SOCIETY.

The reception rendered to Mr.. and
Mre. l.. ]. L!ewellyn in the parlors Of
the Fret Presbyterian church last Tues
day night was one of those pleasant So
cial events which help to brighten liie's
pathway, and which when past we love
in thought to dwell upon. The popu-
larity of the happy couple was attested
by the attendance, which taxed the Ca
pscity of the rooms to the utmost. The
floral decorations we're profuse, but in
excellent taste. The opening address by
the chairman of the evening, Mr.. R. H.
f. Variel, and the addresses of welcome
delivered in the happiest vein by Rev.
| D. Hughes, Mr.. w. 7. Williams and
Rev. j. H. Collins, were replete with
happy references and appropriate senti-
ments, and together with the hearty
congratulations and the good wishes for
perity which were showered upon
them at the close of the programme.
might we'll have caused Llewellyn's
heart to swell with pride, and must
have convinced his charming bride that
she had cast her lot with those who can
appreciate her talents and excellence as
a musical artist, and the qualities which
she possesses which make her attractive
socially. Her pleasing personality and
her gracious manner have won as her
friends all whom che has met; and
Tuesday evening che completed her con-
quest by the artistic manner in whiuh
she rendered that soul-stirring solo,
Jerusa EN-, and her favorite Welsh mel
ody, Cymru Fydd.
Her voice is rich contralto, of
strength, sweetness and compass, culti-
waited and under perfect control. Mrs
Kate Morgan Llewellyn is native OF
Wales, reared to womanhood in Dowlais,
on the southern coast, near the home of
Madame Patti.
Dowais is musical center of some
note and has produced many good
singers. Possessing natural talent and
reared in musical atmosphere it is no
wonder that she is the possessor of @
voice with which she can thrill and
charm any audience.
She is decided and welcome addition
to the musical circles OF our fair city.
Ths success of the event was due to the
we'll selected programme, the excellence
Of the artists who appeare and to the
thorough preparatory work OF the com.
mittee OF arrangements, consisting OF
Miss s. E. Hughes and Messrs. w. 7.
Pugh and ]. H. Humphreys. At the
close of the programme refreshments
were served upstairs and the rest OF the
evening was pleasantly spent in social
way.
Ola Podrida is the name OF a social
and literary club that has been formed
by the young people living in the region
of Belmont hall. The club is limited to
40 members, and each one is required to
show some proficiency in art music, elo-
cution or some other accomplishment
before he or che can be admitted to
emberehip. The club meets several
times each week at the homes of it's
members.
Last night the initial social and dance
OF the winter was given. A number of
invitations were issued to persons not
members OF the club. Professor Brown
kiAdly extended to the club the use OF
Belmont hall and the company met in
the large school room. A short pro-
gramme was rendered, after which dan
cling was enjoyed by the 125 or more
persons present. The club will give
more of these dances through the
winter.

The social entertainment given by
Miss May Stephenson, at her home on
Union avenue last evening, was high
ly enjoyable affair. Her many friends
never fail to attend her parties, for the
fair lady seems especially adapted to the
duties of hostess, and all are assured of
a happy time. With the assistance OF
Miss Nellie B. Clark and Miss frankie
Maynard, the large number of ladies
and gentlemen found nothing wanting
to complete the pleasure of the evening.
Songs, instrumental music, recitals and
"cob web" search were among the
features of the entertainment, in which
all took part with much pleasure. 1t
was very happy event.
