Wichita eagle., 1890-01-02

i
this day in future year, and
That memory shall brighten Ger th,
past
AS when tine sun concealed
Behind some cloud that near US hangs,
| Shines on q distant field"
| The ladies appeared in full dress: Mis-
Maude Pratt, white silk and lace; Mis-
Hattie Hays, pink cashmere and blacl
silk; Miss Mary Young, French gray hen
| rietta, black ribbons and velvet; Miss Ids
Rudolph, black silk and lace; Miss Adele
Rudolph, white brilliantine with more
ribbons.
The grandest and most elaborate recep
ton was rendered the members of the Y
NJ. c. A. by the ladies' auxiliary at the
home of Mrs. Geo. Knorr. 323 South Law
renee avenue. The house was beautifully
decorated with house plants, festoons Of
princess pine, pots of Towering Japanese
lilies. pictures and bouquets. The com
pany was very large. The parlors, halls
and dining room were filled the entire
evening. Strains of sweet music
and song filled the whole house
as groups stood about the piano
or duets or solos entertained the coming
and going crowds
It would be difficult to conceive of q
more happy occasion or any entertainment
which the kind hearted ladies could have
provided. If the young men of Wichita
could not appreciate such loving kindness
displayed it would not be possible to
bring them within the benign influence OF
morality, church and christianity.
The ladies of the auxiliary had provided
tables loaded with refreshments, meats,
turkey. ham, sandwiches, coffee, cakes
and fruits.
There was abundance and all the gentle
men callers enjoyed the occasion in the
highest possible degree.
The souvenirs were white satin ribon
inscribed Greeting '90' and tie of gera-
mum leaf indicating that the recipient
had turned over new leaf"

To ye reporter this has been alday of
and of feasting. He felt it in
umbent upon himself to see if the cook
ing club had good luck with their bread.
On ringing the bell at 1133 North Law
renee avenue the colored porter politely
invited US in and we assembled the steps of
4 neatly carpeted stair to one of the most
furnished and neatly decorated
rooms we have eyer seen. But we were
AbAAOoo obOoO ehot OiCoo dAo oio bOt toiIy
ong here but descended to the parlors
Here we were met by the charming hostess
Miss Mignon Viele, who introduced us to
1er lovely assistants. The parlors and
lining room were most tastefully decor
lted. Festoons of princes pine surround
ID the room and swung in gentle curves
rom the center of the room to each corner
Ind to each wall Windows were glowing
With flowers of every hue, their fragrance
on the air. Mantels were luxu-
liant with green plants, blooming as in
he garden of Eden.
The table was a picture of perfection. |
fruits peeping forth from leaf and flower !
Sands of smilax adding lustre to this mel
ow light Of antique lamps Brightest |
lowers adding charms to the most dele |
ate china and brightest silver. All these |
we're made more inviting oy a group of the |
nerriest and most entertaining young la |
lies that ever tempted mortal man to eat |
God prepared by their own hands. That |
,read was all right: we tried it. We ven |
ure there has never been a supper given |
n Wichita that surpassed this in the esti- |
imation of the guests. Salads, |
Office. cakes, angels food - nam |
d for those who make it, Il
allied almonds. pickles, in fact so many |
hings that one poor mind can not remem- |
'er them all, even if he did sample them.
We ate, we drank, and in communion |
sweet
We quaffed happiness and JOY"
If success can give happiness this has in
eed been a happy New Year to the cook
ng club.
