The ID. A. X. reception at Chad-
wick Hall on the evening oil Wash
ington's birthday was by far the
most delightful social function of
the winter. The hall was beauti-
fully decorated with flags and bunt-
ing and small evergreen trees dotted
with many red, white and blue cleo
trio lights added much to the artis-
tic effect, Geotge Washingtons pic
ture was prominently displayed,
draped in our flag and Illuminated

by the regent, Mrs. James b. Hale
and Mr.. Frank Kimball who repre-
scented Gen. and Lady Washington
and Mrs. C. Frances Darling, vice
regent, and Mrs. George Fabyan ex-
regent. After the ushers, who were
in Colonial costumes, had presented
the guests, the regent welcomed all
in charming manner, with few
patriotic and most appropriate
words and very enjoyable program
was opened with the singing OF
America by all, and the invocation,
by the Rev. Mr.. Shank. Solos were
sung by Mrs. Herbert Johnson of
Bradford with violin obligatos by
Miss Lucia Darling, and by Mrs.
Harry Hubbard and Mrs. Richard
Darling, and readings by Miss Alice
Beckwith and DR.. Russell. Every
number was excellent and was re-
ceived with the heartiest applause.
Another verse of America was
sung, after which delicious COLA
ton was served. Then a real social
hour followed. Many of the guests
wore colonial or historic costumes
which added greatly to the interest
and charm of the event. Elmore's
orchestra was in attendance and the
Virginia reel started the dancing
which was enjoyed until midnight.
