The members of the Arion have

with their famed hospitality. This was
demonstrated yesterday, when a Kaffee

of things was reversed. the gentlemen
assembling in the afternoon, and doing
the honors for the ladies. So we'll did
they perform their duties that new
standard has been established for en-
tertainments OF q similar nature. IL
was in every respect the mostsuccess-
tul Kaffee Visits ever given in the cosy
club house.
The affair was in charge OF a commit
tee composed of G. A. Schafer, w. G.

Jeffers, William Kerbach, Fred Viewig,

gentlemen assembled In the hall in the
afternoon and made arrangements for
the festivities of the even
ing. At five o'clock the chill
dren OF members were treated
to an excellent spread in the commodi-
Gus dining hall. At six o'clock the mar
ried folks and unmarried lady friends
of the members called for supper The
spead was a bounteous one, and its ex-
cellence was attested by the rapid man
ner in which the viands disappeared.
Each guest was presented with a hand
some boutonnier upon entering the
dining hall. The committee had not
made preparations for such large at
tendance, but there was an abundance
OF everything. There were nearly three
hundred guests present during the
evening, the largest attendance at any
Arion affair yet given.
A novel programme was prepared for
the evening. A postoffice was estsb-
lished, with Charles Schambra as the
accommodating p. NJ. The mail car
rers were Will Welty, Christ Viewig
and Charles Bowers. The mail matter
was made up exclusively OF valentines,
some of them of the fancy variety, but
most OF them comic. Almost every
guest was handed parcel, and no end
of merriment was created when the
packages were opened. The recipients
were compelled to pay nominal tax for
postage.
The programme was varied, in order
that something would be provided for
the most eXscting taste. Beuter Broth
er's quartette sang number OF pleas
ing selections, accompanying them
selves with mandolins and guitars.
Their musical numbers were excellent,
and each was warmly applauded. In
the card rooms, down stairs, the devo-
tees OF euchre, whist and pedro, found
much to occupy their attention.
Prof. Charles Killmeyer gracefully
presided at the piano in the dance hall,
and tickled the worries with his accus-
toned skill. To his tuneful measures
a short dance programme was followed.
At eleven o'clock the affair was
brought to a close, all voting it one Of
the most delightful events upon the
Arion winter programme.
