THE ". \. A, ENTERTAIN

A company of about fifty ladies and
gentlemen enjoyed the hospitality of
the w. N. A. circle at dinner party
last Tuesday evening at the Hogan
residence on Main street. This was
the third sat home" given this year
by this club. The hostesses were
Mesdames F. Perry, M. F. Woodbury.,
J. Law, M. Hogan, o. H. Doolittle
and M. Howe and Miss Keller, and
nothing that could contribute to the
pleasure of the guests was omitted.
The house was decorated in purple
and white, emblematic of the Easter
season. Huge ropes of purple and
white were draped from the corners of
the room, giving a most artistic
appearance. The guests were met at
the door by two colored gentlemen
who directed them to the dressing
rooms.
An elaborate three course dinner was
served at seven O'Clock. At each
cover was laid bunch of violets. A
group of young girls, daintily attired
in white, served the guests.
After the dinner the men adjourned
to the smoking room while the rooms
were being cleared. An hour later
each man was given an egg, on which
he was requested to draw fiattering
picture of his partner. The prize was
awarded to Mr.. Austin. Several
musical selections were sung by Dr.
and Mrs. Dubois, which were
thoroughly enjoyed by all.
