and Nj S. F. 7. Lewis for reception
on March 18th st. Patrick's day, as

Sunday.
Although the day was hot and
dusty. the cordial handshake and
pleasant smiles of the hostesses, who,
gowned in white, received their
guests in the hall, which decorated
in white carnations and smilax, did
much to dispel the discomfort caus-
ed by the weather.
Little Miss Dorothy Bradley.
dressed in white. and Master Donald
Thompson. in white sailor uni
form, attended the door.
The parlor was profusely decor
ated with tulips and snapdragons,
the library with smilax and snap
dragons. where the punch bowl was
presided over by Miss Robinson,
Miss Hester Robinson and Miss Mil
dred Mendelson. all looking their
sweetest in white frocks. In this
room hung picture of the patron
saint of the day.
The crowning feature of the floral
decorations was in the dining room.
where a large cut glass bowl filled
with daffodils was placed in the
center of the dining table with ropes.
Of smilax festooned from the chan
delier to each corner of the table.
where were placed pots of sure
enough shamrock. In this. room
dainty refreshments. consisting of
cake. coffee. macaroons in the form
of shamrock leaves. ices and con-
fectionery in st. Patrick's green.
and last but not least. cinnamon
creams. which looked like Irish
praties. The silver candelabra was
filled with green candles which cast
= decidedly St. Patrick's glow over
the room.
The hostesses were assisted by
Mesdames Updike. Kendall. Pearce.
Bisbee. Hart, Wood. Ewing. Tallia-
ferro. Francis. Griffin, Miss Bald
ridge and Miss Kendall.
Prof. Condit rendered piano music
in his inimitable style throughout

THE PHoNoGRAPH HEARsE.
Berlin Young Woman Patents Plan for
Providing Funeral Notes.

Berlin.-A young woman of Berlin
has filed n patent designed TO NIL a
want which has not so far been keen
" felt She proposes TO supply for
funerals the phonograph hearse-de'
signed perhaps TO intensity the grief
OF the mourners.
The hearse is OF the ordinary build.
but two megaphones are introduced as
part OF the decoration. They are to
be situated at the forward upper an
giles. and being handsomely gilt, they
will serve in the first place as repre-.
sentatIons of Gabriel's trumpet
Under the drivers seat will be
placed the mechanism by which the
phonograph will be controlled. The
choice of the style OF music and the
selections will depend on the be
reaved relatives or the last wishes OF
the deceased. Those who prefer vocal
music can have hymns and dirges as
rendered by well trained quartettes
ground out as the hearse passes
through the streets to the cemetery.
Others II they choose may select fu-
neral marches as performed by brass
bands.
The inventor thinks there is a great
future for her idea. The installation
OF the apparatus is relatively inexpen.
sive and she thinks people who want
to make their funerals impressive will
pay literally for the music.
