rendered 10 Miss
Emma Thursby on Tuesday evening, at the
Rainier hotel, was o brilliant success. 1t was
indeed fitting that the Ladies' Musical Club
should have combined to do honor to the
famous American songstress, for Miss Thursby's
public reputation, great though it is, is not SUI
perior TO the purity and beauty of her private
character, and the club honored itself in doing
honor to a lady whose whole career is q subject
OF just pride to the art circles Of the country.
The concert on Thursday evening fully
came mp to expectation, and great num-
Der OF society people were present
and completely enjoyed the attractive numbers
of the programme. Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday and Saturday the art loan ex-
hipit held forth In the basement of the
Burke block, and drew many visitors;
first. because the entertainment was
given In the name of charity, and these same
visitors revisited the exhibition day alter day
in order to continue an inspection of display OF
artistic objects which reflected the very highest
credit not only upon the ladies OF the Womans
Home Society. but upon the city of Seattle. In
older communities, display such as
this would not have been of very surprising
nature, but in this new community, in which
fortunes have been accumulated with a rapidity
not conducive to the development of art, it was
a genuine delight to find so much OF value and
finish where so little had been expected The
exhibit was especially rich in paintings. curios
from foreign lands and rare old books. 1t Is
very much 10 be desired that the affair, or some
thing OF similar nature, may be repeated dur
ing the winter That the dreary days of driz-
cling fall have come Is indicated by the fact
that whist. and literary clubs are being
organized to meet and while away the long
winter evenings. On Friday afternoon q new

The first associate members concert was given.
The programme was intrusted to Miss Margaret
Mckinney and Miss Ethel Hanna, and was one
of the best the club has ever enjoyed. The
associate members have the privilege OF attend
ing these concerts once q month. A number of
the new members were present, and were quite
enthusiastic over the results achieved. On Fri
day evening the members OF the Philomathean
Society gave reception TO the faculty of the
State university, which proved O pleasant cpl
Bode In college life. The Classic Culture Club
held a meeting at the residence OF Mrs. David
Gilmore on Friday afternoon, and con-
tinued its good work. The Bur-
well Chautauqua Circle has resumed its
winters labors, and the members hope to effect
much mutual improvement by their well at
tended meetings. The Evening Musical Club
had good meeting on Monday evening, and
the members have begun the preparation of
regular programmes. The Guonod Club had a
ening, and the greatest possible interest has
been aroused by the forthcoming production of
the oratorto "Creation." The Cotillion Club
held meeting on Thursday evening, and will
soon decide to continue their successful dances
at intervals during the winter. On Friday af-
ternoon MIRA Graham gave a tea In Queen Anne
town. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. W. E. Boone
gave an elaborate luncheon In honor of Miss
Phillips, her guest In the early part of the
week MA LAuron Ingels entertained friends
from California, and thus the merry round
kept up
Mrs. Graham's Yellow Tea.
On Friday afternoon Mrs. w. II. Graham, at
her fine residence on High street, In Queen Anne
town. gave very pretty yellow tea. The entire
house was clothed in verdant array, all the
rooms and each hallway being decorated in ele-
giant taste. The prevailing colors in the de-
signs were green and yellow. A very pretty
effect was created By curtain which formed
the entrance from the rear drawing-room into
the dining apartment and which was made of
rope, about which were twined smilax and
ferns. The parlors were made fragrant by
punches of roses, and were beautifed by ported
plants and Oriental draperies. The music was
hidden from sight by exotic plants. and the en-
tire surroundings were lovely In the extreme.
The guests particularly admired the magnificent
view which spread out before their gaze from
the front piazza. Mrs. Graham was assisted in
d. Stimson, Mrs. Willard IL. StImson, Mrs. w.
r. Maddocks aud Mrs. P. B. NJ. Miller. The ladies
who poured tea and assisted at the table in the
dinlng-room were Miss Juliet May Mcclellan,
