Mrs. Herman Heldroyall entertained
their friends and number of guests.
The affair was brilliant one and
proved to be a delightful success.
The guests numbering about one
hundred and sixty assembled at the
hall door at eight O'Clock and were
met by the host and hostesses. After
formal introductions by the latter, to
hestrangers present, the guests entered
the hall and spent the next half hour
in greeting one another. The spacious
hall was beautifully and artistically
decorated in patriotic colors and pro-
fusions of cut and potted flowers.
Across the center of the room small
American flags had been arranged and
from this point as center streamers
of playing cards and ribbons had been
fastened so as to comprise number
of small arches.
Following the arrival of the last of
the invited guests delightful musical
and literary program, which had pre-
viously been arranged was carried out
The first number being and instru-
mental selection entitled ''La Fill
leisse," or "The Spinning Girl" by
Raft was given by Miss Grace Adair

PERMISSION, Miss Minnie Schoch gave
a delightful reading known as eau
drey'' taken from Mary Johnstown's
works. Miss Schoch is a recent gradu-
ate of the Cumnock School of Oratory
at Evanston, Ill. and her rendition
of this selection was greatly favored
by her audience. Her reading was
followed by another Instrumental Sc
lection by Miss Alma Marti post
graduate of the Boston Conservatory

"Berceuse' and was considered by
many as the finest selections on the
program. Mrs. e. T. Critchett then
delighted those assembled by a vocal

followed by Miss Margaret Schoch,
who recited ''The Stolen Sheep It

little girl was the recipient of many
compliments. At this point Mrs. G. G..

vocal solo "Angel Land" by Pinsuti
and at the conclusion of this number,
Mrs. A. W. Bingham and Miss Pfaen-
der rendered a fine piano duet, known
as the "Spanish Dances" by Mosz-
koWski. This selection should have
closed the evenings program but
owing to their ability as speakers the
Miss Minnie Schoch and Viola Schell
were requested to favor the audience
with readings. This was granted by
the young ladies, the former reciting
'"The Critical Situation'' and the
latter ''Imphm.'
