IN SOCIETY.

The entertainment which was given
last Friday night at the Bethesda
church, corner Central avenue and East
Ninth street, netted a neat sum to the
church funds and afforded entertain
ment and amusement to the large audi
ence which was present. The opening
number was Welsh song, rendered BY
Misses Annie and May Hughes and MI.
J. H. Humphreys. They were dressed
in the quaint, old-fashioned costumes
which were in vogue in Wales many
years ago. Miss Laura Cotton, little
tot OF years, next delighted the audi
dered in her own inimitable style. She
gracefully responded to an enthusiastic
encore. Miss Katie O'Rourke then rem
dered violin solo in very acceptable
manner. A dialogue by the Cotton
children, followed by trio by Misses
May and Annie Hughes and Mr.. ].
H. Humphreys, q recitation by
Miss Ethel Brooks. recitation by
Master Oscar Cotton, which was en-
cored; recitation by little Laura Cot
ton, and an instrumental duet (violin
and piano) by Misses Katie O'Rourke
and Ethel Brooks concluded the pro.
gramme. An oldfashioned spelling
match then took place, which awakened
considerable interest in those who did
not take part. The first prize, nicely
bound copy of Longfellow's earlier
poems, was won by Miss Emily Nc
MILAN. Ice cream and cake was then
served, and short time was spent in
social enjoyment, after which the COM
pany dispersed, all feeling that q
pleasantly spent evening had come to
close. The Cotton children, whose
very clever specialties added go much to
the enjoyment of the evening, deserve
especial mention. They simply captured
their audience by storm, and each num-
Der rendered by them elected loud and
prolonged applause.
