A DELIGHTFUL AFTERNOON.
----------

     Anticipation may be very agreeable, but participation is certainly more practical end enjoyable - such is the sentiment expressed of about forty ladies who responded to the invitation of Mrs. L. P. Robertson on Tuesday afternoon to meet her charming guests - Misses Threadgill and Krause of Waco and enjoy a game of cards.
     After a deluge of two hours surely then nature conspired with Mrs. Robertson that nothing might be lacking to complete the pleasure of those who were so fortunate to attend.
     The game of six handed euchre was exciting, and enjoyable to the end.
     After scores being counted, it was found that Miss Jessie McLendon was the winner of first prize, Miss Kessee consolation and Miss Mollie Dickson of Houston the booby.
     The hostess then served most delicious refreshments of iced fruits, angel cake and fruit punch.
     We were reluctant to leave but the hour was growing late, so thanking Mrs. Robertson and her guests for such a good time, we said "good bye."

A GUEST.
