her sister, Miss Bertha Dameron
New Year's Eve. A number of
games and contests were engaged in
and the watching of the old year out
and the new year in proved most
pleasant.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Barcus
entertained about thirty young peo-
ple at a watch party Thursday com-
plementary to Mr. Jesse Stamfords,
nephew of Mr. Barcus. Progressive
conversation and games appropiate
to the occasion furnished amusement
till the hour for the dawning of the
New Year arrived. When the guests

Year's resolutions. Quite a lot of
originality was used in these res-

MONDAY AFTERNOON CLUB ENTER-
TAINS.
The ladies of the Monday After-
noon Club were at home with Mrs.
J. N. Russell at their annual New
Year's party January 1, 1909, from
3 to 5 p. m.
About two hundred invitations had
been issued and the friends as well
as the club members looked forward
to this gathering with great pleasure.
It was to say the least, dissapointing
to awake on New Year's morning
and find the sky, for the first time
in many days filled with threatening
clouds, and the vegetation covered
with frost. However, the saying:
"It might have been worse," was
very true and as the day advanced
the clouds grew lighter and before
evening the sun appeared. Although
the condition of the elements pre-
vented many of the guests from ac-
cepting the invitation, a goodly num-
ber of ladies gathered at the Russell
home at the appointed hour and were
greeted by the hostess with Mes-
dames Garrison, Siaton, Lipscomb,
Snyder and Barker who constituted

then presented with a small sprig of
mistletoe by Mrs. Jarrott and invit-
ed to the library where light refresh-
ments of pink i nd white gelatine
with whipped cream and fruit cake
were served.
Miss Ina Gregg ana Amber Collins
assisted the ladies in serving. In
the evening as has been the enstora
of the club ladies, the husbands were
entertained. Some time was pleas-
antly spent in writing New Year's
resolutions, after which the enter-
tainment was turned over to the gen-
tlemen. With toasts and ghost they
made merry the remaining hours of
the party. Mr. Barker represented
the departed spirit of Julious Caesar
in an amusing manner. In addition
to punch the ladies served fruit salad
gelatine with whipped cream and
cake. The gentlemen to whom the
evening's entertainment was given
report a most pleasant time.
Mc. and Mrs. C G. Witherspoon
were at home Saturday evening, Jan-
uary 2, in honor of Miss Pattie
Estes, who was here on her Xmas
vacation from Baylor College at
Waco. The ever popular game of
"42" was engaged in for a while,
though no propressions were made.
The first denotion from the game
was an interesting little contest. I
Questions had been prepared, the
answers to which were words with
"data" in them, for inspiration
stuffed dates were served while the
contest was in progress. The hostess j
next announced a fishing party. The !
guests were asked to go into another
room where they were provided with
fishing tackle, and after much laugh-
ing each fiisherman caught on his
hook a little card on which was
written a prophecy for the New Year.
These prophecies were indeed amus-
ing. The last feature of the even-
ing's entertainment was a test of the
skill of this merry company as art-
ists. Each "victim" was requested
to draw the likeness of the most |
beautifnl face present, mid such an
assembly of handsome people the
task of discrimination was hard,i
however, wonderous profiles soon
appeared on the severel cards, ac-
compained by a description* of each
written in verse. At a late hour the
hostess assisted by Misses Bertha
Witherspoon ar.d Ista Estes served
refreshments of gelatine, cake and
mints. Miss Estis has a host of
friends in Hereford among whom
she is a general favorite and it is to

of young people back to their books.

The Public School is filled to over-
flowing and the College has an in-

interest and the students were de-
