At the Home of Miss Virginia
McDaniel Last Evening.
One of the most delightful enter
talnments held in this city for some
time was that of last evening when
the seniors entertained, very inform
ally, the Juniors at a shirtwaist party,
at the charming home of Miss Virgie
McDaniel. For the occasion the
front parlor had been prettily decor
ated in the senior colors, gold and
brown and snowballs. Taper Btream
era and pennants in the senior col
ore were festooned from the chandl-
leer to the four corners of the room.
The back parlor was attractively de
corated with penants and paper
streamers in the Junior colors, black
and gold, and huge bundles of snow
balls.
A very entertaining program had
eed for and which was
rendered during the evening. The
first number was a selection by the
trio on piano, violin and mandolin
by Misses Virgie McDaniel, Hattie
Hoffman and Carrie Sherwood, which
was a fine number and brilliantly
Veeuted. Thin ths followed by
plmo solos by Misses Hatte Hoffman
and Viruib xvfcDaniel, which were
charmingly rendered. The program
was much increased in Interest by
the readings given by Miss Marie
Douglas and Miss Mildred Cummins
They were at their best and kept the
audience thoroughly at attention by
their finished style and manner of
reciting. Mr. llarrlnon also gave a
recitation, and he was at his best
and made a hit with the audience,
A guessing contest was then intro
duccd and which taxed the memory
of tho guests when they were re
quired to guess the advertisements
the pictures of which had been plac
f;d about the room, represented. John
Falter captured the first prize and
Derwood Lynde the booby prize. The
game "Peter Coddles Trip to New
York" was then Indulged in, th
participation in this causing consld
eralile merriment. Delicious re
freshments were served and an hou
or so spent in music, social conver
satlon and the like brought to
close another most enjoyable occas
Ion, which the seniors and Juniors
will long remember.

Four of the new 22 class locomo
tives which the Burlington recently
ordered from the American Locomo
tive company, passed through the
ritv last evening en route west. Two
of the engines went west under their
own steam and two others were
brought over by the switch crew
from the Junction. The engines at
tracted much attention among rail
road men at the depot and are big
and tpowerful engines. Notice "of
the purchase of these locomotives
was given several days since in the
Journal. In connection with these
engines the following dispatch in
the State Journal shows more activ
ity on the part of the Burlington and
indicates the expenditure of consid
erable money by that system in the

A Farewell Surprise.
On Wednesday evening Miss Laura
Moore was made the recipient of a
most delightful surprise party. The
occasion was made In the nature of a
farewell, as Miss Laura will depart
for Kansas the latter part of next
week, where she will reside in the
future. The most enjoyable surprise
had been secretly planned and ar
ranged for a number of Miss Laura's
schoolmates and friends, who were
assisted by Mrs; M. Bajeck, and was
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Bajeck on West Main street. The
assembled fr'.ends and schoolmates en
Joyed an evening which will long be
remembered. The various puns and
pranks were entered into with much
interest and enthusiasm, and pro
duced much merriment. During the
evening an elegant luncheon was serv
ed. which elicited many compli
ments. Dainty place cards, done in
water colors, and bearing the names
of the guests were found at each
plate. We have it confidentially
from one who was there, that for
downright enjoyment, the occasion
was the best it was ever her good
fortune to participate in, the only
thing to detract from the enjoyment
af the evening being the thought that
Miss Laura was soon to move away.
