The prettily engraved cards OF invi-

sued for Friday evening by the Misses
HUNT who entertained the young reo-
pie very charmingly. Each hostess in
this club endeavors 10 make her enter
tainment different from the preyions,
and on this occasion the novel idea OF
"potato party" took form and good
deal OF fun was the result. There we're
pretty trinkets as prizes and nice sup
per, and this entertainment quite sus-
tained the reputation Of the club
for giving original and informal parties
in its own delightful way. Those pre-
sent we're Misses Marion and Kate

The entertainment by the Daughters
Of the Revolution will open with beau
tiful tabloau entitled 1.-THE Dancing
Lesson Of Our Grandmothers. The
picture is to be photogravure from the
original painting by kosenthal, OF the
German school. The dancing master in
the picture looks the very perfection of
department, which all dancing masters
of that period were required to be. Our
grandmothers, although not accustomed
10 the whirl Of social pleasures of the
present day, danced with n grace that
may we'll be envied, the Virginia
reel. Scotch reel, and contra dances
which displayed their motions Of ease to
far greater advantage than does the
present style Of dancing. Some of the
most graceful and attractive young ladies
in Richmond will personste their grand
mothers on this occasion, and the enter
tainment will be entirely worthy of a
fine audience. The bright little play,
Our Boys" will follow the tableau,
and if the rehearsals are any indication
of the final rendition it will certainly be
a success. The committee has decided
10 sell the boxes at auction, and it Is
hoped the returns will be satisfactory.
