A Society Event.


a beautiful home, in which all the
apartments were sweet with plants and
flowers. tastefully arranged, was what
Mr.. Scott Rubert's residence, on Wal
nut street, was on last Thursday eve
ming, Sept. 18th. A sudden transition
was experienced by every one who en-
tered this hospitable home. Vases of
palms and other exotics were artistical-
ly arranged, the flowers mingled with
tbs green and delicate pink lights, cast
from shades, gave the rooom an invit-
ing appearance, and preserved the idea
OF the decorations, while beside their
rich and unobtrusive beauty, the pretty
gowns worn by all the ladies, appeared
to the greatest advantage.
The guests were met at the door by
Miss Lucy Hahn, who introduced them
to the young ladies who assisted in re-
ceivIng, Miss Alto Willis, of Edinbo-
rough, Missouri, a sister of Mrs. Rubert,
and Miss Mary Wright, of London,
Ohio, q cousin. All were made doubly
welcome by the cordial greeting of the
host and hostess during the evening.
Dancing was INDUCED and the Misses
Currie rendered some lovely music.
Miss Hahn executed some piano music
and sang some beautiful selections, &C.
companied by the violin, played by Miss
Nellie Currie. The refreshments were
pronounced to be exceptionally deli
cious. The affair was one of the most
pleasant of the season.
As the cards are out announcing Miss
Hahn's approaching marriage. this will
be the last time she will meet with and
entertain her friends in society. Her
music, which she renders so gladly at
all times, and to which she is SO de-
voted, will be greatly missed, and her
absence deplored by all her friends.

Deafness Can Not be Cured

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear, There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
eionai remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
hamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have rumbling sound, or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed. deafness is
the result. aud unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces,
We VIII give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure, SEND for
circulars free.
