It was filled with favors to which ribbons were attached, each guest being allowed a pull. To the guests as each entered was presented a small red hatchet with the words, "I can not tell a lie." In harmony with the setting were the members of the receiving party and the guests, many of whom had attired themselves in excellent lmlta tlons of old-time raiment.
