SATURDAY SALAD.

w. II. II. LLEWELLYN.
SATURDAY SALAD.
The reception held by Mr.. and Mrs. T.
B. Catron on Tuesday evening last was
attended BY some 125 guests, and from
$3.50 to midnight the palatial home was
scene of rare enjoyment. The approach
to the house was effectively decorated
with pretty Chinese lanterns enclosing
electric lights, while the lawns we're out
lined with illuminated colored glass cups
which Mrs. Catron brought with her from
PARIS. Inside the broad portals of the
hospitable home the scene was even more
brilliant. Mr.. and Mrs. Catron and Mrs.
Schultz were assisted in receiving their
guests by Governor and Mrs. w. I.
Thornton, Major and Mrs. R. J. Palen
and Miss Gulliford. They stood in the
large front reception room, the floral
decorations of which were particularly
happy; in the back ground appearing
large branches of double peach and apple
blossoms, most artistically arranged by
Mr.. Boyle, which harmonized perfectly
with the many beautiful costumes.
Mrs. Catron never appeared to greater
advantage than when dispensing on this
occasion the splendid hospitality for
which she is noted. She wore robe of
rich turquoise blue draped and trimmed
with Russian silk lace, her ornaments

From the reception room the guests wan
dered about at will through the music,
carI, dancing and billiard rooms of the
mansion, all of which were superbly dec
grated and aglow with soft lights, rich in
the perfume of rare flowers and full of
beauty and good cheer. The supper was
elegantly served, the spacious dining hall
at II o'clock presenting picture of
grace and beauty and choice viands not
often enjoyed by far west communities.
Dainty fairy lamps innumerable we're
here seen peeping from garlands of flow
ers beautifully arranged by Mr.. Boyle's
artistic hand, and here was an additional
attraction in the presence of Miss Guilt
| ford-a whole host in herself-who served
the supper assisted by Miss Walz, Miss
Baker, Niss Beatty ard Miss Morrison.
This festlvity was held in celebration of
the sixteenth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Catron. Shortly after
midnight the company dispersed wishing
the host and hostess very many happy
returns of the day.

Music has always been recognized as
most beneficial and helpful agent in hos
pital work. In London, musicians have
formed an association known as 1.-The
Guild of st. Cecilia" to cheer and beguile
the patients in the hospitals of that great
city with good music. Physicians and
nurses agree that music is the most valu-
able agency for healing in the influence it
has over the minds OF the sick and suffer-
ing. The patients at St. Vincent hospital
are deeply indebted to Col. E. P. Pearson
for the Tuesday afternoon concerts in the
hospital grounds, and to say that the
good Sisters appreciate this kindly atten-
ton doesn't half express it.
