The Eastern Star sooial Wednes
day evening was another of those al
ways very pleasant occasions upon

told by tbe hearty applause. Follow
ing the program neat little paokages,
daintily tied with ribbon, were pre
sented to eaub guests. Upon the out
side there were attaohed numbers, by
means of whioh partners were ohoseu
for refreshments. Wrapped in these
paokages were toys of various disorip

ture oigars, etc ; alsoineaoh paokage
was an article of adornment for head
wear. These were of paper and there
were dunce caps, jockey caps, sun
bonnets and many more representa
tions, all in bright colors. The pos
sessors of these articles were supposed
to wear them and to put to its proper
use the toy which fell to them and
they all followed the directions and
the assembly had the appearance as
to headwear of a southern uiardi gras
occasion. A splendid lunoh of sand
wiohes, ooffeo, ice orenm and cake
