A PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Perhaps one of the most pleasant fea-
lures of Wednesday was the reception
rendered the delegates at nine o'clock
in the evening at which Bishop Vincent,
president, and Mrs. Lewis Miller, and
Miss Kate Il. Kimball acted as hosts.
AS is usual on such occasions, the Hall
in the Grove" lighted by the Athens
and watch fires, was POLITICALLY beauti-
full. This beautiful place is familiar to
you all. even those who have not been
of ~ NJ in made DV
"Pansy's" graphic pen. Tasteful deco
rations of cut flowers and ferns with
here and there u potted plant. added
to the natural beauty of the forest
green by which it is surrounded. Truly,
if one gives his fancy play, strange
weird scenes would pass before MS
minds eye in this temple symbolic OF
classic lore. At the close of the recep-
ton, Bishop Vincent made a few re-
marks in his own cordial happy man
ner, urging all to make the class or
1900 grand success. His plea was for
broad culture.
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Annie Jen-
ness Miller made, as she always does,
a graceful appearance upon the plat
form. being herself a fair example of
what she preaches-'Beauty and health
in dress" Her large audience listened
with rapt attention while she gave her
talk and answered many questions as
to her own wearing apparel. She ap-
peared in three different costumes by
way of illustration. The first, hand
some white brocaded silk with very
short sleeves, rather low neck and train,
suitable, she said. only for such and
similar occasions as the one on which
she wore it. The second, also an even
ing dress but clearing the floor reveal
ing her feet encased in pretty white
slippers. The change from one dress
to the Other was made in less than
four minutes. but Mrs. Miller was in
formed by a gentleman in the audience
that "his wife could beat that" The
third dress was a travelling suit of
brown. not strikingly different from
that worn by any other well dressed
woman unless the decorations We're
trife prettier and the waist a trife
shorter. Mrs. Miller says she does not
own a petticoat and has not worn one
for years. She claims to have attained
her present symmetry of form by means
of physical culture. She believes in
the bicycle for women but is sure wo-
man can appear more modest and ride
