SOCIETY.

The bonnet social given by the Beth
esda Sabbath school in the church, cor
ner East Ninth street and Central ave.
nue., last Friday night, was quite as sue
cessful financially as it was enjoyable
otherwise. Notwithstanding the mud
and the threatening aspect of the
weather, the attendance was large, the
announcement that large and varied
assortment of choice (?) millinery
would be placed on exhibition during
the evening bringing the ladies out in
full force.
The opening number on the pro-
gramme was a song and chorus, Tele-
phone in de Air. Then Helen Parker, a
sweet little tot of five years, told all
about How to Make the Shoe in song,
which she rendered very nicely. The
closing number was the Sunhower
chorus, which was encored. Then a
rush was made for the millinery depart
ment, where the stock was being sold
for cash. Ten cents was sufficient to
furnish each gentleman with bonnet
and the necessary trimming.
Then, while they were laboriously en-
gagged in trying to evolve from the mass
of ribbons, flowers, feathers. etc., femi-
nine hesdgear as dainty and beautiful
as is often displayed in the windows of
our millinery stores, the ladies stood
complacently by and enjoyed the fun.
Whom the work was completed the rs-
sult in many cases, to say the least, was
startling, for some of the bonnets were
fearfully and wonderfully made. The
ladies', of course, wore these dainty (?)
productions of masculine taste and skill
to supper, which added to the fun, and
was the cause of much good natured
chatting. The first prize for the best
trimmed bonnet WAS awarded to Mr..
Harry McStay, while Mr.. Owen Case
carried himself with becoming modesty
when he was awarded the BOBBY prize.
A good old-fashioned supper was then
served, after which all went home well
pleased with the evenings fun.

The reception rendered the students
of Woodbury's Business college by Prof.
and Mrs. Hough at their residence, 1131
Hill street, Wednesday evening, the 9th
inst, was very enjoyable and enter
tanning affair. Despite the damp
weather and bad roads, the students
were all present early and by o'clock
the beautiful parlors were full to over
flowing with a gathering OF young ladies
and gentlemen, which for intelligence
and refinement would grace any assem-
bly,. The opening number of short
and very pleasing programme was in
troduced by Prof. E. @. Wilson on the
violin, accompanied by Mr.. Stevenson
on the piano, and elected the applause
which these gentlemen never fail to ex-
cite. A pleasing selection on the piano
by Miss Lawrence shows this young
lady to be possessed of great talent.
Next followed recitations by Miss Pearly
Gleason and Prof. Hough, which were
encored and gave much enjoyment.
A novel feature of the evening was the
distribution OF numbered cards to the
ladies and gentlemen, each to find his
partner for refreshments by the number
corresponding to his own, and the So
ciable stampede for partners which fol-
lowed was very amusing. After ice cream
and cake refreshments and just before
dispersing, the rooms were darkened
and hash-light photograph of all pres
ent was taken.
