The Shakespeare society were enter
tanned in d very pleasant manner Wednes-
Gay evening by the Misses Rudolph, in the
beautiful residence of Mr.. George l..
Pratt, on North Emporia avenue. Liter
airy exercises were dispensed with and IA
royal good time, playing games, dancing,
etc, was the program announced and car
rled out to perfection under the happy
direction of the two hostesses. About
twenty members of the society and their
friends were present and passed an even
ing of rare pleasure. The home of Mr..
Pratt is in itself one of the handsomest as
to interiors, and as few of our 'noble'
structures have ever been opened to the
rude gaze of even timid companies. such
eye-treats are welcomed as dainty feasts to
enlarge ones bump of appreciation for the
beautiful in homes. On such occasions
there ever comes to us the lines of the
wistful, loving, sentimental Moore, who
says:
There, talk no more Of future gloom,
One joy shall always last;
For hope shall brighten days to come,
And memory guild the past"

One of the quietest yet sweetest cere-
monies in the long list of marriages this
fall occurred at the home of Mr.. Alfred
Ray, Isl South Hydraulic: the marriage
Of Mr.. George L. Walker and Miss Lola
Ray.
1t appears as though propitious nature
had conspired to make the night a fitting
one for the contamination of such a happy
marriage, for Thursday evening was, in
Iced, in its affluence of beauties, sug-
5estive of merry wedding bells
and Hymen at his height of Joy.
The marriage rites were pronounced at
o'clock by Rev. l. w. Reed. The charm
ing bride was attired in sweet costume,
and the couple stood beneath a canopy of
'milaX, bestrewn with roses.
A large number of presents were received
The bride is very well known here and
las large number of friends who wish |
Ter long and joyous married life.
The groom is employed at L. c. Jack |
on's. and is admired of his acquaintance |
or his affability and manlness.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker are at home to |
heir friends at lao North Ohio street.
