Progressive upper la Mount az usei
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The Progressive Supper given by
the Mount Carmel Book club last Fri
day evening was one of the most de-
lightful of this clubs social affairs
The members rejoiced that the good
weather with which they have invar-
iably been favored was not wanting on
this occasion, as a storm would have
been ruinous to the project. 1t is
rarely that a company of sixty men
anu matrons with some maidens and
bachelors. undertake to eat supper by
walking mile on a winters night,
stopping at six different homes to par
take of a course at each place. But
when a bright member from Michigan

carried out by the Book club. The

the home of Mrs. and the Misses Swift,
where they We're charmingly served
with boUillon and saltines. The din
ing room lighted with a myriad candles
made a handsome picture with its
shining glass and china. The company
then walked for nearly half mile to
Dr. Joslins artistic home The snow
Il lad to
see the blazing fires on the open
hearths, as we'll as the fried oysters,
pickles and Water-cress which awaited
them, served by Mrs. Joslin and the
Misses Joslin, assisted by Mrs. Robert
Sanford.
Another plunge into the wintry
night, and a short walk brought the
party to Leverett Dickerman's we'll
known homestead, where Misses Emma
and Laura, assisted by Mrs. Lyman
Bassett and the Misses Bassett, made
everyone happy with crisp croquettes,
French peas and bread sandwiches.
Then came salads at Mrs. Arthur
Woodruff's, who had assisting her Miss
Helen Woodruff. The wide parlors
lighted by the clear, beautiful radiance
of acetylene gas made this home par
ticularly attractive A few minutes
more and the party paused at John
Dickerman's. where the open fire was
a welcome offset to the lemon ice and
cake which was served by Miss Caro-
Ign Dickerman and Mrs. Homer futile,
assisted by Mrs. Friend Peck and Mss

Another walk of a quarter of mile
in the bracing air made quite welcome

generous Fireplace, and the hot coffee,
waters and cheese happily concmded
decidedly novel repast. This being the
last course, the company here relaxed
into social enjoyment before bidding
adieu to this Progressive Supper of
three hours duration-long enough for
quite respectable appetites to form in
the intervals between the courses. The
menu was written on ordinary shipping
tags as befitted travellers, and bore an
appropriate quotation for each course.
The sixty guests vending their way
from house to house, mostly by twos
and threes, made gay procession
nearly a quarter of a mile long, and
Well-filled the car which bore many of
them back to the city.
