ST. Andrews Parish held its initial
social on Friday night at the residence
of Miss Sophie Jones, 300 J street.
This little parish has, under the untir-
ing energy of the Rev. Charles Mel,
rector of st. PauPs, lately sphung into
existence and become a body of no
mean proportions, with its regular list
of communicates. its Sunday-school
and its Woman's Guild of twenty-eight
members. The social was truly an
event in the existence of this infant
parish, and was the means of starting
it well along in its necessary relations
with the world. The parlors were
handsomely decorated with flowers and
delicate asparagus branches. The
chandeliers were all done in the diff
ferent rooms in contrasting colors, and
a general air of social warmth per-
vaded the atmosphere.
There was a large attendance, and
the little box that stood on a table at
the entrance, before the evening was
well along contained enough of the
coveted silver coin to pay all indebted
ness and leave little surplus towards
the building fund. The home of the
parish at present is the building at
Twenty-second and X streets, owned
by the Congregational Church. Every
effort is being made, however, to Sc
cure as soon as possible a permanent
location, whereon a church building
may be erected, and if the interest al
ready displayed in the movement con-
tinues to grow, it will no doubt become
a reality ere many months have rolled
around.
The parlors were set aside for the
music, and in the library Mesdames
Baker and Townsend dispensed de-
licious iced lemonade and dainty wa
fers.

The Mcneil Club is to give another of
its delightful concerts on June Sth, at
the Congregational Church. This club,
which has held we'll together for some
years past, has done so good work that

sure of a treat musically as the club
is decreasing neither in members nor
ability to sustain the reputation it has
already won.
