The evening was pass ed playing various games, which call ed forth much merriment.

As the doors were thrown open, a typical mountain scene was visible. At one end of the room, a miniature lake was produced by means of a large mirror. This lake was banked by small evergreen trees and ferns. A beautiful water color scene of mountains and trees was arranged midst shrubbery and reflected most artistically in the water. A fishing pole was produced and each girl took her turn in catching a fish, from out of an opening at one end of -this little mountain lake. The fish all turned out to be something useful for the bride-to-be. This was followed by choice refreshments.
