Triumph For the Womah'S Club.

The reception given last night blythe
Woman's club to the Teachers con-
We n ion, wes q very pleasant affair. In
the first place the court house lawn
made a cool, softly lit scene for the oc-
oasion, the receiving ladies were most
gracious hosteeses, and there was good
music for every moment OF the evening.
The grounds were lit by q dozen or
80 big arc lights and several. nultlsu'
des of Chinese lanterns festo0ned along
the paths and from tree to tree and
about the building. The lsmonadea
and ices were served under big Jap
ansse umbre las which were also hur
with the bright lanterns.
| The reception committee awaited
their guests along the walk from the
m sin entrance aud every stranger va
welcomed and introduced about and
made almost as much of as If he were
the only guest and the whole reception
was for him.
The committee of teachers who re-
ceived the guests at the gate and in
troduced them to the reception cem-
nittse of the Woman's club we're: Miss
Jones, Mrs Bailey. Miss Gates, Miss
Trum bull, Miss Fitzpatrick. and Miss
Dix
The reception committee of the club
was, Mesdames Rawlings, Ramsey,
Allen. Wright, Chase, Conklip, Clark ,
Merchant, Cooper, and Westcost.
Mayor Magoffin received the guests
with the ladies aud was very bospit
able and made everybody feel vel
come.
The young ladies who gave the
concert the evening before were in
vited TO be of the receiving party
and many were in attendance, and
Professor Putnam and Professor
Roach helped the good time along.
Mrs McKionell; Miss Porcher, Miss
Log an, Mrs Halle, Miss Smith, Mrs
Williams, and hosts of 9th ers among
the club mem bers assisted about the
grounds Ia welcoming and entertain
ing the guests. Many of the club men,
bers are out of the city but almost all
of those who are here united in the
efforts to make the evening SUCCESS.
Every effort was made TO let every
visiting teacher know that the recap
tion WAS for ali of the teachers. and if
anyone was overlooked In the is5uing e
of sbe cards or ia the entertainment Of
the guests last night, it was no fault of
/ the club women who have been indefet-
| igable from the 6rst plans for the
affair, to the last goodbyes and hand
shakes at midnight last night.
It was wonderfully good idea to
have the reception in the court house
park. 1t would have been bore to
have had to be in the glare and heat OF
q crowded room, but under the n!gh ht
skies, with the cool grass under foot
and the free fresh bi eezes of the night,
1t was delight.

pet corps doing their part. The trum-
pet corps boys went up to one of the
upper balconies and played their ring
ing, spirited trumpet calls. They are
jolly lot of boys and needed no recep-
tion committee or refreshment COM
mittee to help them to a good time.
They found plenty of girls ready to

| Towards the end of the evening the
Chihuahua band played the Mexican
Rational air which was loudly applaud

complete without the Mexican element
and the club women of Ell Paso say
