DOMESTIC SCIENCE CAPTIVATES. dimming Entertainment at West minster Show? Worth of Work. Westminster, Feb. 23.-Special: Some time ago th^ following heart shaped Invitation was Issued: "The members of the Domestic Sci ence Class ^ Cordially invite you to a dainty ro past in thc school kitchen, on Friday eve, From eight till eleven they'll receive; February the sixteenth is tho dnte When Valentine they'll colebrato. Be on time and look your best. For Cupid will be the honor guest." This occasion proved to be a most enjoyable one.

Maggie Barnett, Ida Ballenger, Hat I tie Ruth Cannon, Carmon Cross. I Wilda England, Eleanor Haley, Tem ple Ti m merman, Lucille Rochester j and Sare Lee Watkins assisted in i entertaining and receiving. Carlands of red hearts were draped on the snowy curtains and around tho lin- j maculate table. Ferns, red and white carnations made the decorations ! complete. After t)ie guests bad assembled, rod hearts were given to the young j mon, and keys to the young ladles, j Each man was asked to lind the key ! that would unlock his heart, and in | this way partners for "My Heart j Carno" were chosen. ' After this j game had been enjoyed for some j time, Supt. W. C. Taylor acted as 1 postmaster, and distributed to all present greetings of the Valentine season. Bags containing various ar ticles from the kitchen, and the for tune which these articles carried, were drawn. For instance, the bag that contained the potato had this prophecy: "Your sweetheart's a man that's slow, . But he will always work the potato row." Then came the hunt for hearts that were hidden about the room. Chas. Anderson proved to bo most adept In the art of capturing hearts. The young men were given a chance to show their skill as marksmen, for they chose their partners for supper by shooting an arrow at a large heart divided into sections. Each section contained the name of a young lady present. The supper was Indeed a dainty and a delicious one. Pineap ple salad, garnished with red heart shaped pimento, was served with heart-shaped banana sandwiches, tri angular raisin and nut sandwiches, cheese straws and hot chocolate. Af ter the salad plates were' removed, smaller plates were placed before the guests which contained compotes of Delmonico with cherries.

Wells, of Clemson College, for the best work in "My Heart Came." To the music of thc victrola the "dish washing game" was played. In this the young ladles wore given an opportunity to find the most efficient assistant house-keeper. By the time tho judges could decide all tho dishes were cleaned and put away. For the prize-a young lady's heart--the fol lowing young men tied: B. J. Wells, DoWitt Miller. Henry Evatts and Harry Dillard. The honor guests of tho evening were Miss Maggie Arnold, Messrs. A. L. Gossett, B. J. Wells. De Witt Mil ler, Henry Evans, Aldine Dearden, Harry Dillard, Archer Dillard. Chas. Anderson and Jesse Tlmmermnn. Chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Tay lor and Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
