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.

manufacturers were discovering that
the stuff was valuable to mix with
