Yankt0nians.
In our little society world an occur
renee which brings together a large con.
course of ~fashionably attired people i,
one OF marked Importance. Though
Yankton maintains an oid-time reputa.
lion for the excellence of the social side
of its existence, of late small and some
what informal gatherings have been the
rule, if not the rage. So 1t happened
that the announcement of q large party
by Ex-Secretary and Mrs. j. Fl. Teller
aroused lively anticipations and there
was more than the usual preparation
for last evenings coming together under
their hospitable roof.
The party war in the nature of . re-
ception to Miss Lillian Steele, q young
society lady of Bismarck, who is
visiting the Tellers, and the occa-
sion was also used to introduce
the interior of Mr.. Teller's new
mansion to the Yaakton public. A
hundred and twenty invited guests as
sembled IS early as half past eight
ooc k. They were received in the spa
clous parlors by Mr.. and Mrs. Teller,
Miss Steele and r. W. Wheelock and
after the formalities of the occasion were
disposed of the visitors scattered about
and made the best of the generous facili-
ties afforded for an evening OF social
entertainment. The new house was ln-
spected critically by the guests, who
went through it from basement to the
uttermost Queen Anne gable apartment,
and all pronounced it a model of con-
%yenience and architectural beauty.
There were cards and music for the
entertainment of the party and for those
who have not yet yielded to the fascina-
tions of those popular indulgencies the
heeting hours were filed by CONVERSE
ton rare and interchanges OF felicltous
remarks. 1t was an assemblage in the
best of humor and with its elegant sur
rouudings and thescareful attentions of
the entertainers it could not we'll have
been otherwise. The party will long be
pleasantly remembered by it's particle
pants and Bismarck's fair representa-
tive will have a lasting place in their
recollections.
