FOR CYCLE PATHS.
Informal Party at the Armory Last Night
Great Success.

Informal Party at the Armory Last Night
Great Success.
The lantern parade and informal ball
given under the auspices of the Owosso Cy-
Gle Path Club last evening was success,
the informal party at the Armory proving
to be as pleasant and enjoyable an affair as
any of the most elaborate balls.
The parade itself was simply very small
sample o. what might be shown II every
wheelman in the city had taken hold,
decorated his wheel with lanterns and Joined
with those who did. The effect is certainly
very pretty, as those who took part last
night clearly proved.
At the Armory the City Band was station
ed and provided the best of two steps and
dance music until eleven o'clock. The floor
was well filed all the time with couples and
everything passed off pleasantly and in
purely informal way. Bicycle costumes
were the correct thing, but everything went
except full evening dress.
Refreshments were served by the ladies
In one corner and in another Geo. r. Black
and II. Kirk White manipulated Stan Park
ilPs ginger ale fountain loaned for the oc-
casion. "Black and White" ginger ale
proved quite as popular as STAINS celebrated
brand of Vernor's.
After eleven o'clock Miss Dollie Murray
very graciously took her place at the piano
and furnished music for the dancers who
wished to remain longer.
The proceeds which will be available for
the clubs path building fund will probably
reach about seventy dollars, and the man
agement as well as all who took part in the
event are well pleased with Its success.

Diversity of Shipments

Furniture shipments from the Estey fur
niture factories in this city cover a very
wide extent of territory. Last week
eighteen full car load orders were filed
from the factories besides the large amounts
OF shipments of lots smaller than car load
lots. The nearest car load order was In
jackson, Mich; the most distant, San Fran
cisco, California. Another will be sent to
Denver tomorrow. Shipments will also be
made to East London, Cape Town, and
Elgoa, South Africa, today or tomorrow.
About fifty orders for car load lots are now
on hand awaiting their turn or time Of
shipment.
The South Africa trade Is one which Is
growing and already has occasioned con-
siderable speculation as to Its final outcome.
The wants of this trade are different from
the United States trade. The South Afri-
can dealers want something resembling the
large old fashioned bureaus, tall, and with
no mirror, though instead Of bureaus they
style them 'chests of draws" This stylt
of work is so different from the rest Of thu
work in the shop that the plan Is being con
sidered of having additional room bull
especially for this class Of work.

A PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Women's Clubs Listen to Paper by Mrs.
lrma T. Jones.

Women's Clubs Listen to Paper by Mrs.
Irma T. Jones.
The home of Mrs. Albert West was the
scene of a very pleasant reception Saturday
afternoon, when the members of the Wo-
mems Literary Club and the Current Topic
Club were given an opportunity to meet
Mrs. lrma I. Jones, of Lansing, ex-presi-
dent and at present director of the Michigan
Federation of Women's Clubs. The recep-
ton was given by Mrs. West and Miss
Blanche Seeley.
The members of these clubs and other in
vited guests were received In the parlor by
Mrs. West, Miss Seeley, Mrs. w. M. Kill
patrick, president of the womeh's Literary
Club, and Mrs. 9. y. Williams, president
of the Current Topic Club. They were
then presented to Mrs. Jones by Mrs. L. e.
Gould.
When the introductions were over,
very interesting half hours paper was read
by Mrs. Jones, who discussed the present
club movement in way which told of
careful and thorough preparation. The
club idea has had very wide and rapid
grawth in the last fifty years. during which
time 1t has spread to every state in the
union. The points of weakness and the
defects as we'll as the advantages and
strength OF the movement, were both held
up in view. In discussing the various sub
jects especially suitable' for club work, es-
pecial emphasis was placed on local mat
ters-the Improvement of the schools, the
welfare of the public library, the carrying
on of kindergarten work, institution of ini-
>provement societies, etc., were mentioned
as worthy subjects. If the true ideal of
club work was continually kept In mind the
benefit to the community and to the homes
which make up that community could not
fail to be marked.
After the reading of the paper, refresh
ments were served, the guests being seated
at number of small tables In the dining
room and parlor, and having their wants
looked after by the Misses Dean, Satterly,
McKinnis. and Seeley. The company was
also favored with some most delightful
music by Miss Lena Gregory. To make
the occasion still more complete the rooms
were trimmed with profusion of gladiolas,
sweet peas, and nasturtiums, the work OF
some Of the younger ladies. The occasion
was most enjoyable one for all pres
ent.

A MUSICAL TREAT.
Delightful Entertainment at the Home of
A. e. Ferry, Wednesday Evening.

Delightful Entertainment at the Home of
A. e. Ferry, Wednesday Evening.
The pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. e.
Ferry was crowded Wednesday evening
with company Of music lovers, who were
there for rich musical treat, but who had
the experience of having their expectations
more than realized. The musical was given
by Mr.. and Mrs. Ferry to give their friends
an opportunity to hear their daughter, Miss
Mabel Ferry, once more before she returns
to her studies in the Detroit conservatory of
music.
The following program was carried out:
/. witches Frolic"-Caprice, Franz Behr
Misses Helen and Louie Duff.
q "Dance OF the Fairies" Bazzini
Miss Mabel Ferry.
g. "As the Dawn" Otto Cantor
Mrs. r. z. Travis.
T. "Liebs Traume, No g." Franz Liszt
Miss Helen Dun.
s. IA May Morning." L. Denza
Mrs. Travis.
"a. "Cradle Song" Hauser
b. "Village Gossip" Bazzini
Miss Ferry.
T. "Zigeunerweisen, Sarasate
Miss Ferry.
The playing of the Misses Duff was of
course of the highest order and was keenly
appreciated by the audience. who were al
most made eye witnesses of the ''frolic," so
realistic was the playing. Miss Duffs rend-
ering of Liszt's "Liebs Traume" was also
most effective and could not fail to call back
the dream of love In the minds of those who
listened.
Mrs. Travis pleased all by her selections
and was Obliged to respond to an encore
after singing "A May Morning." This she
did by singing humorous song, Nothing
Else to Do"
The great interest of the evening, how
ever, centered about Miss Ferry and her
we'll beloved violin. From the moment the
Dance of the Fairies" began until the last
strain died away she held the audience al
most breathless. She charmed them with
Hauser's "Cradle Song," delighted and
amused them with Bazzini's "Village Cos
sip," and pleased aud carried them away
with the "Zigeunerweisen" of Sarasate. At
forwards by special request she played Divide
Musin's "Mazurka," which is great favor
ite with her Owosso friends, who never miss
an opportunity to hear 1t.
Miss Ferry expects to return Monday to
Detroit to resume her studies for another
year. To do this she has refused several
very fiattering offers for the present year,
an action heartily approved of by her friends
who may well be pardoned for having higf
expectations for her. Her playing was fal
superior to much that is heard on the con
cert platform and might well be taken fol
that of one of the few acknowledged masters
OF the violin.
