A Card Party and Some Gossip

September 16, 1905

A jolly crowd gathered at the Jeske house for a card party yesterday. No one could beat me at Whist! I had two books before Harry Griffith even had one trick. Frank Vail and new bride Bessie honored the folks with a dance while Dewey Dreblow played the banjo.

Beulah Alexander got it into her head that a bonfire would be fine fun. Pshaw! I warrant it was her beau, that old rusty guts, Harvey Cross, who put that notion in her head, so they could slip away without notice. Of course, no one would let old Harvey near a match if they valued their skin!

Floyd Johnson wasn't there on account of his muskrat hunting trip to Silver Lake. Never had you seen more disappointed ladies when it was learned he was out of the county.
