SOCIAL SIFTINGs.

SOCIAL SIFTINGS.
Lady Blessington says it is these who
can most easily dispense with society who
are the most calculated to adorn il. In a
measure this is true, but it is not quite as
true that those calculated to adorn society
are found within its circle.
1t would have been the bittereSt of cynicS
who could have thought otherwise had he
been present on Tuesday night at the re-
ception given by the Commercial club to
their lady friends in their handsome apart
ments. In addition to the pleasure of social
intercourse and the presence Of wit and
beauty, a well-arranged programme was
admirably rendered. Miss Minnie Perry
man and Miss Sue Terrell each sang, Mrs.
Connery gave two Instrumental solos, and
Miss Heron, a visitor at the college, re-
cited. each one winning unStinted applause.
As was expected, their reception was the
browning effort of this club, so well known
for its pleasant inequalities to ladies.
Mrs. w. NJ. Harrison gave this week a
recherche dinner to her guests, Mrs. Phil
lips and Miss Carlin, of Marshall. The
table was bountifully and taStefully spread
and while the guests were gratified with
the preparation for their appetltes, they
were more than delighted to have the
pleasure of meeting socially such charming
Representatives of Marshall society. Mrs.
Harrison is a model hostess, as all will
testify who have shared her hospitality.
Mrs. Charles Scheuber gave progressive
euchre party on Friday night. There were
about forty guests, and to know Mrs.
Scheuber is to know that she is abundantiy
equipped to entertain her friends. The
success of the evening was largely owing
to her admirable tact and versatility. Mrs.
John Swayne bore OFF the first ladies' prize,
a handsome bonbouierre filed with choice
sweets, and Mr.. Newlin the gentleman's, q
silver paper weight, the ''twa doggies."
On Friday night the young gentlemen, in
remembrance of the leap-year dance, in
which she played novel part, invited the
young ladies to dance at the board of
trade rooms There were tWenty-eight
couples present. Several married couples
chaperoned the party. The merry
dancers tripped to the music of Ault's or
chestra, and agree that the evening was a
most delightful one.
A most commendable move on the part
of the young people is the organization of a
Shakespeare club. Eight young gentlemen
invited the same number of young ladies to
join them in 4 club to study the works sof
this great dramatist. They held their first
meeting on Friday night at the residence of
Dr. W. A. Adams, elected their officers
and outlined the work. They will read the
plays act by act and prepare for the weekly
meetings, paper critical and analytical,
previously. The following IS the list Of
working members: Misses Tommies
Adams, Ida Beall, Louie Beall, Carrie
Huffman, Sue Terrell, Ida Van Zandbyf Mag
gle Wilson; Messrs. Sam Camp, Ezourpey,
Oats, Moreland, Stoneham, Lewf1ght,
Samuels an6 Winthrop
Marriages have not been largely reported,
only two having come to the sieve. On
Sunday Miss Allie P. Peterson and Mr. E.
J. Duke, and on Wednesday, Miss Florence
Chapman and Mr.. e. L. Mason, Rev. j.
Morgan Wells being in each instance the
officiating clergyman.
Perhaps not quite in the list of society
items, still an occasion of much sociability.
was the observance at the university of
Arbor day The different societies planted
trees, as well as the school proper, and
there were songs, addresses and recita-
tons appropriate to a celebration of Wash
ington's birthday by tree planting.
OF social events in the immediate future
is a ball to be given Tomorrow night by the
Railway Employees club at their hand
somely fitted up rooms. That the occasion
win be one of brilliancy is to be rightly ex-,
pected, for when railway men, their wives
and sweethearts have their hands on throt-
tie the track is cleared and the headlight
throws bright CLEAN over all around.
