plants. The Thanksgiving atmosphere
was prevalent, the decorations. souve-
niers. luncheon, all being suggestive OF
the festive occasion. Each guest was
presented with miniature turkey
stuffed with CONNECTIONS. The place
cards were hand painted designs, bear
ing the famous chanteclier and the hem
pheasant. Seven tables were used IN
the game of Bridge and the guest prize,
silver pendant with amethyst setting,
was won by Mrs. McCord, while Miss
Madge Burnam won the second prize,
pair of pearl hat pins. Miss Bennett is
one of Richmord's most charming girls,
social favorite, and an ideal hostess,
and her entertainment was pronounced
by all present to be one OF the most
beautiful of the winter season.
An audience of near 400 persons
heard the opening number OF the Rich
mond Lecture Course for the season, In
the Normal Chapel on Saturday night.
The attraction was the Mozart Concert
Company, and it scored decided MT
Every number was encored at least once,
and il would be impossible TO say what
feature best pleased the audience.
Miss Massnick, the soprano, and Mrs.
Abel. the violinist, both showed entire
mastery of their respective arts. MI
Motto, the 'cellist, brought out the
possibilities of that instrument to an
unwonted deg lee. Mrs. holland, as
accompanist, performed her arduous
and exasting task with sympathy mat
would have won her an equal share oil
the applause, even apart from the num-
bers in which she appeared alone. Her
pianologues, and particularly The
| Wedding March, were charming. AS
reader she was wholly natural, and
entered into the characters with quiet
and sympathetic humor that is as rare
as it is artistic The next attraction in
the course will be the impersonator,
Edward Elliott, on January 9th, IN
some high class current play yet to be
selected
A beautiful social event of the Thanks
giving season, was the reception and
dance rendered the young ladies OF the
Madison Female Institute on last even
ing by the members of the faculty This
is an annual affair and one looked for
ward too with much pleasure by all
those who are fortunate enough to be
present. The invitations were sent out
by the young ladies to their gentlemen
friends, and goodly number responded,
besides few others, who were guests OF
President Cassiday and the faculty.
About one hundred were present. The
college colors, green and white. were
particularly noticeable in the decora-
lions, the dining hall being most artisti-
cally decorated with chrysanthemums
smilax and potted plants placed through
out the room. After the usual greetings
extended the students 10 their guests,
the orchestra played and the grand
march was the first number on the pro
gram and all joined in. There were ten
numbers with intermission, when de-
lightful two course luncheon was served,
consisting of fruits, salads and coffee
The program closed with the Virginia
Reel as a finale and this old time square
dance was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
During the intermissions between the
dances, Prof. Miller on the violin and
Misses Bagley and Mayo at the piano
gave several very enjoyable selections,
which added greatly to the evenings en-
tertainments. The school has always
been noted for its lovely receptions and
last evening added another to the long
list of enjoyable affairs.
