MAYORS RECEP ton
WAS BRILLIANT EVENT

- mAk y
i The society event Of the year took
lplace az the Waldo hotel Thursday
evening Mayor and Mrs. P. ii.
Shield's reception. The function
was ons of more than usual bril-
lance and proved one OF splendor
and magnifcence. Delightful, indeed
was the program of the evening, and
all the many present were highly
complimentary to host and hostess
and those who assisted them on, this
very pleasureable occasion.
The hotel balcony, parlors. assei1-
lbly and dining rooms were tasteful
ly and beautifully decorated for I'm,
evening and al the appointments
were perfect, nothing having been
overlooked to make it memorable iii
the history Of local society, and es-
peeially to be cherished in the men,
DRY of all the many fortunate
enough to be in attendance.
AT $3.50 o'clock the guests began
to assemble in front of the parlor on
the second balcony, and Prof. Crows
orchestra executed a special and at
tractiye musical program. As tho
guests were received each lady was
presented with an American Beauty
rose and each gentleman given a
white carnation.
An hour and a half was enjoyably
spent in the parlors and about 10
O'Clock the guests went upstairs to
the assembly hall, where they step
ped the fantastic on a la glace floor,
Mayor Shields and wife leading the
.grand march in very graceful and
accomplished manner, while the or
ehestra furnished appropriate music.
Twenty numbers constituted the
dance program at that time and at
11:15 o'clock, the company repaired
10 the dining room, handsomely dec
GRATED, and feasted at luncheon to
Their hearts content The menu
Was as follows:
RadislIes Olives
Bread and Butter Sandwiches
Chicken Salad
Lemon Ice
Assorted Cake
Small Coffee
After luncheon the guests most all
returned to the dance hall and en-
ioyed Themselves, in renewal Of the
dance program until the wee small
hours Of the night, and den2rtedl-
finally after shewering ttlfeiss graft
tude upon host and hostess for such
a pleasant evening.
Assisting the hostess were Mrs.
George NJ. West, Mrs. H. r. Ward
and Mrs. c. pNStout. The other
three hostesses, Mrs. NJ. J. Bartlett,
Mrs. J. r. Hart. and Mrs. +. W. Gil
bert were deprived of the pleasure
and honor Of being present on ac-
count Of Illness.
IA Mrs. Shields was gowned very
beconingfy and fashionably in real
lace over pink silk, with diamond
ornaments, and wore real flowers in
her hair.
Mrs. West was gowned in white
net over cream satin, Mrs. Ward in
white net over while silk, and Mrs.
Stout in white organdie over pink
lsilk.
A novel feature was introduced.
namely, that of having the guests
register. This was done as they as
sembled. II shows from this that
the number of guests was large. fully
| ione hundred or more being in at
tendance.
The attendance was the largest at
lany reception given in social circles
this season, and the evening could
not have been excelled in brilliance
and elegance. It was, indeed; an oc-
casion all present found infinite
pleasure in, and words are powerless
to do full Justice to the reception.
/ Truly, as the Telegram previously
asserted. society was all agog for the
event. and the compliments OF the
evening attested this and host and
hostess have endeared themselves to
the hundred guests as entertainers oil
most engaging mein an5 lavish hos

lpitality.
Space forbids the mention Of a
lcomplete list Of names OF all the
many present, but society was wen
represented, in fact, all the leaders
Iof the ultra fashionable set graced
lfbe scene with their presence.
