The party went first to Delmonico's, where
an elaborate luncheon was served, AT It's
conclusion, carriages were in waiting to con-
vey the guests to the Empire Theatre. where
a special matinee performance of Ibsen's
Dolls House was to be given. This was
another of Mrs. Young's ways OF doing good.
| for the occasion was a benefit performance
for the maternity and training school depart
| ments of the Hahnemann Hospital, n Mrs.
Young was able at one and the same time,
| to give her friends an afternoon of great
pleasure, and materially benefit a most
worthy cause.
Another reason why the afternoon was of
special interest was that the principal char
acter was taken by Mrs. Minnie Maddern-
Fiske, daughter-in-1aw of Mrs. Lyman Fiske,
and a woman of rare n varied talents,
| literary as well as historic. The afternoon
was a complete success, and the guests re-
turned thoroughly delighted.
The greater number were present at the
first psrfornnanre of Cinderella, which was
| oiyen last night, as reported elsewhere. The
Entertainment, which is decidedly worth at
| tending. will be given tonight and at to-
| morroW's matinee. The entertainment is
under the patronage of women well known
in society, headed by Mrs. Young. 1t is
different from anything hitherto given IN
| Jersey City, and a brilliant affair.
Slefghing parties are the latest form OF
amusement just now indeed one of the few
allowable Lenten festivities.

The new club for women, which effected a
temporary organization last Saturday after
| noon, will make a permanent organization
this afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. A.
J. Newberry, on Clifton place. Mrs. l.. Il.
FarTant is now temporary chairman. The
impression has become current, perhaps ow-
ing to the frequency of these meetings for
week when in running order. This is by no
means true. The members simply realize
thai as far as organization and general oil
ing of machinery goes, sif 'twere done, then
'twere well 'twere done quickly"
