he felt surreptitiously for the hand that

IA i0TEL Entertainment,
The Birthday Social Given by Kings
Daughters Society
At the Mcclure House Last Even
ing-Reception from Eight O'clock
until MISUNDERSTANDING in the
old Dining room-Neat Sum Re
allied.

The entertainment given at the Nc
Lure House last evening by the Kings
Daughters Missionary Society of st.
Matthews P. e. Church, was complete
success. The little sacks which were
distributed among the invited guests
were returned bulging out with coin Of
various denominations. 1t is certain
that some Of the guests erred in regard
to their ages, but as the mistakes were
usually on the right side, there was no
complaint from the ladies of the COM
mittee. There were no centenarians
among those who attended but many
sacks contained dollars. The receipts
amounted to a handsome sum, both
from this source and the fee charged
for participation in the terpsichorean
festivities.
The affair was not less successful IN
q social sense. There were about 4OO
guests. The parlors and corridors had
been tastefully embellished with potted
plants and exOtics They were judi
ciOusly placed, and the effect was pleas
ing to the artistic eye. The guests
were received by Mesdames n. B. Scott,
George B. Caldwell, S. p. Norton, n.
Z. Whitaker. DR.. G.. A. Achman, b. w.
Peterson and r. Rush Swope. Light
refreshments, consisting OF coffee ana
sandwiches, were served by a commit
tee consisting of Mesdames Howard
Simpson Charles w. List and Alex.
Glass and Misses Martha Caldwell,
Hulda Delaplaine, Jessie Berger, Mary
Dickey. Mamie Grub, Lydia Good,
Holly Patterson. Mary Woods, Mamie
Patterson, Elsie Whitaker, May Horn
brook, Blanche Hoge, Sadie Mead,
Jeanny Good, jeanette Horsley, Lulu
Horsley, Ida Updegraff, and Prim Bedil-
lion.
The guests spent a delightful season
in social intercoures. An impromptu
musical programme was rendered,
which added materially to the pleas
ures of the evening. The doors of the
old dining hall were thrown open,
through the kindness Of Mrs. Howard
Thompson, wife of one of the prophet
Ors of the hotel. An Italian orchestra,
stationed In one corner Of the hall
discoursed pleasing melodies and the
devOtees of the glance glided over the
waXen surface to the rhythmic strains.
The young people all danced, and made
this one Of the most enjoyable features
of the entertainment Colonel Ned
Stalnaker had charge of the terpsich-
orean programme, and was assisted by
Miss Sue Caldwell. The merriment
continued without interruption until
midnight. The ladies of the committee
are to be congratulated upon the sue
cess of their plan for combining whole
some amusement with the realization
OF funds for a worthy cause.
