gram, and then Mr. and Mrs Elbridge S.
Pitcher, Mrs. Clement W. Wescott and
Emory White entered, CARRIED in quaint,
old fashioned costumes, and they sang
number of old time selections. Mrs.
Pitcher sang solo, playing her own &C
compartment "Mrs. Lofty and l" and
another big hit of the afternoon was the
duet by Mrs. Wescott and Mr.. White,
and the solo by Mr.. Pitcher, Crooked in
the Cradle of the Deep" when he played
his own accompaniment upon a quaint,
little melodeon which he was able to carry
about in his arms, and which had belong
ed to his mother, the late Mrs. Horace
Pitcher. Many of the people present had
never seen such an instrument, and it
was, therefore, examined with a great
deal of interest. The costumes worn by
the ladies were very handsome, Mrs.
Pitcher having a charming frock of
brocade satin, trimmed with velvet, with
which she wore lace fichu. This gown
is very old, and has been worn to three
golden weddings and to the wedding of
Mrs. Pitchers daughter, Gladys, now
Mrs. James T. Sleeper of Beloit, Wis.
Mrs. Wescott's gown was of changeable
brown striped silk, with hooped skirt, and
fichu, and with it she wore very beauti-
full set of earrings and brooch, of exquis
itely carved ivory, set in Etruscan gold.
After the program the quartet was serv-
ed with cider and old fashioned twisted
doughnuts and cornballs, and then their

different from anything yet given at the

tertainment of the season, as the club
restaurant will be closed after Sept. 10th.
