Delightful Event-Coming Out of
Miss Yawkey.
On Thursday evening, December
Goth, reception and dancing party,
was given by Mr.. and Mrs c. c.
fawkey, at the Wausau Club house.
1t was a memorable occasion mas
much as the function was given for the
coming out of their daughter, Miss
Leigh Yawkey. Invitations had been
issued two weeks previously and the
event was looked forward to with an
ticipations of the keenest joy. and no
matter how extravagant were those
expectations they were fully realized.
The reception hours were from $50
until 1000 o'clock and diving its prog
ress, Cones orchestra, which was
stationed on the first landing of the
stairway, discoursed concert music.
Guests, after laying aside their wraps,
were received in the parlors of the club
by the following party: Mr.. and Mrs.
c. g. Yawkey and Miss Yawkey; Mrs.
M. c. Yawkey and Mr.. and Mrs. F. M.
White. There were about 800 guests
present, which comfortably filled the
large rooms on the lower floor and the
scene was very beautiful to look upon,
with its large number of handsomely
gowned ladies, the gentlemen in full
dress, and the elaborate decorations.
In the reception rooms the decora-
tons were palms, southern smilax,
poiensettas and chrisanthemums.
Especially beautifulwas the large mantel
which was perfect bank of green with
numerous poiensettas. The stairway
was also al object of admiration with
its decorations from the reception rooms
to the hall above.
At 1890 the orchestra was transferred
to the ball room and thither the guests
wended their way. The hall had also
received much attention at the hands
of the decorators, for smilax, palms and
ferns were there in profusion.
The orchestra was hidden behind
screen of palms and ferns and too much
cannot be said of the excellent music
furnished suffice it to say, that to
lovers of the dance it was a continual
round of pleasure. In the main, the
program consisted of two-steps and
waltzes, and was not concluded until
late hour
From 11:30 refreshments were served
in the dining room. This was the first
time the room had been opened to the
public since the improvements were
made, and the completeness of
its appointments was the source
OF much favorable comment. It's
beauty swas enhanced on this oc-
casion by wealth of smilax and
lights were entwined with smiiax In
the center of the room was table on
which were Bohemian glass baskets
filled with carnations and the sides
were festooned with smilax. MIR. and
Mrs. j. p. Young were the caterers of
the evening

pleasure to all in attendance, and it
was a late hour whea adieus were said
and all departed for their homes.
