Mr. and Mrs. Drane were dressed to represent ¢eorge and Martha Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Earl C. May, John Ln,-l Fayette and Nellie Custis.

Clayton introduced the guests to the Mikado, Dr. Sarak Wheeler, who from her throne looked down with haughty mein upon all who approached. The latter paid all due homage, their curtsies creating much amusement. Mrs. Munn and Mrs. Southard escorted guests to the dining room, where they were served with tea and vafers, Japanese rice, which was eat- er with chop sticks.

There are people who claim that mep are not romantic, that mat- ter of fact principles dominate their heart interests. hold that this view surely is never 1t is then that romance takes an important part in shaping his destiny.
