the Woman's Club. is the first TO which
the club has invited its friends of the
other sex. Last year the reception was
held in the daytime and no men invited;
this time the club is fully prepared to
show its friends what 1t can do and
Is going to do. The gentlemen lave
kindly assisted by lending the Jersey City
Club for the reception. The Jersey City
Woman's Cru differs from some of her
sister clubs in one respect. 1t does not
say, Women can do all that is neces-
sary, and we don need you mems as
sistance.p although it probably believes
that same saying implicitly, but says:
could do it all. but we won this
time. well let you help us"
Everything is being lone to make the
reception a grand success. 1t is not to
be the ordinary 'gabble, gobb1e, sit"
although there will be much talking. but
a very fine entertainment will be given
first. The Reception Committee, of which
Mrs. Harry B. Day is chairman, will be
there early and will usher the guests
to their seats. The entertainment is to
consist of a series of tableaux illustrative
or Jersey City women in early times. A
tableau representing Communipaw in
the Dutch days is in charge of Mrs.
Robert G.. Lyle, and will doubtless be a
fine one. All the young ladies in it are
C-ommunipaw girls of today and a great
deal of time and trouble has been ex-
pended in arranging their costumes. The
other tableaux are under the direction
of Miss Gaines. The musical part of the
programme will be unusually fine. DR..
George c. Ballard and Miss Lucy Nelson
will sing and several instrument will be
played. The intellectual part of the
evenings entertainment will be provided
by the brightest women of New Jersey.
Mrs. Margaret Yardley, President of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs, will
be present and also Mrs. Emily William
son. who will probably talk of the state
Charities"
After the entertainment light refresh
ments will be served by the Reception
Committee. There will be prettily ar
ranged tea tables and the decorations
will be pink and white.
Also tonight will be given the third in
the series of subscription dances of the
younger people in Foye Hall. This will
be something in the nature of a valen-
tine Dance and the subscribers expect
~ AAtSAt AJC - lax
men enjoyed the Leap Year Dance so
much that they feel inclined to turn this
into one. They think it an opportunity
not to be lost of showing the ladies what
work it is securing dances and guiding
and leading. The ladies have thus far
taken the lessons meekly, but they still
cling to the belief tina the pleasure of
choosing ones partner makes up for
all the trouble involved.
A reception, which is of interest to the
as well as the older set, is one
which will be given next Monday after
noon by Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry, at
her residence, No. $40 Bergen avenue.
Mrs. Perry will then introduce her
daughter. Miss Jessie, to Jersey City so
ciety. Miss Louise Perry will also re-
ceive the guests. The sisters are totally
dissimilar, one very dark, the other very
light, but both are very popular.
Mrs. James Hunt. of No. 800 Bergen
avenue. has been obliged to cancel her
invitations for her delightful musicales,
because of the severe illness of her old
est boy. Mrs. Hunts first musicale was
a charming affair, and it is to be hoped
that she will give the others of the
series later in the season.
