' - For genuine uniqueness and origin ality, the Colenlul reception tendered the Baraca club last evening by the members of the Phllathesn society of the Presbyterian church at the O. E. Sllverthorn residence, corner Main and First, stands without equal In the history of either club. Colonial In purpose, house decoration, amuse ment and costume, the guests were quickly Imbued with the spirit of the times represented In everything In connection with "the affair. The hos tesses wer" daintily i-.ttired in colonial costumes that In themselves were rep resentative of elaborateness. Veneral George Washington was represented by Frank Ralston In appropriate gar ment. The Sllverthorn home was beautifully decorated, carrying out the colonial scheme. A ltltle hatchet, said by some to be an exact reproduction of the little weapon that did the busi ness with the cherry tree, played a no small part In the decoration scheme. Various games were played to the great amusement of the guests. At painting a word picture of the Ideal husband or wife, Prof. Mansnger car ried off the pennant a little hatchet handsomely tied in ribbons with lit tle effort. He Is in a class by himself in that respect. A New England supper capped the climax most fittingly to the enjoyable affair. With pantomimes of colonial events and customs, the amusement card was well prepared. To the "farm ed two dozen who attended, the event was a decided treat. news coming to the management of the local factory. Enough or this by product has been thrown away to make several men rich, whilo food manufacturers were discovering that the stuff was valuable to mix with other stock foods.
