RECEPTION AND DANCE.
In Honor of Visitors to Bankers
Convention.

the De Soto last evening the visiting
bankers and the ladies who accom-
nanied them to the convention were
entertained at reception given in
their honor. A pretty setting was
given to the scene by the tall palms
which were placed all about the room,
rejecting themselves in the mirrors,
which line it's walls, and softening
the outline of the arches. With the
ladies of the Reception Committee in
their light evening gowns, grouped. 20
gether near the center of the room,
and the moving throng Of visitors, the
scene was a very charming one.
The members of the Receiving Com
mittee present were Mrs. Horace A.
crane, Mrs. William NJ. Davant Mrs.
7 H. Estill, Mrs. w. w. Gordon, Jr,
Mrs. F., D. Bloodworth. Mrs. George
/ Mills, Mrs. ]. ]. Dale, Mrs. Leroy
MYERS, Mrs. John NJ. Bryan, Mrs. ].
q Grady. Mrs. w. F. McCauley, Mrs.
charles S. Ellis and Mrs. Leopold Ad-
Ter.
After spending about an hour in the
reception room the guests were invited
TO go into the dining room, which was
cleared for dancing, and here for their
pleasure had been arranged
delightful programme. After everyone
was comfortably seated there was mu-
sic by Icons orchestra, and a process
sion of little folks in fancy dress, pu-
nils of Miss Marguerite Suits dancing
school, entered through the big doors
and passed up the long room. The ap-
ulause that greeted their first appear
ance grew more and more enthusiastic
as the numbers succeeded each other.
The first was the minuet, which was
danced by Miss Mildred Jerger, Mas
Ter Lamar Baker, Miss Eloise Grady,
Master William Harry Miss Velma
Nelson. Master Jerome Sullivan, Miss
sara Bacon and Master Carl Suits
all very cunning figures, the boys in
knee breaches and long-tailed coats,
the girls in lowered gowns, and wear
ing very imposing white wigs. AS soon
as these little people disappeared, Mas
tiers Averill Crane and Alan Mcdonnell,
dressed in white and blue MILDLY suits,
cid the Fishers Hornpipe" most
cleyerly. The last special dance was
the Sextette from "Florodora," which
was very charmingly given by Miss
Agnes Simmons, Master Alan McDon-
ell, Miss Annie Jones, Master Averill
Crane, Miss Cornelia Vaughn, Master
Lawrence Semon, Miss Edith Thorn
ton, Master Richard Jewett, Miss Isa-
bel Jones, and Master Ev-
erett Bishop. AS the last
curtsey was made and the last note
sung, there appeared two very tiny
"Florodora" people, Miss Mildred Jer-
ger and Master Carl Suits, who were
captivating in their grown-up parts.

boys made their entrance Mr.. LEVEL
Ign Hillyer of Macon. who is visiting
Mr.. Horace Crane. was induced to give
a recitation, which added something
novel and wholly delightful to the
evenings entertainment. His first Sc
lection was a humorous poem, entitled
When Bryan Came to Butte" which
he delivered with a dramatic fire that
was telling. This was so warmly ap-
plauded at every pause and at its
finish, that Mr. Hillyer was persuaded
to give one more recitation, and for
this selected that inifnitable bit of
American hrGnor The Prologue" from
the 'AGtocrat of the Breakfast Table"
BTmming as it is with fun and
truth hidden under a thin guise of
humor, it lest nothing in Mr.. Hillyer's
hands. but seemed to develop a hum
dred unlocked for opportunities for
laughter.
There was some general dancing
later in the evening, and the guests
