AT the beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs

nue.. last evening from to IL, there was
given reception by the members of the
Central Church of Christ in honor OF
Miss Helena l2hea Woodman, who is too
well known iE this city TO even hint al
Introducing here. The reception was
given as a maxi of honor to show the ap-
probation of the untiring energy with
(which she has labored in the cause for
which all religious bodies bend their en-
orgies. She mas left no stone unturned,
no step untal1en. no work undone. which
she could do, and now that she is soon to
depart from the city of her birth to re-
main permanently after being here so
Gong, the prospect of her leaving is felt.
The house was thrown open in all its
spacious and Handsomely furnished
apartments and lhe entertainers soon
filled it and warmly received their guest
when she arrived Under each chande-
1ier hung a large bunch of misteltoe.
while the rooms were otherwise prettlIy
decorated about the walls and mantels.
in the bay window at the south end of
the dining room stood a ia bic upon whose
snowy white linens rested q large bowl
containing lemonade with the accom-
panying cups. The table was otherwise
daintily adorned with ferns, which were
very beautiful in their arrangement.
During the evening Miss Rhea was
presented with a handsomely bound SET
of the complete works OF Charles Dick
ems. Miss Woodman in her reply to the
meat and concise presentation speech by
Miss Leida Mills, touched every listener
with its beauty of paGhos and tender re-
gard for the thoughtful friends who
had thus remembered her.
Miss Woodn1an leaves about the first
OF the year for Lawrence, Kan, where
she will remain at the State University
while pursuing a special course of study
until June next, after which she expects
TO go on 10 Chicago, there TO reside per-
1nanent1y. To say that she will be miss
ed in the social circle in which she has
been a moving spirit not the least short
Of the top, in the work of the Kings
Daughters, in Hypa5ia and in her part
and more than her part as church
worker would almost be intense irony.
Her friends, beyond counting, give her
all that il is possible for them to give in
warm, loving, lasting heartfelt hopes for
her future
TRIP THE FANTASTIC.
The Commercial Travellers ball on the
eve of Christmas day was a very enjoy
able affair. The jolly drummers never
enjoy things by halves and they did not
break their record this time. The floor
was in excellent condition, and the at
tendance was large enough 10 satisfy
any one, and the floor was as full as
was comfortable during every number.
Professor Blume supplied the airy tones
which set the feet flying and every one
enjoyed themselves thoroughly until
quite late hour.
The hall had been previously decorat-
ed with ferns, evergreens and large
foliage plants, and this added not lit
tie to the enlivenment of the scene.
