The return party given by the gentle
men friends of the Felkstone Club, in
the town hall, Thursday evening, was
equally as great success as the Folk
stone partycof a few weeks ago. This
IS saying a great deal, as the FolSstone
Club is an organization Of young la
dies, and party of their creation is as
hard to equal as it is impossible to ex-
eel, but the gentlemens party of last
evening was truly the equal. The hand
some town hall was vision OF lowell
ness, and when the first strains of the
sweet music of Blanchard's full orches-
ira. reached the ears of the assembled
young people, no one could help being
thankful that they had been permitted
to make one of that joyous gathering.
Southbridge was not alone represented,
as many out of town people had eager
ly accepted invitations to be present.
Dancing was the principal amusement,
although there were tables arranged
in one portion of the hall for whist, If
one wished to play. The order of dance
was a, beautiful little creation in white
silk, and. printed in gold leaf, an affair
gotten up more for a favor than simply
order of IS dances pleasantly arranged.
Ices and sherbets were served during
the evening, and there was brief inter-
mission at the middle of the program,
when these were eagerly sought. Dane
ing was kept up until l o'clock.
The many words of praise spoken by
the Folkstone Club of their return party
amply repaid the committee for their
work. The committee in charge were
Claiming NJ Wells, John E, Paige, Al
bertaCs Clarke and j. Cheney Wells.
ROYAL GOOD TIME.

the guests Thursday evening of their
popular leader, Linus b. B. Colt, and
they passed very pleasant evening.
The choir numbers IA, and soon after
their arrival at the hotel, they were ush-
cred into private dining room, which
was beautifully arranged. The entire
effect noticed upon entering was very
beautiful one in green and white, even
unto the handsome souvenir hand
painted menu cards. The floral
decorations both of the room and the
table were entirely of white pinks and
foliage. After full justice had been
done the banquet, the company repaired
to the parlors, where the genial host,
Mr.. Colt entertained his guests the bali
song so successfully that the hour Of
departure came altogether too soon.
