ENTERTAINMENTS.


The Young Ladies Club gave card
party at Miss Flora Kuhn's last Fri
day. Miss Louise Herndon won the
prize.
Mrs. A. B. Rains entertained the
Young Ladies Club last night. Our
hour of going to press prevents a
more completes report.
Prof. DeerIng, who is to lecture on
1.-THE Two Greatest Representatives
of German Literature" at the Insti-
tute, Jan. % and %, although one of
the youngest, is one of the most bril-
liant of the Vanderbilt faculty. His
subject, interesting in itself, will be
dOubly so as treated by him We
hope that the repat9tiOn for keen
appreciation of literature that Co
lumbia bears ABROAD, will be sus-
tanned during Prof. Dtaying's visit.
There was brilliant party at the
residence of one of the most prOmi-
nent State officials at Austin, Texas.
OF course, there was dancing and
music. Hostetter McGinnis and Miss
Esmeralda Longcoffin were also
present. Neither of them dancing,
they were seated on a sofa, talking,
when suddenly Hostetter placed his
arm around the waist of Miss Long
coffin and gave it hearty squeeze.
"What DO you mean sir 2" exclaimed
the indignant maiden. mo harm,
Miss" answered McGinnis; ~ can't
dance, and this is the best l can do
under the circumsta.- "Well,
circumstances alter cases." said the
young lady, and the sofa waltz con-
tinued.
Those who have heard Gov. Taylor
on 1.-THE Fiddle and The Bow" say
they could not laugh for crying and
could not cry for laughing. He will
deliver this famous lecture, for which
he gets hundred dollars a night, at
the Opera House next Thursday
night, the 21st.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus Burckhardt, of
Cincinnati, have issued invitations
TO an elaborate reception at their
handsome residence on East Fourth
Street, on the evening of the twenty
seventh inst. Fortunate indeed are
those who can partake of the hospi-
tality of this couple, who have among
their large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances, won great distinction in
the art of entertaining.
1.-THE Jackson Historic Costume
Reception" at Hotel Ponce de Leon,
st. Augustine, Florida, under the
auspices of the Ladies Hermitage
Association, for the benefit of the
Hermitage, promises to be q brilliant
and successful affair. The tickets of
admission, for gentleman with his
lady, will be So.
Miss Margaret Williams is q sue
cess. Her natural talent and her
years of hard, earnest, patient work
begin TO be rewarded. Her musical
recital in Nashville last week was as
pronounced a hit SIS the delightful
evening she gave her Columbia au-
dience, and the press of Nashville
and the finished musicians of that
city, are unanimous in their praises
of her talent, her touch, her execu-
ton. She deserves it all and these
well-merited compliments are pleas
ant to hear. They show she has inn
proved well the talent God gave her,
and the groundwork of her early
training fell to the care of a thorough
ly competent instructress. In our
natural pride over Miss Williams, we
must not forget the modest though
finished instructress who started her
upon her brilliant career. Mrs. Nc
Kinney, of the Athen9um, was her
first and only instructress for num-
Der of years, and it was under her
careful and efficient training a cor
rect foundation was laid.
At the time of Miss Williams
graduation at the Columbia Athe-
n@um-a school justly famed for its
musical advantages-she, aud one
other, were the only pupils ever ac-
corded the highest musical honor /;
having mastered different compost
lions of the classical writers, in an
artistic manner, and pursued course
that would have reflected credit up
on one of much older experience from
any of the Conservatives. Well
may Mrs. Mckinney be proud of the
brilliant accomplishment of her
pupil, and justly too, may Columbia
be considered fortunate, in the possess
sion of ones whose reputation is sus-
tanned, and the enviable position she
holds as a teacher of the highest eX-
cellence. May success follow her
and many more of her bright pupils.
