frolic, the delightful occasion be

In the center of the dining

were banked in the windows.
The two long tables, at each
of which covers were laid for
thirty, were arranged on either
side of the room. For their cen
tral decoration they had attractive
snow scenes. Placed at intervals
were green candle sticks holding
red unshaded candles, tied with
red ribbon. Marking each place,
were red paper baskets holding
candy.

Speeches.
Each lady was asked to make
a short speech about her escort,
using his Exchange Club name.
Mrs, J. W. Touchstone won the
prize, a pair of silk hose, with
her attractive verse, “None of you
has ever lived in clover, Until
you’ve been married to a Duke of
Rover. tt
The ladies were given eggs,
which they were to pass from one
to another until Dr. Latimer call
ed time. The lady in whose hands
the eggs were was to make a
speech. There was much scramb
ling and eacV lady tried not to be
the one caught with the eggs.
When time was called, Mrs. James
Powell was the unlucky lady. But
she turned out to be very lucky,
as she was presented a pair of
silk hose instead of being asked
to make a speech.

crate of oranges and Mrs. Homer
