THE sOIREE


In response to neat invitation about
twenty couples of our best Young people
assembled at the residence of Miss Ella
Clark last night to attend party given
by Miss Ella in honor of her friend, Miss
Eta Eagan, a charming young lady of
Cambridge, Ill. Seldom is it that one
sees more beauty or culture assembled
together than on last night, for though
the party was not large in number it was
very select. The hostess had not only
arranged neat programme which includ
ed all the usual routine that one expects
at social gathering of this kind. but
they had arranged a number of charade S
that were difficult to fathom, also two OF
three tableaux that were unique in repre-
sentation, as they were striking in appear
anee. To say that all present enjoyed
themselves would be putting it mildly. for
every one present was more than delight
ed. Music, games, etc, were also
INDUCED in. followed by magnificent
supper Determining to further make the
party a success q number of dances were
arranged and nearly everybody availed
themselves of the privilege of tripping the
light fantastic toe. AT late, though
seasonable hour the guests dispersed
for their respective homes, declaring that
Miss Clark and her friend, Miss Eagan,
made charming hostess, and that they
had never enjoyed more pleasant even
ing.
THE TURNER HALL PARTY.
Last night Turner hall was ablaze with
light and the constant hum of voices in
pleasant conversation, or the pit pal
sounds of the merry dancers as they KEEP,
time to Bleuer's orchestra, denoted that a
social event of no small importance was
in progress. All were as merry as a mar,
riage bell, and as the guests who were
assembled fitted here and there, one
could not help but notice the fact that al
present were having good time, and
were enjoying themselves The occasion
of all this festivity was quartet Of
events, which transpired on the samt
evening. Seventeen years ago last night
Mr. and Mrs. August Herkert,
this city, and Mr.. aud Mrs. Gleusing,
of Moline, were made one flesh
It so happened that yesterday was the
birthday of Miss Title, Mr.. and Mrs
Herkert's daughter and also, strange to
say, yesterday was the birthday of Miss
Lizzie Gleuslng, the charming and nc
complished daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Gleusing. Thus. with quartet of event
| to celebrate, it was no wonder that every
one present were in so high spirits
There were present over thirty couples
of our best German people, who hat
come with happy hearts to help celebrat,
and commemorate the happy occasion
The old folks spent the time pleasant,
in conversation and reviving the oil
time memories when they were like tn
boys and girls, who were 80 pleasant
engaged in dancing on the smooth an
waxen floor of the hall. At, midnigh
supper was announced, and words of our
can but feebly express the goodness, tn
sweetness or the par excellence of Ia
viands so abundantly set out on a numbe
OF tables We have attended banquet
before, but never attended one that W
enioyed so well as that of last night
Everything that heart could wish wa
at hand, and the only wonder to us at thi
writing is, how the quests ever mustered
up courage to leave the tables. After tn
banquet the young folks returned to tn
hall and spent the remainder of the tim
in whirling through the merry dance G
music soft and low, as round and roun
they flew, Waiting as only the Germa
people can 1t was a pleasant time
indeed, and the Daily ARGUS unites il
wishing all the parties a long and con
tented life of health, happiness and pros
perity, and many, many more such pleas
ant times.
