A large audience assembled to hear
the song recital given by the pupils OF
Miss Read, assisted by piano pupils
Of Professor Guerne, on Tuesday even
ing at Hardin College! A most delight
full and highly appreciated programme
was carried out, the Glee Club especial
ly proving very popular with the au-
dience. 1t is not to be wondered
that Hardin College has such a full at
tendance each year when n notes
the almost perfection to which the
pupils in both vocal and instr umental
music attained through the excellent
knowledge ard training OF the in
structors.
On Wednesday afternoon, a very
elegant reception was given by Mes

at the home Of Mrs. Warren Harper.
The guests were met at the door by
Mrs LeslieLe zee and thence ushered into
a hall most beautifully banked with
sweet scented syringa, where the re-
ceiying party stood. Besides the
ladies above mentioned, Mrs. William
Mitchell and Miss Durall who is the
guest of Mrs. Minnie Davis, were in
the receiving line. Misses Fanny
Clark and Madge Potts dispensed very
delicious iced punch which proved
most acceptable, owing to the sultri-
ness Of the day. The dining room was
very artistieally decorated with
syringa and fern leaves, an arch
formed by INTERVIEWING these to-
gether stretching from one side Of the
room TO the opposite side and passing
over the table. A large vase filled
| with immense red carnations stood in
the center Of the table and was sur
| rounded with lighted candles in silver
eandelabra. The color scheme OF red
and white blended beautifully with
| Mrs. Harper's dining room which is
done in tones Of red. An elaborate
salad course followed by an ice cream
course and served. The ladies who
ushered the guests to and from the
dining room and otherwise helped tC
make the afternoon a pleasant on'

On Thursday evening, Miss BeSs
q Russell most delightfully."- entertaint
a large number OF her friends for h
+ friend, Miss Albany, OF st. Loui
q When the guests bad ali assemble
Miss Russell corralled the gentlemt
and shut them up In the front ha
while the ladies were sequestered
the rear. A transom over the foldir
doors between the two was opened al
It the gentlemen, one by one, were j
o structed 10 pitch paper balls throul
the opening. The lady on the 9th
side who caught the ball land of cour
lie every one was caught was assinged
Il the pitcher of the same As partnt
. THE ball on being unwrapped reveal
# the number OF the table the couT
to was to seek. Upon these tables We
arranged games never before heard
ii on land or sea, and, needless to say,
~ the most intricate and bewilderi
a character. The players oon fou
the printed rules provided with ca
in game too great a tax Oh Their ment
g. ity and decided to lay them aside a
a each one make his own rule. IT
ut caused some confusion as to who p
gressed but proved a great saving
re the brain cells. Cooling punch v
OF handed round as the games We
played and served 20 distract att
tion from any passing OF cards unC
the table. After the games most
lu licions strawberry ice and cake WI
nc served together with rice from a VIII
NC satin slipper. The rice was generou
~ donated to Miss Bragg and Mr.. Or
~ who blushingly received most Of II
top Of their heads. Then Mr.. Bul
" called for silence and read a petit
y that DIR. Charles.D iggs and DR.. Fl
H. Pitcher should favor the crowd "
some melodies, sung after their o
%. peculiar fashion. 1t is unnecessary
ne state that this petition was signed
of those altogether IMMERSED in the
ng Of music, the names Of Digs d
on Pitcher appearing most conspicuous
the list. Not till the wee small no
did the guests disperse, all agree
that Miss Russell made a most char
ing hostess.
