LAST NIGHTS RECEPTION.
AT DIR. j. b. VanVelsor's residence last
.eYening were gathered about two hun
dred of the cream of Yankron society
who were present in response to invita-
tions extended by DIR. and Mrs. YanVel-
sor to attend a reception rendered the
Dakota medical association. All
the members of that association who
were in the city were there present and
that the entertainers made them feel en-
tlrely thome was more than once re-
marked by each and severy one. The
grounds surrounding the residence wore
lighted with Chinese lanterns and the
broad veranaas were the scene of much
p~romenading, while within /. the house
the guests chatted and listened to music
rendered by some of Yankton's most
expert pianists. TIE ladies were clad
in silks, and satins and the gentlemen
wore their most ella borate costumes
Everything possible in the way of enter
tslnment was devised for the
edlflcation of the guests
and not the least on the programme were
the choice refreshments served during
the evening. This aft air takes a first
place among the many happy events
which have occurred in Yankton during
the past year, and IT was a fitting finale
to the visit to Yankton of a large num-
Der of the representatives of the medi-
cal profession.
Those who visited Jul city are not at
all backward with their laudations con.
corning Yankton and her people, and
that q favorable impression has been
made is largely due to last evenings
reception at the Van Velsor residence.
