TIE JONATHAN CLUB
LADIES ENTERTAINED WITH
MUSIC
Flowers and Feasting at the Social
Last Night and incidentally
Some Books

The Jonathan club entertained the
ladies right royalty last night and the
book social was in every way a pro-
nounced success. Two tables in one of
the reading rooms were covered with
handsomely bound volumes, and the
subjects and authors were various
enough to suit the most fastidious.
The modern grill work that is over
the doorways leading off from the main
corridor was twined with long sprays of
ivy and the stair balusters and support
ing columns were wound with the same
dark green. The flowers were all in the
club colors, scarlet and white, and car
nations, roses. hydrangeas and maiden
hair ferns were distributed about the
rooms in generous clusters. Potted
palms were placed on either landing of
the stairways, and the single fans also
lent their decorative effect to the whole.
The guests were welcomed by mem
bers of the reception committee, which
was made up of the following club men,
bers: Messre Griffith ]. Griffith, w. H.
Davis. w. G. Barnwell, S. P. Hunt. F.
J. Thomas, DIR. E. w. Hening. The
Schoneman-B Blanchard orchestra was in
attendance and played at intervals un-
til about 9 o'clock, when the following
program was rendered: Vocal solo,

Ries, Edwin H. Clark; and by special
request Mr. Dunbar sang for the last
number Prince Poniatowski' S rollicking
"Yeoman's Wedding Song"
The whole program was thoroughly
enjoyed, the old friends won new laurels
and the newer ones were given cordial
recognition in the way of applause. Miss
Eva Ellsworth accompanied the singers
with the exquisite art and sympathy
that is characteristic of all her work,
and she and the other executants were
presented with handsome bouquets of
scarlet and white carnations tied with
wide scarlet satin ribbon.
Mrs. Katherine Kimball Forest, who
was to have contributed some songs,
was detained by illness and the guests
were denied what should have been a
particularly enjoyable part of the pro-
gram.

was in charge of Messrs ]. T. Fitzgerald.

and DR.. Karl Kurtz, supper was served
