RECEPTION
A Fan eWell Reception Given
to Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton.

One of the most successful and en-.
| joyable receptions ever held in Sank
Centre, was the one rendered to Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. A. Stanton Wednesday
evening at the K. p. hall by Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. F. Cooper, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
C. Kelsey, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Ingram,
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Hogan, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. Dean, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. F.
Woodbury.. The list of invitations
was an extended one.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with cut flowers, plants, and palms.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henshaw and Mr..
Donart furnished the music which was
played at short intervals throughout
the entire evening, adding greatly to
the enjoyment of the OCCASION.
Mr.. Cooper met the guests at the
head of the stairs and conducted them
to the dressing room, where they We're
received by Mr.. and Mrs, Kelsey and
Mrs. Cooper, who after assisting in
the removal of wraps, passed them on
to the reception room. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ingram, Mr.. Woodbury. and Mrs.
Hogan, with Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton
welcomed the guests as they entered
the brilliantly lighted hall. There
was no formality but everything was
social and homelike, good cheer pre-
vailed. The handsome dresses of the
ladies, with the neat black dress suits
of the gentlemen made scene of
beauty. Mrs. Dean and Mrs. Wood
bury had charge of the dining room,
which was made beautiful with flowers
and drapings. A table arranged in a
very artistic manner occupied the
centre of the room. Mrs. E. A.
Richards and Mrs. Westbury sat at
opposite ends of the table, serving the
ice cream and cake to six young ladies
who passed it to the guests about the
room. There was nothing to mar the
harmony of the occasion.
The removal Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanton from our city, is loss in
deed. They have always been ready
to assist in every thing connected with
the interests of church, school, and
city. Their friends are numbered by
their acquaintances. The best of
wishes, for success and happiness and
health, will follow them wherever they
go.

ARE COLD WATER BATHS FASH
IONABLE?


ONE GENTLEMAN JUMPS INTO A WELL
One morning in the last cold snap,
when the thermometer was down be-
low zero, one Of our young men in the
eastern part of the town had an expe-
rience which we should think he would
hardly care to repeat. Going out to
the barn he found the water was not
running through the pipes as usual,
and of course had to look into the mat
ter to find the cause OF the trouble.
He found the we'll frozen over and
jumped in to Investigate further. We
think he went as far as he cared to, or
at any rate as far as was we'll for him,
for just about that time the ice broke
and there he was in cold water up to
his neck. 1t is fortunate he managed
to scramble out before the ice froze
again or we might have had sad end
ing to report to THE BEE.

CIRCLE.
You must never say Bill Words.
worth, but it is all right to say Tom
Moore because Tom Moore was every
body's friend. He was petted by Eng
lands upper crust until it is a wonder
that he did not lose his head and his
poetic genius as we'll. He sauntered
through America; but, like most for
eigners who Travelled in America in
the early days, he got a one-sided view
-of things because he hobnobbed mostly
with the Federalists. A very pleasant
evening was spent on Tuesday with
Tom Moore by the Literary circle, at
the home of Miss Scudder. Some 20
were present, Notwithstanding the Oft
heard remark that Everybody is sick
or caring for the SICK" The attend
ance was q plain index that the people
enjoy their literary pilgrimage under
Prof Ross Jewell as guide. Miss Pearl
Parsons gave a running sketch Of
"Lalla Rookh," Miss S. j. Scudder
read "By the Schuylkill" and one or
two other American poems, Mrs Otis
w. Barker read "The Harp That Once
through Tara's Halls" and Rev Me
Barker gave Prof John L. Stodda rd's
description of the Hill Of Tara and the
thoughts the scene suggested. Mrs
Henry M. Smith gave an excellent
sketch Of the life of Tom Moore. w.
P. Tomlin read .Byron's tributess to
Moore, in which Byron was somewhat
complimentary and somewhat not so
much so. Mrs A. J. Smith sang
"Maid of Athens" and Mrs S. F. 81.
Hewitt helped out further with the
musical end Of the program. 1t was q
very delightful evening, and the time
fled all too quickly away. The next
meeting will be held at the Congrega-
tional parsonage on Monday evening,
March 7, at 7.30 O'Clock, when Shelley
will be taken up.
