1924 UMC Epworth League/Ladies Aid misc, Rossville, Kansas
Description
The Rossville Epworth League feels that it is getting on the “map” again since the dull winter months by the interest and attendance that was shown by the community last Thursday evening at their Valentine party.
Of course there were games, hunts for hidden hearts, proposals coined from candy hearts that evoked laughter from the young folks and broad smiles from the older folk (yes there were quite a number of old folks) and many other interesting games that caused the time to pass too rapidly.
The Valentine box was the real entertainment of the evening. Each person gave and took a name from the box to see who would get that “extra” valentine he or she had brought. Then we were ushered into the basement where everyone was surprised and delighted by the unique decorations and shading of the lights, all of which seemed to be in keeping with the occasion. Then the Valentines were given out, one or more to each person present.
“Polar Brownies” and wafers were served as refreshments.
This is the kind of party the League likes to have, for everyone seemed to have a good time, even the older folks were made to feel young again. But how could they help it for about sixty persons were there with nothing but a good time uppermost in their minds. A Leaguer
