A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
The TWin-City Cub Royalty Entertains
the Visitors to the City.

Lunch at Hotel Zinzendorf Followed
by a German Participated in by
Seventy-Fiye Couples About Five
Hundred People at the Reception.
It has been the time honored Gus
tom of the members of the Twin
City Club to give an annual recep-
ton Immediately following each
Salem Academy Commencement in
honor of the young ladies visiting
the city at that time.
UFon these occasions it is not a
matter of expense that is entered
into as consideration, but it is how
they can most fittingly entertain
their visitors. The details of these
receptions are carefully looked after
by full corps of committees ap
pointed for their special fitness, and
it is for this reason mainly that the
club feels the proud satisfaction of
having always been able to enter
tain their visitors in a way credit
able alike to themselves and the
city they represent.
The reception given by the club
Thursday night was a repetition of
those of the past, but on grand
er and more elaborate scale. This
being the first reception in the new
club room, where no pains or expense
have been spared to make it one of
the best equipped in the State, one
might very naturally look for some
thing brilliant and dazzling, and in
this there was no disappointment.
The rooms were elegantly furnish
ed and splendldly illuminated, hun
dreds of electric lights blazed and
CLEANED through tinted glass globes,
spreading rich, mellow light over
the assembled throng, touching all
upon which they shown with tints of
exquisite beauty. The Salem Or
chestra. which had been engaged to
play at the club-rooms during the
time, entertained the company with
some of their best and sweetest selec-
tions, the exquisite music rose and
fell like the billows upon sum-
mer sea, thrilling every fiber of ones
being with the touch oftenderest har-
mony.
There was an unusually large
number of ladies present and the
costumes were richer and more ella b.
orate than was ever seen upon SINH
lar occe sion.
Between a flash of diamonds on
heavens fairest and the sparkle of
rubies and opals and electric jets,
imprisoned in their tinted globes
there was constant rivalry.
About eleven O'Clock several cars
were pulled up in front Of the club
rooms in which the guest were taken
and conveyed to Hotel Zinzendorf
where about 500 were served a
lunch. And by the way the Zinzen
dorf is grand and imposing struct-
ure, properly and perfectly fitted
and furnished-just such a hotel as
Winston has long needed, and just
such as could properly accommodate
such crowd as assembled there last
night.
A fter lunch many amused them
selves promenading through the spa
cious halls and piazzas, while others
cling.
The German was called at 2
O'Clock. Mr.. Robert Galloway, of
WINSTON, anu MISS nifty May Tenn,
of Reidsville, leading. There were
seventy-five couples on the floor and
the parlor was taxed to its utmost
to accommodate them. The Charlotte
band furnished the music, and for
two hours the throbing of happy
hearts beat in tuneful harmony with
the louder and sweeter strains OF
enhancing music. Richly dressed
and elegant ladies, with slippered
dainty feet, touched with toe-tip the
waxened floor as they whirled in the
dizzy dance, leaning upon the arm of
some gallant chivalrous Knight, brave
and true.
Messrs. R. S. Galloway, r. L
Gambler, W. F. Shaffner, r. W. Cor
rell and W. C. Brown were the floor
managers.
