URt!

The members of the Cooking club placed
before their guests last night a dinner of
which they may well be proud. Tire spac-
ious dining room. hall and library in this
beautiful house, were thrown into one, and
the fifty chairs surrounded a table in one
entire length. China, glass and silver
glittercd under the soft light OF beautiful
lamps, while flowers of beauty and per-
fume mingled their odors with those of the
dainty dishes. A small army OF colored
people served the entire meal without
fault, and from half past till half past
10 the guests remained at the table.
Mrs +. VI. Spangler, the president OF the
club. presided with ease and dignity, and
jokes and repartee abounded. The fish
course was served from the table by four
ladies, as the well-cooked and beautifully
garnished dishes were placed before them.
At a convenient time and before the
close of the meal toasts were responded
10 by several gentlemen.
