ATTEND TABERNACLE

Unique in every way was the recep-
ton and banquet given last night at
the Reid Memorial Presbyterian
church for the business women of the
city. There have been many banQuets
given in this city but this is the first
affair of its kind ever given for the
women and girls of Richmond. The
affair was made possible by the dit
ferent church women Of the city who
arranged for the function. The guests
were received in the church parlOrs.
Previous to the banquet program of
organ numbers was played by Roland
Nusbaum.
At $50 O'Clock the guests were in
Vited to the banquet hall where an
elaborate menu was served The tables
We're beautiful. They were appointed
with carnations and ferns At each
cover was a carnation. Covers were
laid for $50 women. Among this num-
Der were girls employed in offices, fac
tories, stores and women engaged in
various kinds of work.
Mrs. Hole Gives Welcome.
At the close of the banquet a pro-
gram was presented. Mrs. Benjamin
Johnson presenting the speakers. On
account Of the lateness Of the hour it
was not given in detail as had been
the intention. The guests were first adj
dressed by Mrs. Allen d. Hole, who
said she was glad to welcome the
Young people. She said, the word wei
come" had been used so often that she
was afraid it did not express her
meaning. She said, she wondered if
the working girl fully realized what
she was doing Many OF them she re-
marked, never had had time to think
OF self for they were always doing
something for some one else. In the
daily grind of the days work she hop
ed there would be a little time which
the girl would take for herself and
think of the days work and the things
she was doing. She said it was won
derful to think how many girls trans
formed the days drudgery into some
thing else besides mOnOtOny.
Mrs, Holes talk was followed by a
few brief remarks by Mrs. Clase, a
member of the Honeywell party. Miss
Ruth James gave a pretty reading
Mrs. McCOmbs, also a member OF
the Honeywell party gave a short talk
She said she was like the small boy
who went to school and when a speak
err got up and asked what he should
talk about the young chap raised his
hand and said, Teacher, let him talk
about minute" Her remarks were
brief and to the point Miss Sarah Hill
member Of the school board was the
next speaker. Her words were in the
form of greeting and were fitting.
Miss Lamot Talks.
The last toast was given by Miss
Jean Lamont, who has charge of the
Bible study work during the Honey
we'll meetings. Miss Lamont said she
was a working woman and had beer
self supporting for a long time anC
she was glad to be able to talk tC
such gathering of intelligent women
At the close of her talk many of the
guests attended the Honeywell meet
ing at the Tabernacle.
