Delightful Affair at the Sixteenth
Street Church.

The ladies of the Sixteenth street
Lutheran Church gave a social last
evening that was a rare treat to the
people who went through the rain to
hear it. These people are noted for
the pleasure afforded at their socials,
but hardly ever did they give more
profit and enjoyment than on last even
ing. Every recitation, reading, vocal
and instrumental solo was excellent
given with good taste and showed
much culture.
After the programme, refreshments
were served, and all entered heartily
into social enjoyment. The room was
chaImingly decorated with flags and
roses until it seemed a patriotic fairy
land. It was late hour when the last
of the audience left the church, and all
were loud in their praises of the even
ing's enjoyment. Following is the
programme:
Piano solo, Miss De Puy; life of Long
fellow, Miss Eunice Shepherd; Song Of
