WITH DANCE AND SONG.
The Story of ''AIice in Wonderland,
Was Told

Was Told.
A house full of happy little people
greeted the first production of Alice
in Wonderland" yesterday afternoon
at the theater. 1t was not an audience
over critical or hard TO please. and to
watch the children sitting close to-
gether in excited groups, climbing upon
their mothers laps, or crowding to-
gether in the boxes. for better sight
of the gay show, was almost as pleas
ant as watching the children on the
stage.
The opening scene, when the fairies
were discovered surrounding Alice, was
one of the most charming of the piece,
and the tiny dancers in their white
spangled frocks and big flower wreaths
made a lovely picture. If sometimes
the ittlest fairies got lost in the may
dance. and had to look this way and
that in a mighty hurry to see what
pretty trick came next, it was not to be
wondered at in such evidently young
denizens of fairyland. Those who took
part were Misses Edith Dawson, Hor-
tense Treann, Miriam Robider, Carrie
Clay. Ogarita Hymes, Alma Brown, Ag-
mes Tison, Jessie Mccall, Mary Cum

FIvE-HANDED EUCHRE.

Very charming in decoration was the
euchre party given yesterday after
noon by the Misses, Won Gundell, and
with pretty novelty in those small
appointments of the card tables that
make up such an attractive part of
society's card playing.
The use of grapes in the, decorations
gave the leading idea of the enter
tainment. A mimic. grape arbor was
erected over the bay window in the
south drawing-room, and from it hung
punches of make-believe grapes, pur-
pie and green. The chandeliers in both
rooms were covered with green vines,
and in these were fastened many
lunches of the pretty fruits, while
above the pictures were caught sprays
of wild smilax. In charming relief to
the prevailing green were vases or
white hyacinths and carnations, max
ing the air sweet with their presence
Five-handed euchre was played. Inc
score cards were in the design of
grapes and grape leaves done IN wa.
ter color, and the games were marked
by single grapes tied on with little
green ribbons, blue grapes being USED
to distinguish the lone hands.
Mrs. Charlesworth Hunter won the
lone-hand prize, a pair of grape scls-
sors. The first prizes was a set of
after dinner coffee spoons. II was
won by Miss Mabel Stoddard. instead
OF, cutting for the consolation prizes. IN
the usual manner, another pretty con-
ceit was introduced. A basket niied
with grapes with a rabbits loot MD
den among them was passed around
and each guest chose a bunch. MISS
Florence Olmstead drew the lucky
token and received the prize, a basket
Of candied fruit tied with ribbons,
through which was slipped bunch Oh
