Delightful supper and Entertain

Delightful supper and Entertain
ment by the Ladies' Auxiliary.
The annual reception to the members
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton and their friends was given yester-
day afternoon and last night by the mem
bers of the Ladies' Auxiliary The en-
tertainment consisted of supper from
$50 O'Clock TO $3.50 and a surprise pro-
gramme of which the numbers interspesed
o'clock
The ladies had spared no pains to make
the entertainment as pleasant as posi-
bic and their efforts were richly rewarded
by the results. The reading room in
which the supper was served had been
tastefully and beautifully decorated with
bamboo vines and branches of holly and
Christmas berries which were arranged
on the chandeliers, molding, and pictures,
and which, grouped in huge punches
formed an attractive ornament for the
mantle vases.
The tables, of which there were ten,
each seating four persons, were models of
neatness and taste. The center or cake
table, was decorated with huge stream
ers of red that descended from the chan
delier to the four sides, harmonzing with
the color scheme of the room, white and
red.
The supper, which was. as usual, an ex-
cellent one, was enjoyed by over hun
dred men, members of the association and
their male friends.
1t was served by Misses Marie Dreese,
Katherine Dreese, Mamie Nichols. Carrie
Nichols. Mamie Coney Deborah Taggart.
Elizabeth Harmon, the Misses Riley,
Misses Hiliiard, Julia MIDDLETON and Mrs.

eker. G. p. Williams, Cassels, C. s. Rich
mond, ]. D. Murphy, j. G. Robertson and

The programme of entertainment was in
the form of a series of impersonated adj
vertisements, the plan of one of the ladies
in the association. They were carried out
by a number of ladies. gentlemen and
children and made quite a decided nit, as
well from their novelty as from their I'M
sdeubted artistic qualities.
The idea was to represent by tableau a
number of advertisements which either by
their frequency or striking originality
are quite well known, and then have
the spectators guess what each was in
tended to represent.
The advertisements and their mperson-
ators as follows:
Pllsbury's Flour, Master Calhoun Du-
senbury; Libby's Extract of Beef, R. L..
Hunt; Queen Quality Shoe, Miss Marion
Cooper; Bakers Chocolate, Miss Fanny
Howard; Deviled Ham, Mr.. j. R. Sweat

Gugei; Quaker Oats, Mr. Frank Black
wood and Mr.. Edwin Cubbedge; Lion
Brand Collar Little Miss Fulton; Low
ney's Chocolates, Miss NJ. Cooper; Knox s
Gelatine, Joe Osborne; Palmer Tire, Miss
Lucile Porter; Peariine, Miss Elizabeth
Harmon; Sen-Sen, Miss Eloise Thompson;
Regal Shoe Co.-blacks and russets
Messrs Osborne, Thompson, Mcleod ana
Silva.
Many of the characters were exception.
ally clever and evoked warm applause.
Among the best were those in which Miss
Marion Cooper, Miss Lucille Porter, and
Miss Fulton took part
The guessing contest was won by Mrs
A. Gordon Cassels, and Mr. N NJ Coney,
each Of which guessed correctly nine out
of the fourteen representations. Others
who guessed eight of them correctly,
were Messrs C. F. Patter, P. NJ. Ruskin,
c. E. Stanton, Jr., and w. B. Stillwell
