i f 1 K I v i THE COURIER. Besides red and white carnation?, the room was decorated elaborately with United States and Cuban flags and bunting. Ribbons of the three colors extended from the chandelier to the corners of the tables. Little flags were pinned on each guest as a souvenir of the occasion. The ices and bon-bons were also of the national colore. The guests were inspired by the eight and' applauded heartily. Mrs. Clark was as stated in making the afternoon such a successful one by Mrs Ed Ewing, Mrs. A. G. Billmeyer and Miss Cowdrey. Mrs. Guilfoyle and daughter Christine were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ogden on Monday and Tuesday. They left on Wednesday for Kansas City to join Captain Guiiroyle, who is en route with the famous Ninth cavalry for Chica mauga. The newspapers say that Com pany I of the Ninth has been ordered to Cuba, but Company I belongs to that half of the regiment which has been on duty for a year. The other half of the regiment spent the year at headquarters and therefore will be calleu upon first for active duty, In tte few hours that Mra. Guilfoyle spent in the city she was greeted by many warm friends who were anxious to know about the prob able destination of the Captain and I troop. The whist circle consisting of Mrs. Outcalt, Beeson, C. L. Burr and others met at Mrs. Burr's home while Mrs. Guilfoyle was here and played a few games clever enough to turn the Union club specialists green with envy. the which they tied to a ring with a bright ribbon. After making the rounds of the 'playing tables each couple went next to the conversation table where punch was served. There were six prizes, three for the reds and three for the blacks. Each prize was tied up in a neat package, and these with the highest number of bells drew first, and then the next highest. Mrs. Leonard and Mrs. Corbin drew 'first, then Mrs. Tilton and Miss Anna Miller, then Mrs. Beeson and Mrs. L. C. Burr. The party was all the more en joyable on account of the unique point introduced.

The ice served at this table was in the shape and color of a rose, as were also the bon-bons, An other table was given to violets and an other to sweet peas.

Hargreaves. Mrs. Coffroth gave a most delightful euchre party on Thursday morn ing. The guests were divided into the blacks and reds, one set taking the gen tlemen's places. Tiny euchre cards were matched for partners. Instead of punches each one was given aslittle bell of cowardly concessions, and of the vul gar compromises apparently inseparable from the exercise of social power. Not only do these things eadden spirits t ! exceptional quality, but they provoke passionate protest, and foster also the haunting belief that there is somewhere an ampler horizon and a freer air, where in the soul can spread her wings and in dividuality can assert itself.

A visit enables you to see the vast array of other styles shown and fully realize what it means to procure strictly high class millinerj' at prices lower than you usually pay for the ordinary kind. DRESS A lady about to purchase a gown finds it GOODS a real pleasure to visit a de SUPREMACY partment where there is no limit of assortment, where every piece is new, fresh, nobby and stylish, and where she m..y depend upon securing the very best values t at her money can procure. A department possessing these advantages, as does ours, must be popular, it is bound to meet the approval of the buying pub lic and the house to which it belongs is looked upon as the fashion leader of the community.
