Quite a squirt was taken this week
IN the way of private entertainments
Of u large and elaborate character and
the social gaiety Is again at high pitch.
Sleighing is about at an end, but the
skating is good and has been patron
| lied as much as time would permit.
Several events are dated for next week
| and following, and it is probable that
the present gaiety will continue up to
Lent. when the majority of the butter
flies will be quite content to enjoy a
period Of rest.
The reception and musicale given on
Wednesday evening. by the Gate City
club, although quite informal and
somewhat hurriedly arranged proved
! a very enjoyable affair in itself and
| had about II a charm of novelty as it
| differed considerably from the usual
| form of social diversion. Owing to the
late notification and previous engage
| ments of some of the members they
were unable to invite friends or be
present themselves so that the at
tendance. though sufficient to fill com
fortably the handsome apartments of
the club. was not SO large as it other
wise might have been. The guests were
welcomed by senator Mats in n brief
speech after which the following pro-
gram was rendered, Professor Reese
presiding. at the piano for the musical
portion of it.
Professor Reese rendered piano
solo. "Neapolitana"
Mr. Hickernell sang "playmates."
A violin solo. Theme from Martha"
was beautifully played by DR.. Hill
mantel.
Mr.. Garrick sang "Sunbeams."
The beautiful song, Anchored" was
well rendered by Mr.. Tibbetts.
Mr.. Hickernell recited Eugene
Aram's Dream" and as an encore,
Keep Your Eye on the Cat" The latter
is an amusing little skit and was ex-
tremely well done.
DIR. T.. G. Ellis sang the beautiful
ballad. ''rhe Heart Bowed Down."
DR.. Hillmantel rendered another
violin solo, the 'Berceuse."
The musical program was closed
with piano solo by Professor Reese.
1t was a Festal March, the professors
own composition.
After this Il simple but substantial
lunch was partaken of in the library
rooms. Then some card playing was
INDUCED in and the reception did not
come to a close till a very late hour,
and after the cracking of several
small bottles.
