C. y One of the most novel and unique entertainments that it has been the pleasure of the members of the G. G. Club to attend was a "Swastika Party," given by its president,-Miss Eloise Strother, last Thursday after noon, at her beautiful heme on Main street. A very important business meeting, over which Miss Strother presided with all the grace and dig nity which becomes a club president, was concluded at 4 o'clock, and the members of the G. G, C. joined the hostess in welcoming a few friends to their meeting. The lovely parlor in which Miss Strother Received her guests was made very attractive by its decora tions of crimson and white, the colors used throug'itut the entertainment. First, each guest was handed a pret ty white folder, through which was looped a dainty red pencil and cord. These folders were found to contain a most interesting and appropriate contest, "A Bevy of Misses." Each of the papers was numbered, and those who held the same number were to be partners in guessing. As the contest proceeded all was excite ment and merriment, each couple try ing to outdo the other. The following are taken from the list of questions: 1. A liberal girl-Misgive. 2. The engaged girl-Mistaken. 3. Convulsive girl-Misfit. 4. Chewing gum girl--Mlschoose. At the last minute of the time al lowed for tho contest, each one sign ed her name to her paper and passed lt to the one to her right for correc tion. As the hostess read out the answers, each one v.*as delighted to find that she had so few misses. The entire eighteen questions were an swered correctly by four of the con testants-Misses Sue Maxwell, Olive Maxwell, Bertha Schumacher and Lula Earle. But the prize, "being of such a nature that, it would be im practicable to divide it," was drawn for with strawB, Miss Sue Maxwell getting the lucky straw. Miss Stroth er presented her with a pretty swas tika stickpin of sterling silver, en ameled in red, the design being the old Sanscrit emblem for peace, pros perity, prolonged life. After the enthusiasm aroused by the contest had somewhat subsided the guests were seated at small ta bles, arranged in different parts of the room. Appropriate centerpieces consisted of artistic squares of drawn-work, on which were placed handsome vases of beautiful red and white roses. All found their places at the table by means of dainty place cards, tied with crimson cords, and stamped with a swastika seal of crimson and gold, bearing the sig nificance of the emblem-good luck, prosperity, long life. A delightful salad course-chicken salad, stuffed olives, cheese straws, Saratoga chips, butter sandwiches and butter thins, and delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream-was served, to which no one was at all Indifferent. After a fow moments of pleasant gossip a jolly and appreciative "Bevy of Misses" said "au revoir" to their kind hostess and to each other. We were pleased to have with us our ex-president, Miss Mamie Harri son; also Misses Sue and Olive Max well. A Significant Prayer.
