occurring. in our city In the past,
none were given on more elaborate
scale than was the charming violet
reception at the home of Mrs. M. ID.
Moore under the auspices Of the Art
and Thimble Club on last Monday
evening from seven until ten. Dur
ing the evening about two hundred
ladies called and paid their respects
to the ladies Of one Of Logan's charm
ing social organizations. For the
occasion the commodious residence
was prettily decorated, the drawing
room, parlors and reception hall
were draped with the National col
ors while distributed about the room
were profusion Of petted plants,
ferns and cut flowers whose fra
GRANGE permeated every corner, the
dining room was also handsomely
festooned with the National Colors
while In the centre of the large dim
ing table hugh mirror was placed
representing lake and heavily
banked around with violets, the
club colors, the whole Of which,
formed a unique panorama into
which IL one gazed she could see
depicted y pretty conglomeration
beautiful costumes and handsome
ladies moveing gracefully about the
rooms. Conspicuous among the dec
orations in the drawing room was a
large picture of the Mpine both be-
fore and after the fatal explosion.
In the dining room the Misses Helen
Pursell, Stella Strentz j essie Collins,
Emma Floyd and Mrs. II. j. Wood
worth of Nelsonville presided at the
refreshment tables and served the
guests with ice cream and cake.
AS each guest retired from the din
ing room she was presented with a
pretty sovenir of the evening, a but
tonaire of violets tied with violet
colored ribbon. Time and lack of
space prevents us from giving q de-
scriptiOn of the ladies costumes, all
we can say is that all the costumes
were pretty some Of them being quite
elaborate. The Queen City Orchestra
under the direction of Cap Friesner
was stationed In one Of the parlors
and discoursed sweet music during
the evening and added not little to
the pleasures Of the suspicious oc-
casion. According to information
from one of the ladies present we are
told that the ladies Of the Art and
Thimble club are IN the front rank
of Logan's social entertainers.
