A GARDEN PARTY.
A Brilliant Affair Given for the I'm
CtIIrch


The beautiful grounds about the resi-
dence of Walter S. Moore, at 1867
Figueroa street, as we'll as the residence
itself, presented a bright appearance
yesterday afternoon and evening, on the
occasion of the garden party given for
the benefit OF the Emmanuel Presbyter-
ian church. The afternoon was given
over mainly to the children, but in the
evening the extensive grounds were
crowded with the best known members
of Los Angeles society. The grounds
were lighted with many Chinese Ian
terms, and the paths were illuminated
with the broad CLEANS of numerous
headlights, kindly furnished for the
occasion by the cable company.
Above the hum of conversation and the
sound OF happy laughter swelled the
strains of music furnished by the Y. NJ
c. A. orchestra, which we'll sustained its
established reputation for excellence.
Scattered about the grounds were
numerous artistically constructed and
decorated booths. Not the least note
worthy OF these was the popcorn booth,
under the management of Mrs. G.. G.
Merrill and Mrs. Healy, with four mem
bers of her class of '"'Rosebuds. Next
came the Gypsy" booth, where several
fair maids in picturesque costumes dis
pensed coffee, tea, etc. The fortune
telling feature usually connected with
gypsy booths was omitted out of defer
ence to some members of the church
who objected. This booth owed it's
beauty to decorations furnished by the
Woman's Exchange on East Fourth
street, and was presided over by Miss
G. Carran, Miss F. Potts, Miss L. Max
well and Miss l.. Chevan.
The candy booth was under the man
agement of the Cooking Club, twenty
members strong. Lemonade was dis
pensed from a charming little booth by
Mrs. DIR. Jones, assisted by four young
ladies. Fruit was effectively DISPLAYED
st booth near the candy booth bv Mrs.
T. Hodgkiss and Mrs. Staub.
The wants of the inner man, whether
in the way of ice cream and cake or of
more substantial eatabies, were cared
for at large and well-appointed refresh
ment tent, where Mrs. DIR. eastman
presided, assisted by Mrs. Hodgeman,
Mrs. Lynch, Misses Ward, Merrill.
Bently and Cashman, Mrs. Chapman,
Mrs. Newman, Mrs. Cass, Mrs. Mattice
and others.
