A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
Receptions and At-Homes the
Ruling Entcrtainments-The
Our-BOys Performance.

The Tuesday German Club made q
graceful exit on the evening Of the oath,
when the last OF series Of beautiful
entertainments was given at the Masonic
Temple. "The Tuesday" deserves spe'
cial credit for the very successful man
ner in which grave difficulties have
been surmounted and troubles
overcome in its reorganization
this season. The result has shown what
energy and interest can do. The club
has given five elegant entertainments.
The system of acknowledgement,
seated suppers was inaugurated by "The
Tuesday" an example which has been
followed by other clubs and by indi-
yidual entertainers. The clubs member
ship exceeds eighty, and has contributed
a full share to the pleasure of the ger
man dancers OF Richmond as well as to
the entertainment Of the many visitors
here in this and many foregoing sea-
sons. The committee has. been "care-
full to entertain strangers" and the
chsperons have received from them
the most courteous attention and con-
sideration, and the leading by MIR.
Adolphus Blair, Jr., has been o subject
Of great admiration each time. The
last, on Tuesday evening, was more bril-
liant than the first, and universal regret
was expressed that there would be no
more until next season.

informal afternoon entertainments given
under the various titles of "recep-
tions," "teas,' "at homes and the
pleasure of meeting friends two or three
times during an afternoon seems rather
TO enhance than to detract from the en-
joyment of the tea-goers. 1t is charm
ing fashion, whose shadow. let US hope,
" will never grow less.
