flowers" ETC.. were specialties of the evening
Tonight a long and varied programme of
music, vocal and instrumental, readings, tab
leaux, ETC., will be presented, the full de-
tails of which are advertised. The at
tendance last night was good, and the
auditors went away much pleased with
the entertainment. The utmost socia-
bility prevails, and there is none of the
restraint of the set concert or theatrical ex-
hibition. The parlors are very handsomely
decorated, and the stage admirably arranged
for the entertainment. During the day for
nominal sum the ladies furnish superior
lunch, and the hours are from IL A. NJ. to 2,
and from P. NJ. to P. N. The luncheon
embraces several good old New England
dishes, and is served in the good
old style. The programme management
is under the direction of William Bassett,
Mrs Sparrow Smith and Mrs. Frank Avery,
aided by number of young ladies. The
luncheon is under the direction of Mrs. o. Z.
Goodhue, Mrs. H. Burnham, Mrs. G. H.

more romantic old heads.
