cial affairs given during the holi
days was a New Year's pasty
given by Lillian Field at her
home on Church street.

a very pretty one. Refreshments
were served in the dining room.
Over the table in the center of
the room was hung a large bell
from which resolutions were
drawn as Souvenirs.
The amusements of the even
ing were a guessing contest and
progressive games. The prize

latter Donald Boyden was the
successful one and was awarded
a box of stationery.

My friend, help the editor in
his wild-eyed search for news.
When your friends come to see
you, if you are not ashamed of
it, tell him; when your wife gives
a tea party if you have recover
ed from the effects of the gossip,
drop in with the news, when a
b.iby arrives fill your pockets
-with cigars and call; if you go to
i party steal some of the good
things, and leave 'em with the
item in our sanctum. If your
;vife licks you come in and let
us see your scars and tender
.sympathy through the paper; if
your mother-in-law has died
don't be bashful about it; give in
all the common place news. In
short whatever makes vou feel
proud, sad, lonesome or glad sub
mit it to our 24 karat wisdom
and see our matted locks part
and stand on end with gratitude
which will pour from every pore
moisture from the dew be
spridkled earth.
