The Show o o closes Saturday night. o oooooooooooooooooooo Purty for Younger Set. On Saturday afternoon, January 2, Hcppner's youngest social sot made it's debut. Mrs. L. N. Chrls tonsen was hostess at a very interest ing, as well as unique diversion from the usual run of parties. Sho had as her guests nino babies, all under one year of age, chaperoned by the re spective mothers. The hour of arri val was early, due to the tender age of the little people, and at two-fifteen the front yard began to take on the appearance of a garage and a very young one at that. Little Margery Clark opened the door and Mrs. Christensen directed the way to the bedroom where wraps were disposed of. No entertainment was necessary as each young guest was entertainment sufficient unto himself. A vote was taken and prize award ed to the most popular baby present. This naturally fell to the lot of Baby McMurdo, In whose honor the party was given. This fortunate young gentleman received a silver mug as his reward. The dining room was a delight to every mother's heart. Not the small est detail had been overlooked to make the table complete in attrac tive appointments. A color scheme of pink and white was in evidence here. A bouquet of pink carnations was on the table, find a single flower at each plate. Quantities of green ery were trailed over the table cloth and at various places over the festal board cunning little china kewpies were stationed. The centerpiece con sisted of a miniature cradle from which protruded mysterious pink ribbons. A small nurse stood at the head of the cradle ready to tuck her diminutive charge into the downy bed, over which at the foot presided a wise looking old stork. The places were found with the assistance of at tractive little cards. A tiny babycar rlage filled with salted nuts was also before each plate. The first course was wrapped and tied in pink paper and ribbon and upon examination proved to be the ever present nursing bottle, only greatly reduced In size, filled with the purest and best from the Alfalfa Lawn Dairy. Next course consisted of fruit salad, pimento cheese sand wiches, olives, salted nuts, coffee, and lastly, pink ice cream and two kinds of cake. Just before the guests arose from the table each was requested to pull one of the ribbons from the cradle and was rewarded with another little pink package, which upon being opened, was found to be that ever faithful, tlio small, hot water bottle. The hostess was assisted in serv ing by Mcsdames M. D. Clark and B. R. Patterson. Informality was the keynote of the entire afternoon, and the kiddles themselves helped Mrs. Christensen in no small degree in making the party a complete success. Those enjoying Mrs. Chiistensen's hospitality were Mesdames J. L. Wil kins, H. A. Emerson, Chas. Thomson, A. D. McMurdo, H. C. Ashbaugh, Geo. Thomson, W. R. Irwin, Jesse Beardsley, and 0. G. Crawford. The small guests were Frances Margaret Wilklns, Alice Averill Emerson, Earl William Thomson, Charles Edward McMurdo, Elizabeth Ashbaugh, Theo dore Edward Thomson, Elizabeth Ann Irwin, Loren Ernest Beardsley, and Dorothy Jean Crawford. Watch Party at Hoht. Allstott's. One of the most enjoyable parties ever held on Eight Mile took place at the home of Robert Allstott on last Friday evening. The affair was given in the form qf a watch-party, those present sitting up to watch the old year out and the new year in. Mr. Allstott invited his guests to come early and the fore part of' the eve ning was spent in partaking of a bounteous dinner, which had been prepared especially for the occasion, and the table was loaded down with good things to eat. Later in the eve ning the time was passed in playing games of one kind or another and one party expressed himself as having the best time of his life, and he said that every one else enjoyed them selves equally as much as he.
