IN GENERAL.
INFORMAL PARTY.
A social event which will long be remembered
by those who we're SO fortunate as to participate
occurred Friday evening, at the residence of
Mrs. Whitman, No. III Wabash avenue. The
compliments and best wishes Of the party we're
rendered to Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Sturtcvant, whose
appreciation OF the sssurprisc'' was made mani
fest during an entire evening Of unming1ed en-
joynent. At an early hour in the evening
large sleigh, drawn by four spirited horses, and
completely filed with pleasant company of
people from the West Side, drove up to the door
Of Mrs. Whitman's residence, and were heartily
received by the surprised inmates. 1t was very
evident dancing would be ipdulged in, and
thc1cupon the spacious parlors were relieved of
furniture, the carpets were 'suuEly covered with
canvas, and soon the cntire party were engaged
in the pleasures Of the dance, guided BY the
inspiring music OF ". W. Pound. A pro-
gram1ne consisting Of fourteen choice num-
bers and four extras had been prepared by the
management, SO that, without creating tho tire
some fornality Of dancing parties on a larger
scale, it avoided the confusion Incident to sur
prise PARTIES generally. At II o'clock the entire
company descended to the dfning-room, and
found the ladies had prepared refreshments IN
variety and quality to an extent that rivaled
the best efforts made By EcAar,lt. Enjoyment
ran high until q late hour, and the company dis
persed, each one carrying home the happy recol-
lcct1ons OF an evening we'll and protitably spent.
Among those who shared in the pleasures Of the
eyenin:, were the following: Atr. and Mrs. c. E.
Benson, Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Taylor, a1r. and Mrs.
F. |. Pearcc, Mr.. and Mrs. William Cochrane,
t1r. and Mrs. c. W. Dunk1ec, Mr.. and Mrs. e.
