SOCIETY EVENTS.
Reception at the Clark Home-Wedding
There Today.
The elegant home of DR.. and Mrs.
Andrew CLARK, in the West Side addi-
ton, was the scene of a most delight
full gathering Monday evening when
Doctors Andrew and Harriet Clark
gave a reception to their many friends
in this city. The evening was a
beautiful one, the wind, which had
blown furiously during the day, hav-
ing subsidized. The entire house was
prettily and Hastily decorated, the
ferns, smilax and evergreen used, pro-
ducing a very pleasing effect. The
reception roo and parlor were be-
decked with clusters of pink and white
carnations and evergreen, these
beauties appearing upon the staircase,
piano, chandeliers and lace curtains.
The library, where the wraps were re-
moved, was also resplendent with car
nations. The refreshment room, off
the parlor, was charming with it's dec
orations of the beautiful longstemed
American Beauty roses, in the rich
dark red. These were placed in large
vases upon the tables, combined with
sprays of the sword fern. Ropes Of
smilax were draped from the chan
delier in the center Of the room to the
four corners. .
Upon entering this pleasant home
the guests we're greeted in the 1ecep-
ton room by Mr.. and Mrs. Clark,
Miss Maud Whaley and Mr.. Frank
Young. Mrs. J. B. Elliott assisted in
entertaining the guests and found
places for them at the tables in the re-
freshment room, where Misses Birdie
Calhoun and Jane Pitcher, Mesdames
Elliott, James J. Mccormick, Phil
Reece, Burton, Gerald Panton, Por-
tus Baxter and T. G. Armitage presid
ed at the two tables, where ice cream,
cake and coffee were served. The
music, which was furnished by Mrs.
pianist, MI. Charles Whit
ney, violinist and Mr.. Loring, mando-
lin, was delightful, pleasing every n
and makig conversation easy. The in
vitations which were issued about two
weeks ago, indicated that the reception
would be held from 7:3O to II p. NJ,
and during the entire time people
were coming and going at intervals.
It was without doubt a most joyous
occasion, being held, as it were, as a
reception for Miss Maud
Whaley, sister of Mrs. Clark, who is
to be married this morning to MI. J..

here Monday, and was present at the
The past three weeks have been
very complete with society events and
they will likely be followed by an
equally as complete a season until
February 20, when Lent begins and
practically takes a vacation for
40 days. The events just passed have
been among the most enjoyable and
entertaining of any ever held, being
dances, birthday parties, receptions
and weddings. The weather could not
have been more suspicious for the
many events, being just like the usual
fall weather which prevails here. It
is hardly likely that its equal will be
seen again this winter and those who
took advantage. of it to entertain are
congratulating themselves.
