THE Temporary Home on Washington
street held its annual reception yesterday. 1t
was rather disappointing in the small number
that was present though the Enthusiastic in
terest of these friends was encouraging
About 5000 was raised in donations, but by
dimes alone not more than $40 or $25 was
realized. There is coldness complained of
this year in charitable circles. Some think
this is because generosity has been tried to
the utmost, while others, more optimistic,
think that the charitable, like the fashion
able season, is not yet thoroughly opened.
Mrs. John Dunlevy, Mrs. NJ. S. Harding and
Miss Margaret Speer formed a reception
committee, and Mrs. Charles Zug, Mrs. Will
lam H. House and Miss Jane Magee attended
to the refreshments.

with affairs at the clubhouse of previous
seasons. The two assembly balls, however,

OLD City Hall, the scene of many a by
gone pleasant gathering, but now almost
to the green grocers whose goods
are slowly climbing its stairs reminded one
Of its old self yesterday. The Ninth U. P
Church opened its bazaar there in the MORN
ing and continued it all day, interspersing
at the proper hours delicious dinner, and
lfterward luncheon and supper. Customers
were to be found all day at the various
booths, where pretty girls talked up the |
qualities of their goods in a thoroughly pro-
fessional manner Flowers were to be
found at one booth. The practical man and
woman were accommodated with domestic
articles at another and sweet-toothed misses
'ound the most deectable sweets at a third.
Among the people present could be reccg-
lized many prominent in United Presby- .
,erian circles.
