description of some typical woman of

! ton
Mr.. Justin Thatcher, Miss Hattie
Barton Kerlin, Mr.. Frederick Mac
murray, are artists each and every one of
them; Mi Thatcher as vocalist, Miss
Merlin as pianist, Mr.. Macmurray as
violinist; and a more delighted audience
never listened to more charming pro-
gram than they gave at the Opera House
Monday. evening. Everything Mr..
Thatcher sang was encored and every en-
core was richly deserved. If any num-
Der was better than another, preference,
perhaps, might be given to the "Holy
City and "Ah, So Pure" Miss
Kerin in her line was quite as good as
Mr.. Thatcher in his, and Mr.. Macmur-
ray was as good as either. There was
never anything sweeter, softer, more
beautiful, than his rendition of the "Old
Kentucky Home" The browning
beauty of the whole program was that
the numbers, while classical, difficult
and artistic enough, were selected for
the music there was in them, and not
merely to display the skill and technique
of the performers In the Lyceum
course Columbia purposes to have next
season, this attraction has already been
spoken for.
Among the many beautiful receptions
in Columbia this season. none have ex-
celled that given yesterday afternoon by

large reception rooms and hall were
thronged with callers The interior OF
the home presented strikingly ant 5tic
appearance, the decorations being oi
pure white; large clusters of lilies and
roses were placed in positions which
would best reflect their beauty and
adorn the apartment they graced, anC
: groups of smaller flowers also sheC
4 abroad their beauty and fragrance. The

attired in handsome reception gowns O.

of the occasion was tho delicious lunch
con served during the evening in tn
4 dining-room The decorations her
n were very effective, the most elaborat
of which was the centre table. Fou
u large candelabra ornamented the cor
J. ners and in the centre there stood al
immense bunch of crimson tulips, form
q ing a surprisingly beautiful and glowing
mass of colors.

rare beauty, and was thoroughly en-
