Mr.. Harry c. Peckham, the well-known
parlor entertainer, of New York, gave
a delightful series of monologues. Mrs.

Mrs. Willard in receiving.
The programme was made up of
mOnologue, mimicry, song and story.
The imitation of the phonOgraph was
one of the best things given and was
highly enjoyed.
The rooms We're lavishly decorated
by Clark, the dining room being espe-
cially effective in white and red inter-
mingled with rich foliage of tropical
plants. An avenue of palms graced
the hallway and staircase. The lovely
Oriental room on the third floor was
used as a smoking room.

The managers OF the Florence Mis-
sion held their first meeting in the spa
cious new home on Harrison avenue

pied for its first week.

ty dollars to endow such light. pretty

furnished three rooms. Several friends
have also furnished beds. Among these
are: Mrs. W. S. Diehl. Mrs. c. w. Mat

At a recent meeting of the New
Years BAH committee several muiters
of importance pertaining to the last
ball were sctted and the idea of Civ
ing a large ball next year was thor
oughly discussed.
owing to the great amount of both
time and money required to give a
dance OF such proportions as the one in
the Lyceum last New Years eve, the
committee was not in favor of holding
such large dance. 1t was finally de-
Cided, however, that the new commit
tee appointed should decide the ques-
ton of how, when and where to give
the annual ball that for ten wears has
been the representative society event
of this city.
!. II. Brooks, T.. c. Fuller and Worth
ington Scranton were appointed to take
the places so ably filled by the retiring
members, James Blair, jr., l.. II. Fuller
and r. s. Fuller. The first three, with
p. B. Belln and ]. NJ. Boies, will COM
pose the next years committee. This
new committee met at the residence of
| Colonel II. NJ. Boics on Monday even
| ing for the election of officers and to
formulate plans for the dance during
| the holidays. j. NJ. l3oies was elected
chairman, F. c. Fuller, secretary, and
j. II. Brooks treasurer. p. II. Belin
and Worthington Scranton, the ether
members of the committee, were pres

AS the popular sentiment has been
much in favor of at least one large
dance during the holidays, it was final
ly decided to give a dance on Monday
evening, January >, 1899, that would
| eclipse If possible, all others previous
ly given and for this reason steps have
been taken to procure options on the
several places where it was thought
such a ball could be given. Owing to
the difficulties occasioned by holding
the ball in the theatcr several of the
young society people have been hoping
that the new armory scheme might
take some definite shape, but it is hard
| ly possible or probable that a building
| could be erected in time for a dance
during the holidays. The Scranton
Bicycle club house and the hoard of
trade rooms have been suggested hut
each has it's lacking features.

be known by the old name The Bach

ploye of the Traction company who

tion of it was broken. He gave il a
jerk so that it would not fall on any
one but it happened to strike Mrs.
Keator in its descent
DIR. G. d. Murray testified that the in
jury to Mrs. l<eator's eye is not per-
manent. 1t can be corrected. S. II.

This Morning.

The diagram of reserved seats for the
Home concert opens at the box office

tained so many thoroughly educated
