The record-union., 1899-11-19

On Tuesday evening last the Silver
Link Social Club gave It's nrst socia
dance of the season, for club members
only, and about thirty couples spent
very enjoyable evening.
| A number of friends of Professor p.
c. Atkinson gathered at the family res
idence last Friday evening, the occasion
being his gid anniversary. When the
customary surprise" had been effected,
| the guests, who had been so masked
| and gowned in white as to completely
conceal their identity, seated them
selves silently and grimly at the festal
| board At this juncture Mrs. Atkinson,
the hostess, addressed the assemblage,
explaining that this being the Pro-
fessors natal day she had invited
number of celebrities of national repu-
tation to do honor to the occasion, and
introduced as master of ceremonies the
1 "Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew,'' who later
in the evening proved beneath her dis
guise to be Mrs. E. w. Hale. The
POSTMASTER then called on Admiral
Dewey (Mrs. Eta ElliotD, Reuben
H. Lloyd" (Mrs. G.. A. JOhnsOn), DE
witt Talmage CMrs. e. T. CALVIN.
Bob Burdette" Mrs. Thomas ].
KirlS), MARK Twain" (Mrs NJ. S. Ham
mer), Marshall P. Wilder (Mrs. E. M.
Atkinson, "a sprite from the Garden
of Eden" (Mrs. c.. T. Noyes), 1.-THE
Sphinx (Mrs. A. A. Goddard), THAT
Old Sweetheart of Nine Mrs. D. A.
Lindley), who each in turn made re-
marks felicitous and humorous. 1t
might be said of these that all were
meritorious and amusing, but particu-
lar mention should be made of the
character of "Chauncey M. Depew," as
personified by Mrs. Hale, and that of
The Old Sweetheart" as depicted by
Mrs. Lindley. Both were excellent,
Mrs. Hale's being sustained with vi
vacity and brilliancy to the manner
! born, and Mrs. Lindley in makeup and
acting being so inimitably witty and
| true to life as to bring down the
house." while tears of laughter
streamed down the Professors face at
the ludicrous and accurate rendition of
the character. At the conclusion of
the entertainment masks were removed
and the guests sat down to bountiful
collation., at the conclusion of which the
| gentlemen present were called on and
each made appropriate remarks. The
| POSTMASTER then, on behalf of the
guests, presented Professor Atkinson
with a handsome set of silver-mounted
| ebony brushes. The recipient responded
feelingly. Following are the names of
! the guests: Mr.. and Mrs. E. W. Hale,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas J. Kirk, Mr.. and
Mrs. M. S. Hammer, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
M. Atkinson, Mr.. and Mrs. C. T. Noyes,

Mrs. George Stittson and her daugh-
ter Fife entertained few of their
friends on Friday evening at their resi-
dence near Oak Park. The parlors
were tastefully decorated with a pro-
fusion of smilax and cut flowers. Flu
chre, whist and other games were play
ed, handsome prizes being awarded
the winners. An elegant lunch was
| spread, which was partaken of with a
relish by all. Those present were: Mr..
