GUESTS ENTERTAINED
A Brilliant Reception at Handsome
New Residence Of the Oreenes
on College Hill.

One of the largest and most charming
afternoon receptions that Ritzville's So
ciety has ever witnessed was that given
by Mrs. N. H. Greene and her daughter
Mrs. Matte E. Martin, at the magnifi-
cent new home of the former, on College
hill, last Friday afternoon. One hundred
and fifty invitations were responded to
with few regrets. Promptly at two
o'clock the guests commenced arriving.
and until five the home was one scene of
beauty and grandeur, and this city
had never before the occasion to
bring together in one gathering so many
handsome ladies and beautiful gowns.
The occasion being so near the birthday
of our noble hero and first President of
the United States the national colors
were brought forth in profusion and
grand display throughout the entire
home. AS the guests entered the re-
ception hall, their eyes caught the
beautiful decorations of flags, bunting,
palms and rubber plants all through hall
and stairway. Here they were greeted
by Miss Anna L. Olson and Miss Minnie
Meyer, and ushered into the pretty par
Tor, where red. white and blue ribbons
were draped from ceiling to chandelier.
Cut flowers and potted plants were here
in profusion. Here Mrs. Greene and
Mrs. Martin assisted by Mrs. w. H.
Tuggle welcomed the guests. From
here they entered the library where over
the mantel rested George Washington's
picture beautifully draped with flags.
This room was dream. Here the guests
we're received by Mrs. c. E. Shipman
and Mrs. Frank Stuart. Atthe large plate
glass window was arranged side table
where fruit punch was served by Miss
Laura Davenny. Here we were escorted
to the dining room which was a scene of
beauty with its elegant decorations and
magnificent conservatory of potted
plants. Together with the tea table of
cut glass and silver presided over by Mrs.
w. Harry Martin and Mrs. Charles o.
Greene and the last hour and a half by
Mrs. w. H. Davenny and Mrs. Christina
Bennett assisted by Miss Sadie Day and
Miss Ollie Meyers was superb. As the
guests departed they congratulated Mrs.
Greene upon having such a beautiful
home and wished her many long years
to enjoy it. Those who received invita-
