The Members Gave a Reception to
Their Wives and Sweethearts.
The Orangeburg correspondent Gf
the News and Courier says the widely
discussed Business Mems Club" re-
ception realized the highest anticlpa-
tions. Last Friday night there was
q gay assembly OF representative men
and women at the hall Of the well
equipped cllb rooms. The doors were
opened by fairy hands in the persons
of little Misses Mignon Lowman and
Winfred Doyle, attended by Master
Wilmot Parlor as Cupid. Upon en-
tering the reception room attention
was quickly arrested by the clear and
inspiring words: welcome, wives
and sweethearts." It was veritable
valentine affair and ''Cupids bower"
knew no care that night. In the two
front rooms were arranged twelve
tables, where whist was enjoyed for
an hour or more During the game
Cupid passed dates to the gentlemen
in one OF which was penny. With
light step the fairy dispensed the
same to the ladies.
The lucky dates fell into the hands
of DR.. It. G. Doyle and Mrs. E. n.
Scoville, who received a comic and
useful valentine respectively.
& The fairies punched the games on
dainty heart-shaped valentines. At
the calling of the game it was found
that their gracious favor had fallen
upon Mrs. Hazard Reeves and Mr..
Shannon Lining. Mrs. Fletcher Fairy
and Mr.. Julius Ahrens received the
BOBBY prizes. The consolation prize
was won by Mrs. T. G. Doyle.
That the prizes we're valuable goes
without saying, for men do nothing
by halves.
The decorations were in thorough
keeping with the conception OF the
entertainment. The fastoons of red
ribbons and hearts were offset by trail
ing vines Of smilax and numerous red
candles.
At IL o'clock the doors to the din
ing room were opened. From chande-
liers to the walls of the large room
were draped in REQ ribbons to which
were attached hearts Of every con-
ceivableSiZe.
Amidst a shower of red ribbon in
the centre Of the table hung Cupid.
Conspicuous at each end Of the table
were two large hearts pierced with
arrows. Double hearts were pined to
the walls as curtains. The white
table drapery was festooned with
hearts strung on rel ribbon. Red flow
ers filed numerous vases on the table
and banks of the same lay on the red
covered mantel. The oyster cocktails
rested upon heart-shaped devices,
salad was served in the same, hearts
appeared on the doilies, and the happy
hearts Of the guests Shone brightly IN
their faces.
The favorS were silver spoons, bear
ing in the gold bowls the inscription
"B. N. G. 1904"
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the various committee, whose in
defatigable work made this entertain
ment 50 eminent success.
