The Rathbone Sisters Give Their First
Social Party and Ball.
The K. of P. hall Tuesday evening
was the scene of one of the most pleas
ant balls of the season. The affair was
under the auspices of the RathbOne
sisters, the ladies' auxiliary of the
Knights of Pythias and was their first
social affair since the institution of their
organization in February last. Natur-
ally they are proud of their first effort.
Attendance was by invitation and it
seemed as if every one invited attend
ed. The, hall was completely and thor
Oughly filled. 1t was holiday crowd
and among the thrOng were some Of
the most prominent people of the city.
The walls of the lodge room are deco
rated by paintings portraying different
scenes from the story of Damon and
Pythias, upon the principles of which
tale the order is founded. Tuesday
evening the knights had discarded
their armor for dress suits. The sword
was thrown aside and the pike and he'll
met discarded. The ladies instead of
being arrayed in the garb Of old, were
arrayed in more fashionable attire.
Damon and Pythias were both there,
but the tyrant emperor was conspicuous
by his absence. In fact the finest kind
of enjoyment was on tap and every one
partook of it in a liberal manner. The
K. of P. lodge room is model place
for party of this sort; everything is
arranged for the greatest convenience.
Not a few of the knights lent their
presence for the evening, and not car
ing to dance, enjoyed the excitement
of an occasional game of billiards in
the anteroom. Supper was served by
the ladies at 11:30 O'Clock. The music
was furnished by Schultz in his usual
satisfactory style. Some of the couples
departed early, but as the crowd
thinned out the enjoyment of those who
remained increased, and the morning
was almost at hand when the rooms
we're at last deserted. Among those
present were:
