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 Heineman, Schon Landman. * * * The musicloving people of Waco will be glad to know that Miss Sallie McCulloch and her assistants are actively engaged in rehearsing “The Chimes of Normandy,” which will be presented on the 15th of April. Mrs. Toby and Miss Weslow, Messrs. Toby, Allen, Farrel, Leuders and Smith will make up the cast. The chorus will be composed of fifty voices, including much of the best local talent. The opera is well known and popular, while the members of the company are sure to attain a very high standard of excellence, thus insuring an unusually attractive entertainment. * * * 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 the members of the Philo club.
