Reuben Warner-A Brilliant
Event.
The first really brilliant social event
of the season was that which occurred
last evening at the residence of MIR. and
Mrs. Reuben Warner, of i73 College
avenue. 1t was dress ball given to
celebrate the departure of MeSSrS. Reu-
ben and Abbie Warner for college, and
every one was there. A very large num-
Der of invitations had been sent out and
but few failed to accept. Lemke, the
florist, had been given carte blanche IN
the matter of floral adornment, and GER
tainly more delicately artistic result
was never attained. Above the widely
opened portals hung chain OF coiored
lights, which cast Subdued rays over the
surroundings, and halo Of tinted glory
about each in turn of the pretty maids
who passed beneath them. Lining the
central corridor were tropical shrubs and
ferns, the tall, pointed plumes OF the
former and the less aggressive beauty
OF the latter contrasting perfectly with
the exquisite costuming OF the ladies
promenading between them. Overhead
hung wreaths of smilaX and ivy. inter

mentS. The entire residence was filled
with fragrance delicate as that said to
have pervaded the marble halls of Araby.
In the parlor to the right of the main
hall there were roses on every hand.

their eelorS intermingled. calling to mind
the famous struggle in which the red
rose and the white gained everlasting
fame. There were wreathS and designs
upon the walls. festoons of flowers bow
ering the entrance to each apartment,
and lights shining from every side.
Diamonds flashed and cleaned from
neckS and arms as perfect as those OF the
famed goddeSseS of Greece; the dream
lily lovely strains of the Strauss Lie
berslied' mingled with the soft frou-
frou OF silken gowns, as the beautiful
bellies of the ball room f1oated hlther
and thither in the rythmic whirl of the
waltz. Seibert'S orchestra never played
better in its history than last night,
nor ever has there been more
unanimous turnout of the young society
folk than that marking last evenings
event-the opening ball of the season.

The local musical world stands still
| for brief instant to listen in admira-
ton to new vocal star in the musical
armament. Miss e. &. Richards is the
name of the young lady sopraniste
| whose singing in DR.. Lorimer's church
in Chicago has made her name known
in the city on the lakeshore, and whose
performance of Governs "The Chill
dren's Home" at the Baldwin recital
last Wednesday won her instant recog-
milton from st. Paul artists. Miss Rich
ards is a native of Sterling, Ill.,, and
niece of Gen. Barrett, of Ste
vens county, Minnesota, one of the
most prominent agriculturiSts in the
state. She received her training from
| the best instructors in Chicago, and
| will, if she continues devoted to her art,
eventually become one Of the leading
singers of the country. Added to her
charm of voice an attractive manner
and beautiful face, and the picture OF
the new soprano is complete.
