He has dispelled dull care by his well told jokes; he has crossed the rubicon of prejudice, and can say in the words of the immortal Caesar—veni, vidi, vici! Truly may he echo the words, for he has conquered all by his genial presence and manly bearing. Delightful breezes have set afloat the yards of bunting and flags as a canopy of brilliant coloring; each citizen has paused to extend some courtesy, however slight, to welcome the visitors, and even the mayor’s key has sprung every lock in pleasure’s domain. Another day and the drummer will have gone. His path will be forsaken, nothing will remain but a pleasant memory, and—well, ask “mine host” Moore what he can show you. Never before has Waco been so generous in her hospitality. This however has not been misplaced, for the drummers have lost no opportunity to express their appreciation, or to bestow unstinted praise (oh, you sly rascals!) upon the ladies who gave the feminine touches of eclat. But the crown of enthusiasm rested on the evening diversions, when the “grip” turned out the dress suit, and that unruly heart would flutter when driving one’s sweethearts or wives to the receptions at the Pacific or the garden party at the park. Never before has Waco attempted so large an entertainment as she did in the reception at the Pacific on Wednesday. This opened the week’s social festivities. The world of fashion and frivolity was en rapport with the mighty men of finance; the silver haired dame laughed and made merry with the beardless youth—they were all there. The T. P. A. rooms, the corridors, the parlors and the dining room were not thronged but crushed. The decorating committee of ladies had been profuse with their floral touches. These were most artistically disposed in the T. P. A. rooms, which imparted the suggestion of bursting springtide. Here two hundred guests were enterlained by a musical and literary program. In the parlors an informal reception and a general introduction of strangers was in order. This suite also wore its floral dress in roses heaped upon the mantels or disposed here and there.
