One Of the most enjoyable and successful
social events Of this OF any other season in
st. Paul, transpired last night at the elegant
and spacious residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Matheis, No 307 Walnut street, the occasion
being the celebration of the silver wedding
anniversary of this worthy and estimable
couple.
The comfortable home of Mr. and Mrs.
Matheis has long been noted for its generous
hospitality, but the event of last night
amounted to perfect ovation. The cosy
residence presented a perfect bower of
beauty, the floral decorations being especially
notable and elegant. The visitors, and
there must have been at least two hundred
friends in attendance, were welcomed at the
vestibule by the melody of a select orchestra
stationed in one of the parlors, the scene
Within being animated in the extreme. The
guests were received by Mr. and Mrs.
Matheis, and a season of delightful social
festivity and intercourse followed, the affair
being In all respects one of the most delight
full that has ever taken place in this city.
During the evening the happy couple
were serenaded by Seibert's orchestra, which
put in an appearance about II O'Clock. At
10 O'Clock the guests were invited to witness
mock marriage ceremony, as a reminder
OF the happy event of a quarter of a century
ago, which was performed in elegant STYLE
by Mr. f. F. Won Heyderstaedt, who congrat-
ulated the happy couple in an appropriate
speech.
After this the orchestra struck up a waltz,
host and hostess, while the
guests followed suit. A sumptuous supper
was served about midnight in the course of
which the health of the happy couple was
quaffed in many generous bumper
