IN spite OF the drizzlif1g rain which made
any movement on the streets very disagree
able, three hundred people gathered in the
parlors and halls of our now popular hos
telry and engaged in spending one of the
pleasantest social evenings Kenosha has
seen in long time. Hacks sped around to
every pant of the city, and, returning, con-
tributed their quota to the throng of happy
faces and bright costumes that made that
building look more festive than it has for
many day. The guests began to arrive
early in the evening and were presented to
the host and hostess, who were assisted by
their daughters, Misses Jennie and Miss
ouri Bull. Mr.. and Mrs. D. A Mahoney,
Mr.. and Mrs Z. J. Lewis and DR.. and Mrs.
E. G. Hazelton. The gatharing was as infor-
NAL as it could we'll be and every one felt
free and at their ease The strains of mu-
sic that foated through the house from a
detachment of Freibergs orchestra stationed

adorned with growing flowers, blooming
cactus, white geraniums and hyacinths.
The tables were loaded with edibles of
every kind dear to the epicurean palate.
Four tables, each one reaching across the
room, were laid to accommodate ninety-two
persons. At ten o'clock the doors were
opened and the tables were filled. AS soon

enough to feed almost as many more. Dam
