UCH interest was
felt in the concert
on Thursday
evening, owing
to the social and
musical standing
of the Euterpeans,
yet, judging
from its impulsive
bursts of
applause, the audience was not
prepared for the artistically executed
program which was presented
as follows:

The City Hall never before appeared
so attractive. Either end
of the rostrum upheld a mammoth
bunch of “bleeding hearts,”
while the space between was
spanned by a border of growing
field daisies, whose heads kissed
the hems of the dainty gowns of
the twenty ladies who are ihe
gifted daughters of Euterpe.
These were

lace drapery caught the motion
of the gentle breeze, and stirred
the tendrils which bordered the
achwnys, screened the mantels,
crept to the cabinets or sprayed
the immense trays of roses or
jasnfines which seemed ’ omnipresent.
An unseen mandolin
orchestra canght up the subdued
vibrations, only to lose them in
the chatter of the refreshment
rooms. Here the Marguerite was
queen. She starred the green
satin band which diagonally
overlaid the richly patterned
damask of the table, and nestled
at one corner into a large floral
doylie to uphold a cut glass vase,
filled with the pure white biossoms.
The tea maids wore white.
They were Misses Mary Finks,
Carrie Tibbs, Henrietta Downs
and Coriune Kosure. The receiving
party added to the ho&
tesses, Mesdames McCulloch,.
Hamilton, Mistrot, Parrott, Marshall
and Byrne with Misses
Mattie Jones, Marshall, Burke,
Mistrot and Chamberlin. The
light tints of their airy frocksharmonized
with the green tones
of the foliage. Indeed, it was a,
picture worthy the pen of Kate:
Greenway. Two hundred and
thirty cards were issued which
included all the fashionable
clientele.
The wedding of Miss Mollie
Caufield and Mr. Joe Cavitt was
solemnized at the First Presbyterian
church on Wednesday
morning. The Rev. Hendricks
of Kentucky, was the officiating
minis+er. The Messrs. Cavitt,
Caufield and Parker, of Belton
were the ushers. A wreath of
roses sprayed with fern leaves
decked the nuptial altar, while
sweet peas formed the bridal bouquet.
The bride wore her tiaveling
suit, as the ceremony was
immediately followed by boarding
the train for Galveston.
Upon their return, Mr. and Mrs.
Cavitt will receive their friends
with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Clifton, who are occupying the
Suhler home during the heated
term.
Surmounting these, as patron
of the evening was a
framed portrait of Mendelssohn
within a semiarch formed from
the foliaged letters of “Euterpe.”
An evergreen lyre was just beneath.
The audience was not only
large but represented an element
eminently capable of criticism,
and, as a unit, it bestowed nothing
but praise upon the Euterpeans.
It was, perhaps, the most
fashionable gathering of the
kind noticed this season.
It was indeed a bower of loveliness
which enshrined the callers
at the reception of Mesdames
Downs, Roberts and Black on
Thursday afternoon between the
hours of four and seven. The
sight was beautiful, and brought
into requisition all the treasures
of the leafy month. The filmy
The season of private open air
fetes was most auspicuously I inaugurated
on Tuesday evening,
when the ladies of the Second
Presbyterian chruch beautified
the lawn of Mrs. James Sturgis
to receive their friends. After
their winter’s hibernation, the
Mikado lanterns again peeped
forth. The North Waco Mandolin
Club was in attendance. Rebecca’s
Well was gayly dressed.
The crowd was large, and altogether,
the occasion was delightful.
The guests at Mrs. Cunningham’s,
together with a limited
number of invited friends, played
a game of Drive Whist on Wednesday
evening. In the match
of hands, Miss Reese and Mr.
McDonnell stood head while Miss
Kelly' and Mr. Frank Connor
stood foot. The game was particularly
pleasant.
