M III mother, Mrs. F. s.
HFB ~ De Wolfe. 1t had
! "a MA been ths leading
"a " topic of converse
EvH ton in society cir
VIZ cles for some time.
mn Many poked con-
~H siderable fun at
AAS the young actors.
Bone said that Booth and Warde were ready to
Ia7 down their laurels, but the amateurs bravely
went on with their rehearsals. and the result
was the production OF two charming little plays
in an artistic manner, and the giving OF pleas
ure TO large number of more than interested
spectators The universal comment was that
the performance was brilliant and great en-
couragement for future affairs OF sim
FLAIR nature. This. the first dramatic
essay for some time in Seattle, revealed clearly
that there is much talent here that for some
time has lain dormant, aud it was also proven
that society is willing to enter into the spirit Of
intellectual enjoyment whenever the opportun-
fly is offered. The affair finished success.
Another very brilliant affair last week was the
reception given at the First NJ. E church on
Wednesday evening in honor OF DR.. w. +.
George, the new minister. 1t was not by any
means un exclusively church affair, for many
citizens graced the occasion with their presence,
revealing clearly that Seattle is endeavoring to
extend Il cordial welcome to the new pastor OF
that influential church. Both tho preacher and
his charming vile made excellent impressions.
On Monday evening the Evening Musical Club
gave its tenth concert at Pettis' Chambres de
Musiqus before a large number of the
members. The programme was OF more
than ordinary excellence. The club is
doing good work in its special
field. and is proving OF substantial value to its
members. As the time for the event approaches
the social world is growing more deeply inter
est a MpsrhiauZa-
for the benefit OF the rectory fund of st. Marks
church on Friday evening, April %. The ladies
and gentlemen interested have been faithfully
practicing the minuet, that will be danced in
costume, and altogether the affair promises to be
complete success Almost every one in society
went to see Frederick Warde. The universal
sentiment seemed to be tina. he grows more
worthy of intellectual consideration each year.
Apart from fraternal consideration, the Odd
Fellows nre planning fine social time for the
visitors who will attend the celebration at this
city on April % and 20. There will be two re-
captions, bali, special dramatic performance
and number of elegant private entertainments.
II is said that there will be many fine entertain
ments giving during the coming summer sea-
son. Thero will be quite as many young LADY
visitors from abroad as were here and so charm
ingly entertained last year.
