has crossed the society portal and Mr..
and Mrs. George A. Yule very magni-
ficently entertained Kenosha society
at patriotic party Thursday evening.
The house was one mass of patriotic
decorations and all about the rooms
the flag of Cuba and old glory were
|intermingled with flowers and palms
until the beautiful residence resembled
patriotic summer garden.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yule received their
friends in the reception hail. The
feature of the evening was parlor
lecture by Mrs. Sheldon, of Chicago,
given in the large dance hall, which
also had taken on patriotic airs in its
decorations of flags and colonial pict
ures.
The subject of the lecture was
Dolly Madison" and the speaker
discussed the character of the fascina
ting woman in bright and interesting
manner. In her talk she divided the
life of Mrs. Madison into four periods,
and discussed her first as the beautiful
young lady and later as the attractive
young widow of Philadelphia law
yer. Following came discussion Of
Mrs. Madison, the wife of the presi
dent, and the life and inspiration of
social affairs in Washington. The
decline of Dolly Madison when she
became known as the Dowager Dora
thea, " after the death of her husband,
was most interestingly told by Mrs.
Sheldon, and in all her little character
sketch of one of the most famous wo-
men in history showed her in new
light and brought out prominently
those traits OF generosity, far reaching
sympathy and great mental power of
this, the most beautiful character of
the American woman in history.
After the lecture the company was
amused by national airs played by
Prof. Jacoby and Miss Butler, and a
beautiful piano solo by the latter,
which showed the rare ability of the
pianist. Keck Wheeler added much o
the enjoyment of the evening by sing
ing several solos.
During the evening refreshments
we're served in the dining room, which
was decorated in red, white and blue
chiffan, together with asparagus ferns,
carnations and American beauty roses.
Kenosha society was we'll repre-
sented and large number of out OF
town guests were also present.
Birthday Party.
Wednesday was Miss Sadie Carrs
birthday and as she is one of the
! leading members of the Carnation
club the members of that young organ
ization made her birthday the occasion
for making their formal bow to the
social world by giving one of the most
enjoyable social parties ever held in
Central Music hall. The party was a
surprise on Miss Carr, and as such it
was a complete success and the young
lady was completely taken captive by
more than two hundred friends, when
a friend decoyed her into the hall on
the pretense of getting some books
she had left there. AS soon as Miss
Carr had regained he1 equilibrium she
was taken home in carriage and soon
returned and assisted in entertaining
Ter friends in very charming manner
This, the first social party of the new
club, proves that it will be quite fac,
tor in the younger society of Kenosha
The evening was spent in dancing
music being furnished by Jacoby's or
chestra.
At eleven o'clock the room was
cleared of the dancers, and the mem
bers of the club served very delightful
refreshments.
The members of the club we're easily
distinguished, as each of them wore
white and red carnatiOn and large
badge of flag ribbon. The members
of the club are:
Misses Krebs, Morrison, Zievers,
Carr, and Messrs. Riel, Cameron, Min
hermann, Tulley, Workman, Swift,
