PLEASURES THAT LIGHTEN THE HEART AND
MAKE MERRY NATURES
Mr.. Hal Spsidsl Entsrtains Stage Party With
Course Dinner Wedding on the Island
Other Joys That Awaken and Delight

ticinate in a most delightful entertain
ment afforded by Mr.. Hal Speioel. IL
was the occasion of course dinner
given to nearly score Of his gentle
men friends. The guests, all IN
full evening dress, gathered ABOUT
the festal board about seven
o'clock, and the prandlal
festivities continued until well into the
shank of the evening. In the center OF
the artistically arranged table was q
beautiful floral display, while the ser
vice throughout was Of unique and rlch
design. Various little floral adornments
about the dining hall added much to the
picturesque effect. The dinner was
served in eight courses all OF which were
most daintily presented. The host OF the
evening occupied the responsible centre
chair, and gracefully did the honors OF
the hour. Knives, forks and spoons
cut eyolutions in the air for over two
hours, interspersed with wit and re-.
uartee, and never did more satisfied
assemblage arise from gastronomlcai
wreck. The following geht's men
formed the evening picture around the
festal board: Messrs. Hal Speldei'
George Mendel, Arthur Bates Butler,
Wheeler Bachmau, Percy Norton,
Charles Cook, viii r. Rice, Charles
Lamb. Harry OFT, Harry Waddell, ii,
A. Simpson, Frank Craddock, VIII +.
Shaffer, Sam Harper, Robert Gilchrist
and r. Mason. At the conclusion OF
the prandial exercises the guests ad'
journed to the music room where sea-
son Of melody, cards, stories, Jokes and
various diversions occupied the hours
1t was q most enjoyable affair.
Tuesday night meeting was held at
the Synagogue looking towards ar
rsngements for a charity ball, which
will be given early in January. The
affair will be under the auspices OF the
Ladies' Hebrew Benevolent Society and
will occur at Arion Hall. At last nights
meeting various committees were ap-
pointed to take charge OF affairs, the
committee on arrangements consisting
OF Mrs. B. Horkheimer, Miss Molie
Baer and Messrs. +. Buchanan, Lou
Swabacker, Ralph Heyman, Joseph Il.
Selling and Benjamin H0rkheimer. 1t
il proposed TO make the ball one OF the
biggest of the season. The date will
likely be definitely fixed in day or so.
New years this year, or rather next
year, falls on Sunday, and this Is one
reason why it was found embarrassing to
give the New Years ball on the specific
date. When holidays fall on the Sab
bath a difference OF opinion generally
makes both Saturday and Monday par
tial holidays. Saturday night, it is easy
to be seen, is not fashionable
ball night, and Monday night is too I'M
duly soon in the week. The Commi t.
tee therefore decided upon Friday
night, which night, by the way, Is al
ways the best night Of the week.for such
affairs. It's Wednesdays for weddings
and Fridays for balls.
Among the merry happenings Of this
week is the festival and bazaar to be
given this evening In the lecture room
Of the United Presbyterian Church. The
room will be prettily decorated, and
there will be numerous novel and pict-
uresque booths, among them being q
japanese booth, which alone will be
well worth going TO see. All the ap-
pointments of this booth will be thor
oughly japanese, even to the occupants,
and 10 will be very attractive feature.
Fancy articles of all kinds will be on
exhibition, and refreshments in many
shapes will be served.
Last evening at $50 o'clock at Thorn
son M. K. Church, Miss Anna j. Hine, OF
E eventh street, and Mr.. ]. Bentley
Booher, of Washington, Pa, were united
in marriage by Rev. j. II. Hess. There
were no attendants, but the ushers were
Messrs. William Lane, John Bosley and
III. G. Dunn. AT the close OF the cere-
mony the bridal party were
driven to the home of the
bride on Eleventh street, where we'd
ding supper was discussed. At midnight
the newly welded couple left over the
3. & o. on an eastern bridal tour.
Tomorrow evening the ladies Of the
Cotillion club will give a leap year
dance at Franzheim's Hall, and it is
being awaited by the gentlemen with
delightful expectancy. The ladies will
carry out all the courtesies OF the even
ing, and as the young ladies OF the Co.
tillion are very deft and graceful In en-
PERTAINING, 1t is safe to presume that the
male participants will own no small por-
tion Of this cold, hard earth.
Miss lone Higgins was agreeably sur
prised by a number OF her young
friends last night, at her home on the
South Side. The occasion was the six
tenth anniversary of her birth. The
Young folks spent very pleasant even
ing in the usual social diversions, and
an elegant repast was discussed at the
usual hour.
