The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1901-06-22
Entertainment at Stone Chapel.


Several weeks previous to the 9Th instant,
the Ladies' Mite Society of Stone Chapel is
sued to their many friends invitations to
Stocking Social" to be given by them at
the hospitable home of one of their members,
Mrs. Edwin Stoner. About 7 clock in the
evening the guests began 10 arrive and from
that time until o'clock persons could be
seen coming from all directions; namely,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Unionville, West
minister, New Windsor and Winfield. On
nearing this beautiful home, whose exterior
and interior were at the entire disposal of
all present, handsome spectacle met the
conner, the entire house was Illuminated.
Chinese and Japanese lanterns and other
brilliant lights lent their beauty to the lawn,
which was also decorated with stockings of
every conceivable design and color, the whole
memorative to all lovers of the beautiful of
fairy land, or a midsummer Night Dream"
At the gates every one was cordially well
coined and ushered to table laden with ice
cream, cake and Strawberries. After all had
been served abundantly in this manner sweet
strains of music from organ and violins caused
the entire company to be seated to enjoy a
rare musicale treat, consisting of program
rendered by the Society and their friends. To
say that this was well rendered does not in
any manner tell how well each one acquitted
himself, and only those who listened to it can
know just how good it was. However, we
will give you the program below and you can
form some conjectures as 10 its rendition. 1t
has been said that ''Pope" to be appreciated
must be read in fragments; not so with this
program to be appreciated it must be seen
and heard as whole; no one part would have
been complete without the other. so perfect
was its organization, and the whole termed
very successful Stocking Social"
