Patriots Day Celebration.

One OF the most delightful of the season en-
tertainments was given on last Monday even
ing at the Second Methodist Protestant church,
North Seattle. \ "Past and Present. supper
was given under the direction OF Mrs Chand-
ler's Sunday school class of eighteen young la
dies and gentlemen, half of the number having
in charge representation of 'Ye Olden Times
and the other half presenting the latest fashion
OF the day. Ancient pictures, tableware, furni-
ture drapery and costumes were brought forth
from their hiding places. And the days of
George Washington stood in vivid reality before
the eyes OF the delighted audience, while the
handsome evening dresses, costly hangings,
beautifully furnished table and cosy reception
room on the Present side OF the church
claimed equal admiration. Large red, white
and blue hatchets and Topped flags adorned the
walls, while numerous smaller ones appeared
on the aprons of the walters and on the corners
of the snowy white table linen. over 200 guests
sat down to the well-filled tables. Miss Maud
Burrows aud Mr.. Kelsey gave most excellent
Rotations. The quartette choir OF the church
rendered pleasing patriotic selection. Mrs. X.
C. Ward sang beautiful soprano solo, and Pro-
lessor f. ID. Crandall delighted his hearers with
Il choice selection. Handsome souvenirs of blue
satin ribbon bearing portrait of Washington,
with the date below, were presented to each one
in attendance, and all united in pronouncing
the entertainment splendid success.

the Sound. Scarcely any affair of Importance
is given at Tacoma to which invitations are not
extended to Seattle people, and the same is
true of the affairs of this city Opportunity
has lately been given for excellent chances to
judge of the respective merits of the Seattle
and Tacoma germans. 1t would not become a
member OF the local cotillton club to express
an opinion on the subject, but from the
verdict OF Tacomans themselves Seattle
is just trife ahead in this par
ticular. The reason is perhaps obvious.
Seattle society has kept alive an interest in the
german, which is the prettiest dance ever in
vented The affairs OF the week were unusually
numerous and pleasant. Quite number of
interesting events were grouped about the cee-
bration of Washington's birthday The habit
OF taking the nations great days to use
Tor social purposes is wise 1t helps to make
good citizens and hosptable men and women.
1t unconseiously teaches patriotism and keeps
alive the historic memory of the people. There
were several musical affairs during the week,
which gave enjoyment to many.
