1t was certainly a high compliment
to Mr.. and Mr.. r. B. Stevenson that
on such a night as was that Of Thurs
day of last week, their house should be
crowded with guests. Some who would
otherwise have been there were doubt.
less kept away by the mud and rain but
with all due Difference to them-theii
absence was hardly noted, among 80
great a number who ..braved the mud
and the rain. lola crowds are not
much given to formality on any occa-
sion. and this one was particularly free
from it. the inclement weather seeming
t. raise rather than depress their spir-
its. From the time the door opened on
the first guest uutil the last departed,
everyone seemed to enjoy himself. A
notable feature of the evening in the
way of entertainment was the music.
Mrs. Woodruff, Miss Templin and Miss
Maude Richards executed number of
piano solos with very pleasing effect.
This is the first time that Mrs. Wood
ruff has ever played before anything
like public audience in lola, and ma
nv of those who thought they knew
her best were surprised at the skill and
taste she displayed. 1t is to be hoped
we may hear her oftener hereafter.
The violin music by c. NJ. Simpson
was listened to with pleasure as it al
ways is.
In due time refreshments of more
physical and substantial nature were
served aud met with an equally kind
reception. The spread was very ele-
giant and elaborate and was seemingly
exhaustless in quantity as it withstood
some very vigorous attacks for nearly
an hour. At about II o'clock, follow
ing the good old Puritan custom, the
company began to disperse, thorough
ly glad that they had come in spite OF
the mud and rain.
