 delightful party was given Thurs
 day evening by Burton A. Stillman a
 his home, the residence of his parents
 No. 275 Lombard street. Those presen i were mostly shopmates of MT. Stillmar
 and their lady friends and a very en-
 joyable evening was spent, with music
 song, recitations, a banquet and danc-
 ing adding to the evenings diversion
 A very amusing feature of the occasion
 was the rendering of new selections
 on MT. StDlmans Eidson phonograph
 in addition to various selections from
 the purchased records. One of the
 brightest and most successful of the
 new selections was from the record ob-
 tained from a capital recitation by John
 Bree, relative of Sentaor Bree. He
 recited "The Beautiful Scamp" with such clearness of enunciation and hap
 py style that the photograph repetition
 of it was perfect. The party separated
 at late hour much pleased with the
 evenings entertainment and wishing
 MT. Stillman many happy years.
