did themselves proud yesterday in the
entertainment of their friends.
1t was not only the event of New
Years day but it is not probable that
1t will be exceeded during the entire
year just opened.
From noon till midnight the festivi-
ties lasted, but of course the great
event was that Of the evening reception
when the beauty and cnivalry of Wich-
tia gathered in the palatial club rooms
to receive the hospitality Of the club
From the exterior the new Coronado
club building reflected the cheer within
and every ray of light that twinkled
through the windows in grand illumi-
nation was in itself a message of well
come to the guests
AT the entrance stood four of the club
members, gentlemen that Coronado
himself might envy for their chivalry,
who received the visitors with hos
pitable greeting that made them feel
next introduced to the florist who pre-
sented each with a beautiful bouquet.
knlghtly uSherS escorted the ladies to
one of the upper rooms to dispose of
their wraps while the gentlemen were
similarly disposed of. In the club
house library each guest was registered.
Isn't it perfectly lovely was the ex-
clamation of every one who saw the
beautiful rooms of the club for the first
time. And it was lovely with brilliant
lights, costly paintings and delicious
flowers wherever the eye turned. The
charming holly was woven and inter-
woven everywhere and not a nook es-
capped being adorned with a sprig of it.
The second story was similarly decorat-
ed as were also the halls and stairways
IN the parlor ShaW's full orchestra
dlscoursed charming music and beauti-
full as this was it was not near so sweet
as the vocal music rendered by the
mixed quartet consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Smyth, Mr.. Bion 3. Hull
and Miss Grace Hatton. In addition
Miss Beatrice Atkins delighted the
guests with some delicious selections
on the violin.
Enchanting as the parlor entertain-
ment was 1t found formidable rival
in the Dining room where New Years
good cheer prevailed in unlimited album
dance. Cake, coffee, sandwiches,
salads, ices and olives were dispensed
and jollier punch bowl was never seen
in the baronial halls of old than that
over which Thomas, the steward, pre-
sided.
In the upper story in which is located
the billiard hall young ladies enjoyed
themselves pursuing, with an uncer-
tain cue, the nimble worries and great
was the merriment of those who watch
ed the vain efforts of the fair ladies to
pocket a ball. This also furnished a
retreat for the knightly youth to pour
a tale of love into the ear Of his lady
love. Late in the evening the young
people responded to the music of the
orchestra and danced few hours of
the infant year away lightly and merri-
ly.
1t was an occasion that will linger
long and pleasantly in the memories Of
the guests and doubtless will be cherish
ed by many as one of the most joyful
events of their lives. The club can he
for it's success and
pitality dispensed under its auspices.
