Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Milton Cooper chose sides, while Miss Houser acted as school mistress. Mrs. Cooper’s side won. No prizes-were given, as it was only for amusement. Ail were then invited into the dining room, where things were indeed lovely, roses, ferns [and soft crimson lights making us feel that fairy land was not far away.
