The State Red Cross and the mem

this city rendered a reception yesterday
afternoon at the Century Club on Sutter
street 10 the ladies who came from Ten
nessee TO extend a welcome to the re-
turning soldier boys Of that State The
affair Was purely Informal and its main
object was 10 bring the visitors and the

the arrangements were placed in the

There was no fixed programme for the
entertainment OF the guests from the
South A band from the Preside fur
nished music during the afternoon, while
the ladies chatted and partook OF the
dainty refreshments that had been pre-
pared for them There was an air of
Genuine heartiness and sincerity about
the whole thing that could not help but
impress the Tennesseeans. The whole af-
fair was more like ilreside gathering
than a semi-public reception.
Much credit Is due the ladies who had
the arrangements In charge for the com
plete success OF their undertaking. The
decorations. which called for much ad-
mlration. consisted OF streamers Of red
hearts strung on red ribbons and fes-
tooned about the walls. There were also
a number OF floral red crosses and con-
siderable display Of bunting. The Ten
nessee ladies were delighted with the
treatment they received.
