HROBSof gaiety
no longer
stir the pulse of
the social
world. Pleasure
is finding
her pursuits in other broader,deeper
channels, jutting into the sea of
things musical and literary. At the
residence of Mrs. Wm. Cameron,
on Friday afternoon, Mrs. S. W.
Slayden’s auditors thoroughly enjoyed
a comprehensive trip with
her through the Holy Land* She
talked for an hour and a half with
fluent ease, evincing a thorough
knowledge of her subject, while
she described many incidents in
a dramatic way, investing them
with pictorial beauty. Customs
of Oriental cities were reviewed,
bringing vividly into prominence
the scenes of Jerusalem and other
ancient cities. By special request
the talks will be continued at an
early date. Mrs. Slayden has
earned many high encomiums by
her original methods and her facile
gift of expression.

The Tiffin club, which is composed
entirely of ladies, entertained
their gentlemen friends last
Monday evening at the hospitable
home of Rabbi M. E. Myers on
Columbus street. The guests were
received by Miss Myers, assisted
by other members of the club.
The spacious parlors were brilliantly
illuminated, and with the
presence of so many lovely
women and gallant men presented
a scene of rare loveliness and enchantment.
At the appointed time the
president, Miss Herz, called the
meeting to order and the secretary,
Miss Myers, read the following
programme:
1. Instrumental duet, Misses Moses.
2. Roll Call. To which each member answered
with a quotation from Longfellow.
3. Biography of Logfellow, Miss Irene Livingston,
in rhymes composed by herself.
4. Instrumental Solo, Miss Schon Landman.
5. Recitation, “The Brother’s Inspiration,”
Miss Hortense Herz.
6. Instrumental Solo, Miss Carrie Emanuel.
7. Reoding, “The Last Mount,” Miss Min,
nie Myers.
The president closed the exercises
with the announcement that
the next meeting would take place
at the home of Miss Hannah
Krauss and that Lytton’s “Lady
of Lyons” will be read. Wellmerited
praise and congratulation
greeted the fair participants
and a happy flow of mirth and
conversation was kept up until
midnight, when the doors of the
dining room opened wide, displaying
a fair scene of flowers and
snowy cloths and sparkling glass,
crowning a bounteous feast. Delicious
cakes and ices and fragrant
punches, brewed by the
same fair hands that served them,
invited in every tempting manner
known to “art culinary.” Each
guest was presented with a handsome
favor, handpainted by
Misses Emanuel and Livingston,
The stars blinked sleepily in the
early morn as the merry gathering
dispersed, each one with long
to be remembered and pleasant
recollections of the delightful
evening spent with the lovely and
accomplished Tiffinites.

It is the period when the
practical housekeeper takes stock,
as it were, of articles most nocessary
to the comfort of those entrusted
to her care. The season
offering special advantages for the
purchase of plain fabrics, which
she herself will fashion as well for
the selection of household linen,
napery, etc. Hands that would
otherwise lie in the lap of inertia
find now an incentive to draw
threads from the cool, white linen
and set the stitches in the cobweb
border of dainty tray cloths,
scarfs, throws or breakfast doilys.
We wonder if, in imagination, she
anticipates the picture of his
pleasure when her thoughtfulness
shall betray itself as he unfolds an
embroidered doily, which shall lie,
when it is finished, in fleecy companionship
by the side of the
white flakey breakfast roll, while
the sweet peas and the mignonette
shall mingle their fragrance with
the aroma of the coffee. The
priestess herself will wear an organdie
muslin, upon which are displayed
the Dresden flower designs
going to be so popular with the
inauguration of the spring.

The Grand Annual Purim ball
given by the Ladies’ Hebrew Aid
society was one of the most brilliant
affairs of the season. Every
arrangement was perfect. Becker’s
orchestra discoursed its most
rapturous music, the ladies’ costumes
were elegant, and the attention
was cordial and complete
in all details. The supper, served
by the ladies, was a sumptuous
banquet, and reflected the greatest
credit on the ladies who had
the affair in charge. A great
many visitors were present,
among whom we noticed Misses
Gertie Moses, Austin; Rosa Levy,
Summitt, Miss.; Rosa Fernberg,
Opelousas, La.; Misses Prages and
Kemsler; Mrs. J. Abrams, Calvert;
Messrs. J. Alderman, Palestine;
Sol Lewis, Mexia; Sam Lewis,
Marlin; H. Furgeson, Hillsboro;
M. Colland, Calvert; Mr. Bauer,
New York.

The Woman’s club is in the
zenith of its popularity, owing
much of its prestige to the indefatigable
interest exhibited by the
president, Mrs. E. H. Dickson,
and other members of the club,
who prepare weekly a creditable
and varied intellectual menu, thus
wielding into a beautiful Mosaic
facts and fragments gathered in
the field of study. At their last
meeting on Monday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Dickson Mesdames
Brockenborough, Patton
and Dickson each read an intellectual
paper delineating characteristics
possessed by English,
Irish and Scotch women. Guests
were piquantly amused by Miss
Rachel Baunman’s Irish recitation.
Mrs. Bronston sang a Scotch
ballad, and by request the popular
“ Tinkinham’s Ferry.” Miss
Yates’ beautiful rendition of an
English vocal selection was particularly
pleasing. Mrs. Beaumont
read brief extracts on domestic
subjects. Miss Risher gave
in an inimitable manner a biographical
review of Murillo. Little
Miss Dickson displayed considerable
skill with the violin.
Mrs. A. Kirschner tendered a
delightful luncheon to the visiting
young ladies, complimentary
to her sister, Miss Levy, of Summitt,
Miss. Mrs. Kirschner was
ably assisted in receiving her
guests by Miss Levy and Mrs.
Pollock. The afternoon was
charmingly whiled away by
sparkling conversation, gay laughter,
vocal and instrumental music.
At 5:30 all were invited to the
dining room where a most sumptuous
banquet awaited them.
Those present were Misses Gertie
Moses, Austin; Rosa Fernberg,
Louisiana; Minnie Mook, May
Fox, Leah Moses, Carrie Jacobs,
Tekla Weslow, Birdie and Celia
Lowenstein, Emma Beer, Flora
and Irene Livingston, Minnie
Myers, Carrie Emanuel, Rosa
Sanger, Hortense Herz, Kittie

On Wednesday evening a cotillion
will be given by the members
of the Philo club as a compliment
to Mr. and Mrs. George
McLendon, who have returned
from their recent trip to California.
Mr. and Mrs. McLendon are
prominent figures in the social
realm and this event in their
honor will be characterized by
that measure of success which attends
any amenity extended by
