entertainment by this club that one
would think all avenues bad been
exhausted but it was Jeff for Mrs.
Groce to treat her guests TO a high
class musical. The numbers were
as follows and were rendered by
home talent with two or three ex-
ceptions:
Ladies' quaftette, "The Sweetest
Song Misses Bishop, Rogers,

Piano solo--Miss West.
Reading-Miss Sims.
Vocal solo, without Thee
Miss HaIbert.
Ladies' quartette, Coming Thro'
the Rye Misses Bishop, Rogers,
Boone and Mrs. Leeper.

Evidences of real enjoyment were
shown by the attention of the list
e eners. The very atmosphere
seemed laden with harmony. Miss
Halbert was called back and sang
"Annie Laurie to the delight of
all. Handherchiefs were much in
evidence while Miss Sims imperson-
ated the boot-black Of the "slums' =
she left much food for thought IN
our minds and hearts. AT the con
clusfon Miss Buchanan on the vio-
lin, accompanied by Mrs. Small on
the plane, played the ehornses to
eight familiar airs, such as "Star
Spangled Banner Dixie 'Old
Black joe etc. The programs dis
trihuted we were told To listen to
the music and fill the blanks in the
musical incident, told In original
blank verse by the hostess. Mrs.
r. A. Ferris was the recipient OF the
dainty favor, a burnt wooden plaque.
Miss Buchanan, Mrs, Small and
Mrs. Buchanan each received SOU
venirx. Refreshments were angel
cake, ice, salted almonds and mints.
Misses Louise and Halle GroceI
assisted their mother In charm
ing manner and many were the
words of praise for these.
| The house was decorated In wild
srnflax with here and there palm or
| fern.
The dining table was a perfect
study of crimson carnations. These
graceful favorites met yonr view IN
every direction. From bower of
green In the hall the ever enjoyed
nectar was dispensed by Miss Hal
bert and Mrs. Simpson.
| Ia the evening about sixty young
people were entertained IN honor of
| Miss Halbert tn the home. As the
guests arrived they were conducted
TO the dressing rooms and disguised
10 theit surprises and a card was
pinned on each with name OF sope
noted person, as Adam aud Eve,
Romeo and Juliet, George and
| Martha W Washington, and then they
were brought into the pariors. As
the guests arriving met those spooks
on the stairs much merrimentkpread
all over the house, and when they
| Fgegun TO hunt their partners 1t was
very amusing, for Eve" herself
did not know she was Eve" and
could not be told except by descrip-
tive remarks. Think Of Cleopatra
asking George Washington" who
am /? And the childish Juliet
aceosting Jacob After the miss
ing partners were found the time
was most pleasantly passed In CON
versation, music, and the many
past times that the young and happy
only can devise. Mr.. and Mrs.
