Society Notes,

The Junias reception rendered to
the variods ladies' clubs of our city,
last evening, was one of the most
beautiful ever given in our city. 1t
was the FIRST large function given
since the reception rendered His
Excellency Gov. Bushnell about
two years ago when he was the
distinguished guest of the Logan
Bushnell club, and society showed
its appreciation of the hospitality
extended by attending in large
numbers. Two hundred Invitations
were issued and the regrets were
notably small. The handsome
lodge parlor of the 1. o. o. f. on the
third floor of the 1. o. o. F. Build
ing was ablaze with light where as
pretty group of charming hostess
es as ever graced a lady's parlor
stood with outstretched hand and
welcomed the throng of guests.
The lodge room parlor is one of the
most superbly appointed in the city,
eXquisitely furnished and is well
adapted for receptions on u large
scale, and last night its beauty was
enchanced by great quantities of
choice flowers, tropical plants,
erns and palms arranged artistical-
ly around the commodious hall.
The color effect from the different
colored lights were pleasing to the
eye. During the evening an ex-
cellent orchestra under the leader
ship of Mr.. "Cap" Friesner was
stationed at one end of the room
and discoursed sweet melodies to
the accompaniment of pleasant So
cial gossip of smiling promenaders.
In the receiving line were Mrs.
FL. r.. Harrington, Miss Myra
Brown, Miss Lucy Walker, and
Miss Mninetta McCray while scat
tered about the parlor. handsomely
gowned in evening dress were other
members of the club seeing to the
comfort of the guests of the even
ing. No attempt at an individual
description 0fthe costumes of those
present will be attempted, it would
be an utter possibility with our
meager understanding in the make
up of ladies' costumes, suffice it to
say, the ladies were exquisitely
gowned in evening dress, and pre-
sented bower of beauty as they
gracefully about gaeeting
each other and talking social non
sence.
Mrs. Herbert r. Harrington was
in very elegant and be-
coming evening costume of black
satin, cut decolate, floral trimmings.
Miss Lucy Walkers brunette
beauty showed to advantage in a
dainty gown of white organdie
over light blue silk with lace :
trimmings.
Miss Myra Brown was prettily ,
sowned in black silk skirt with |
light blue satin bodice, chiffron i
trimmings. A boquet of La France
roses gave vivid touch Of color
70 this creation of the modestes art.
Miss Menetta McCray was taste
'ully gowned in pretty toilet of \
light grey with corsage of brocad- !
I'd silk.
We must not forget to mention !
he Misses Ruth Rochester and =
Mary Gould who were stationed in -
he outer hall at the head of the
stairs to welcome guests and di-
ect the them to the cloak rooms.
