WARSAW, H., Nov 10.-As is
always the case with all of the enter
tainments and social functions of the
Lutheran church, the supper and its
accompanying program given on
Thursday evening, was a pronounced
success in every particular. From 5
p M. to after 8 p. m there was q per-
feet crush of people, the three long
tables set in the assembly room being
filled again and again. The supper
was well served by the ladies of the
Aid society. and the wants of every
enc were well cared for. The tables.
spread with snowy white linen,
were beautifully decorated, center
piece of each table being a large
pumpkin filled with fruit and vege-
tables, the various colors having a
beautiful effect.
The walls of the room were deco
rated with autumn leaves while the
east end Of the room was occupied ly
the bazaar containing various articles
of use and wear made by the ladies
of the church.
The graphophone concert began at
s o'clock in the school room above,
Mr.. Will Fenor having kindly con
sented to serve the machine in place
of Prof. Frank Cook, who was ILL., A
varied program was given interspers-
ed with songs by the male quartet of
the Lutheran choir, led by Prof. Erd-
mann, choir master, who is also teach
er of the school. The songs were a
surprise to most every one present
and were much enjoyed. 1t is safe
to say that there never was church
social in Warsaw where the attend
ance was as large as it was last
night; every church in the city was
gether and enjoyed the social inter
course like one large happy family.
The word Lutheran is trade
mark that wherever connected with a
church function, bespeaks success.
