A SOCIAL EVENT.

A SOCIAL EVENT.
The Methodist young people began
series OF monthly sOcials, last Friday
evening, and if that occasion was an
earnest of those to follow there is
promise of some very jolly evenings in
the future. A very pleasant company
was in attendance and judging on gen
eral principles all had a good time.
The young ladies proved conclusively
that they were as capa BILE, if not more
SO, as their elders of preparing a sup
per to please an epicurean taste. In
houSeWifely art their training was in
evidence. After supper the company
were entertained with a character dia-
logue, The Stepney Barbers" The
cOmplalSant proprietor of the tOnsOri-
al establishment was finely carried out
by Ernest NOrthrop, who was as much
at home as if to the manor born. G..
Cutter took the part of a young socie-
, ty gent wishing his hair cut and per-
sOnated the character true to life.
Harry Morgan, as Uncle Ben, colored
assistant, was decided success both
: in makeup and dialect. His efforts
! to help his employer land himself also)
and his ludicrOus blunders kept those
; looking on convulsed with laughter.
Little Gertie Craft gave a short reci-
, tatlon in her usual quaint style. We
only wished it was longer but we have
promise OF more next moon. Keep an
eye on Stepney items and do not over
look the New England supper which
is already Undertaking..
