The annual reception rendered by the
knights of Pythias Sunnyside lodge to its
membership and hosts of friends at its ell
egant apartments last evening far ex-
ceeded that of last year, which was univer-
sally voted the social event of the season.
The decorations of the several rooms, and
particularly those of the banquet hall,
we're of nature to call forth delightful as
tonishment upon entering. While Jack
Frost had in measure handicapped the
committee by foreclosing his lien on the
flower gardens, the valiant knishts we're
not to be outdone, and ''old glory" and
the "habilinents of war" were brought
into service, and numerous designs, unique
and beautiful. adorned the room. On one
side the wall literally bristled with javelin
points arranged in a semicircle, while its
opposite was a complete circle constructed
of unsheathed sword blades of the Uniform
rank-a unique design, the idea of Captain
Alklre. Upon every hand we're haiberds
and helmets, falchions and armor, while
ov all and around all were draped in
beautiful folds the honored emblem to
which the Uniform rank bends the knee
and in defense of which the walls would
have been immediately stripped of shining
blades. The dancers were numerous and
many beautiful gowns were worn. Ohl-
meyers full quadrille orchestra furnished
the music, and it was excellent and up to
date. For those "too old to dance"
amusement was provided in Castle hall,
where dozen or more tables were devoted
to progressive whist, and elegant souvenirs
were bestowed upon successful contesta ats.
An exquisite jewel case was given to Miss
Carrie Egg gieston, an atOmiZer of beautiful
design to j. f. Porter. decorated china
chocolate set to Mrs. E. E. Miller, and
l. ii l. II 49,
Bush. Chancellor Commander Mills and
Knight Monroe served as a committee in
the card room. Following the bestowal of
prizes, refreshments of a nature both sub
stantial and delicate were served by that
prince of caterers, Burt Younkin, in his
nevei-getrattled manner. After luncheon
dancing was resumed, and the small hours
were growing larger when the happy rev.
elers bade one another au revoir and a
happy New Year. Those who acted on the
committee and carried out the details of
this most successful entertainment were
knights c. o. Alkre, G. X. Stibbens, V. w.
Stiles, Rupert Shaw and S. w. Tyson. AS
sisting in the good work was delegation
from the Temple of Rathbone Sisters, con-
sisting of Mrs. II H. Monroe, Mrs. G. r.
Stibbens, Mrs w. P. russell, Mrs. E. e.
Miller and Mrs. Il. B. Howe, which helped
most materially in smoothing out little
ruffles.
