The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-01-18
N innovation in the way of en-
tertainment has been planned
at the Country Club for to-
night. Too many think of


~ night. Too many think of
the Country Club as exclu-
sively and hopelessly given over to golf
hence an evening of winter sports VIII
be enjoyed. A most delectable tobog-
gan has been constructed from the top
of the upper course which makes a
slide OF long distance down a thrill
Ing steep hill. There is always the de-
lightful element of uncertainty as to
whether you will land safely on the
lower side ofa the ravine, but up to
date everybody has landed safely and
the sport Is so fascinating that every
body likes to take the chances.
Then there are to be snow-shoe
races and fox and geese games and
other pleasurable attractions. There
will be huge bonfires lighting up the
toboggan course, and with the bright
moonlight it should be picture to be
remembered. The entertainment COM
mittee will serve hot lunch during
the evening and there will be blazing
logs in the great Fireplace and every
body will want to be there to enjoy the
long, beautiful evening.
Perhaps tho most attractive card
party ever given in this city was that
of yesterday afternoon, when Mrs.
Franklin Hensilaw entertained at
hearts" Her home on Clay avenue
which is one of the most artistically
beautiful in Scranton, was made bril-
liant in coloriug by many additional
decorative features. Large red hearts,
intermingled with sprays of green,
were suspended from the chandeliers,
and hung from the doorways between
the portieres. The tables. covered
with red CLOTH had for number mark
ers large gilt hearts, while the score
cards carried out the idea. Refresh
ments We're served in heart-shaped
shels.s
