FOR GOOD OLD ST. PATRICK
Shamrock Party at The Holly Ion Keeps
Patron Saint's Memory Green
Costume, Decoration and Even II e
fretaiiint, Sugrg-eitt Occasion and
The Fair Emerald lale
FRIDAY evening's
"Shamrock Party" at
The Holly Inn, was a
pretty tribute to good
old St. Patrick, the only
one of the patron saints
whose memory we real
ly keep "green;" cos
tumes and decorations
appropriate to the occasion making the af
fair one which was enjoyed by the entire
household. Very dainty were the young
women in flowing white robes, relieved
by emerald ribbons and set off by helmet
bonnets and "wing" sleeves, con
trasting vividly with the sombre evening
dress of the men and their wide breast
ribbons. Above the entrance door to
the music hall two Erin flags were cross
ed, their golden harps suggestive of the
gayety of the occasion ; emerald stream
ers stretching out like the dear little
shamrock, from the centre of the hall,
above the floor. And even the refresh
ments suggested the Emerald Isle ; creme
de menthe punch as cold as the. "blarney
stone," and frosted cakes as exquisite as
the spring flowers which dot the moors.
Several cotillion figures led by Mr.
Leslie D. Pierce and Miss Virginia B.
Lopez, and Mr. J. R. Mitchell and Miss
Bernadette M. Herman, added to the in
terest of the dancing which began at nine
and ceased at midnight.
The matrons of the evening were Mrs.
N. C. Osgood and Mrs. J. M. Thompson ;
the dancers : Mr. and Mrs. F.II.McGraw,
Mesdames C. A. Wilson, J. II. Horner, L.
G. Morrill and Frank Wight, Misses Con
ley,Betts,Osgood,Linsley, Allen, Perkins,
Russell and Northrup, and Messrs. Phil
lips, Hutoff, Crouse, Osgood, Taylor,
Hayden, Foot and Perkins. Details of
arrangement were in the hands of Misses
Lopez, Conley and Herman and to whom
the success of the affair was largely due."

group including Mr. and Mrs. Beachey,
