TRIP AROUND THE WORLD
GREAT SOCIAL SIIHGES &C

GREAt SOCIAE SUCCESS.
The Trip Around the World, long
delayed and postponed several times,
was held last night under the direc-
ton of the women of the Presbyte-
rian church, and although the attend
ance was not as large as it would
have been in warmer weather, fair
sized body of excursionists took the
trip and, socially, it was one of the
| big successes of the year.
| The Presbyterian church was the
union station or starting point. Here
tickets were bought and trains Sc
cured for the ride to the different
| countries. The first one visited was
America, at the George l.. Wyllys
home on North HILL Here everything
was flowers with red white and blue.
| The lower floor was gorgeous in it's
splendor of chrysanthemums and bun
| ting, aid up stairs the same materials
made all the rooms attractive. Uncle
Sam was there in the person of Har-
ry Robins, and Miss Maud Best made
| a lovely Goddess of Liberty. Assist
| ing in entertaining the travellers were
| Mesdames Keller, Wyllys, Carson, w.
| H. Pope, Pickering, A. A. Mason, B.
| F. Harlow; Misses Keller, Fort, Pick
ering and Carson. Every traveller
was served with chicken salad, sand
wiches, pickles and coffee. Many of
the tourists declared this to be the
most delightful country on the trip.
Ireland was the second country Wis
tied, at the R. S. Hamilton home on
Missouri avenue. The wearin' of the
green was the feature here, snam-
rocks being profusely employed in |
the decorations. A pig il the parlor
in true sAanty Irish comfort was a no
ticeable and distinctive feature, and |
Happy Hooligan rendered his services
to helping those who wished to kiss |
the Blarney Stone. Irish potatoes (in |
Salad) and sandwiches were served |
with tea or butteTmilk; and some |
thing out of a bottle was given those |
who wanted it. There were short |
stemmed clay pipes and hillside to-
bacco for those who wanted to smoke. |
Those who made the callers feel at |
Mr.. and Mrs ]. L. Leonard, Mr.. and
Mrs. Percy Evans; MeSdames o. H.
Smith, E. E. Davis, w. S. Kilgour, F.
c. Hunt, w. A Wilson; Misses Elean-
or Fleming, Ruth Smock, Lois Nisbet.
Louie Ogle, Elsie Elliott; Messrs.
John Hedgcoxe and Will Elliott and
Master Ted Hunt. Every assistant
was in Irish costume. Irish songs and
piano selections were given during
the evening by Messrs. Hedgcoxe and
Elliott, Mrs. Hunt and Miss Ogle.
This country was voted the jolliest
one of the tour, even the jack-o-lan
terms on the porch winking every one
a jolly goodbye.
From Ireland the excursion led to
Japan, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Il
J. P. White, on Lea avenue. Japanese
lanterns illuminated the front yard {
and the host and hostess welcomed l
the travellers at the front door and '
presented them to the Mikado. who
was in full regalia, the paraphenalia
almost hiding Haynes BrTrus as he j.,
sat on his throne. The house was ar
tistically decorated in Japanese style
and the very air breathed the fowery
kingdom. Here the sweet strains of r
a hidden orchestra haunted the rooms
and as the japanese girls glided about
in their brilliant kimonas, the travel r
er could not resist the illusion that =
he was in the land of fairies and .
dreams. Daintily cooked rice with \
branded cherries, tea, waters, fruit h
and nuts were the refresh
ments at this station Assisting the p
