We would like to know what grudge
the council owed the mothers in thin
town that they should bring the oarnival

entire program as a prelude to this
week's attractions. Of oourse, this in
oludes the high diver, the low dodger, and
etcetera, with all the casualties inoident
thereto. The streets present a cosmo
politan appearance, whioh ' bespeaks a
widely foreign element to the oarnival
attractions.
Next week we are promised an all
week's engagement by a tent show. Af
terwards we expeot big things of the

Miss Bessie L. Peatrose waa hostess to

the affair being given complimentary to
her chancing visitor, Miss Annie Leokey,
of Chester. The occasion ' was one of
distinot ohsrm, the hostess sparing no
pains to make lt in every way creditablo
to the fair honoree. The decorations
were elaborate, in wbiob the olub colors,
red and white, were need in most effect
ive arrangement. The parlor, hall and
dining room were used and were dark
ened, red lights from shaded lamps and
candles enhanoing the effect of the color
scheme. Upon the arrival of the guests
they were given leaflets containing lists
of mismatched heroes and heroines,
whioh were to be properly matched,
blank leaflets, with corresponding num
bers, being used for that purpose, the
guests working in couples. A lively con
test ensued, resulting in the prize, ex
quisite manloure articles, going to Misses
Mary Cherry and Ellen Todd, whioh
they presented the gneat of honor. Tho
hostess then asked the company into the
dining room, where a delightful three
course luncheon waa served. The usual
small tables were conspicuously absent,
one long table seating the entire Com
pany. Butterfly decorations were used
in many beautiful conceits. The plaoo
oards bore on one corner a tiny butterfly,
the broad streamers extending from tho
ohandelier to the corners of the table
were confined by immense butterflies
in the most gorgeous oolorlng.
The centerpiece, a pot plant of oaotus,
ablaze with brilliant blooms, rested upon
a handsome battenburg piece, whose
proportions were outlined by tiny rod
jap?nicas. These were also showered
upon the snowy doth in pretty effect.
The menu, consisting of a salad oourse,
coffee, loos, oakes and orystalized ginger,
was beautifully served, the colors being
in evidence throughout Mrs. Wm.
Neill proved an invaluable assistant to
tho boatos? in serving and the beautiful
affair goes into history as being one of
the most sucoossf ul of the long list whioh
fills the past season's calendar.
