known on the Merrimao as on the
Ogechee, and to his mother, who has
been visiting Los Angeles as the guest OF
Mrs. Taylor, was given this testimonial
by herself and Mrs. Ward to show their
admiration of noble motherhood. As all
Rome did honor to Cornelia because she
was the mother of the Graechi, it was fit
and proper that all who knew the splen-
did achievements of Henry W. Grady as
editor, orator and man, should unite in
knowing his noble mother.
The only regret of the hostesses was
that they had not Roman coliseum for
guest chamber, and only a limited
number could find entrance to the Ward
residence. The rooms were artistically de-
corated with flowers and the guests repre-
eented culture, refinement and elegance !;
men and women of the north and south
vying with one another in showing their
appreciation OF the guest of honor, whose
grace. suavity and brightness made all
feel that most great men owe their great.
ness to just such mothers.
Another entertainment given in Mrs
Grady's honor, but quite different in the
matter OF detail, was one that took place
last evening at the residence and studio
combined of Mr.. and Mrs. William Nc.
Closky on Lovelace avenue. The invita-
tions were an informal 'call' to q "Bos
hemian Frolic," in which each guest
was commanded to bring some accom-
plishment, accordions being the one in
strument at which the line was drawn.
The arrangements were absolutely
unique and refreshingly novel, strict
conventionalty was laid aside and an
air of genial Joy and infectious good
humor prevailed. About 70 gueats re-
sponded, and many cley er things were
said and done. As the McCloskey resi-
dence also has its limits, only those
could be invited to whom Mrs. McClos-
key was under social obligations. Ssv.
eral Nuslcal numbers were enjoyed. A
piano duet, the William Tell overture,
played by Mrs. j. s. Vosburg and the
hostess, and vocal solos, Miss Kimball
and Mrs. Jenny Kempton. To carry
out the Bohemian idea, when supper
was announced, each man WAS privi.
leged to escort his own wife. Accommo-
dstlons for ali to be seated at once were
provided in the spacious studio at the
rear OF the house, across one end of
which large lighted Japanese lanterns
spelled the name GRADY" while on one
side was keg of beer on tap and mount
ed on stand made of bottles OF anti.
dotes, in the way of Jamaica ginger and
camphor. Tamales, lobster salad and
coffee were among the delectable dain-
ties offered and ,ong time was spent in
discussing their qualities.
