throughout the evening.
