RECEPTION TO MISS EAGER.
The Kirmess dancers gave a reception. at
Tomlinson Hall, last night, to Miss Mar
garet Mel. Eager, who so successfully di-
rected the Kirmess and Breton Fete. Near
ly all of the adult dancers were present in
costume, and the scene was brilliant in the
extreme. The few black dress-coats of the
gentlemen made a very effective contrast
with the b~right-hued garments of all ma
lions. Miss Eager wore a pretty and very
becoming toilet. a combination of pink and
white crepe and apple-green ribbon and
lace trimming. The round-neck corsage
was garnitured with pink velvet roses. At
o o'clock the grand march began and was
led by Miss Eager and Mr.. w. +. &. Colt.
This was followed by a series of round and
square dances till a late hour. to the music
of Henry Harris orchestra. There were q
few booths left in position and seats in
them furnished q resting place for the dan
GERS. The Russian booth ladies served lem
L nnada mn fha Sfu0A which woo
has won many friends since
coming here a month ago. and all will be
glad to welcome her return next year. for
which the Flower Mission has already
made arrangements. Miss Eager will leave
this afternoon. with her mother. for her
home in Newburg, N. Y. and. early in the
new year. will go to Bay City. Mich. to
conduct a similar entertainment. The pro-
ceeds of the fair will not be known for
some days, but the receipts are much
larger than for any previous effort of the
Flower Mission.
