: OyE OF THE PLEAsANTEsT social events ofthe
week was q reception given by the Suffrage
association at the residence Of Mrs, Alma IL.
Keith. Her beautiful parlors were brilliantly
lighted, and were opened at an early hour,
and the guests were cordially received and
introduced by the president, Mrs. e. M.
Covell. Among those present were MIR. E. M.
Covell, Mr.. Edholm and wife, Rev. Copeland
and wife, Rev. Crane and wife, Rev. Il. M.
House, Mr.. and Mrs. Skinner, Mrs. Briggs,
Mrs. Couch, Mr.. Rhodes, Prof. Frank Daley,
Miss Anna McChene, Mrs. Rogers, 9. >.
Montgomery and sisters, with many others.
The evening was passed in social converse,
1nterspersed with music and a reading Of the
programme for the international council OF
women. Many realized, for the first time,
how widespread this movement had become
as they heard the names Of delegates from
far-off India, Sweden, Russia, Finland, Den
mark and other distant portions Of the earth.
Cake and coffee were served TO all who
would partake, and the universal expression
of the departing guests was; I'VE have had
q most delightful evening" The coming of
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is anticipated
in the near future, and this is the first Of a
eeries Of receptions the association hope TO
have during the season. The next business
meeting will be at the Paxton parlors, Tues
day, the 9th, at half past 2 p. m.
-
THE LENTEN SEASON Is about over, and the
renewal Of social festivities will be fittingly
inaugurated by the second annual Elks ball,
which will take place at their new ard ele-
CANT club rooms, Fifteenth and Douglas
streets, on Wednesday evening, April 4.
That this ball will far surpass anything Of
the kind heretofore ever attempted in this
city Is evinced by the arrangements made by
the committee in charge. The invitations,
which have already been sent to the favored
few, are In themselves gems of the engraver's
art, and are the finest steel plate work that
has ever been used in the western country.
The programmes, menu cards, and other
souvenirs of the occasion are in fitting keep
ing with the same. AT the balls heretofore
given in this city, the supper, which should
be in itself an attractive feature of the same,
has not only been sighted, but has proved
Unsatisfactory. The Elks propose that there
will be no room for complaint. Society in
general, and the many friends of this organ
iZation, which has frequently afforded them
many evenings of pleasure, will be glad of
this opportunity of substantially testifying
their appreciation of their hospitality.
ONE WEEK AGO Saturday the friends of Mr..
John McEIwing gave him a birthday surprise
party. Meeting at the residence of Mr..
