VERY one feels
the better for the
presence of the
jolly drummers.
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.
Goldstein & Miqel.
The improvised supper root
surrounded the square court,
double line of tables were fillil
to overflowing. The decoration
were in keeping with the seasol
Baskets overladen with rare rose
swung above, while beds, and
loosely tied bunches were strewn
at irregular intervals. Hugh
Shannon, with his waiters; was
on duty in the service of salad
with its complements, ices and
coffee.
And thus the merry whirl went
on until time’s clarion sounded
the approach of Aurora, curious
(for she is a woman) to learn
what magnet held such lingering
revelers.
There’s a mischievous little
twinkle in an incandescent
light when it peeps through the
beautiful foliage at the park. It
seems to say. “You gay young
drummers, we know you, so we
will just shine a little bit to see
what sweet glance and tender
smile you have for every pretty
girl.”
The garden party on Thursday
was a pleasant contrast to the reception
of the night before. The
breeze was just cool enough, the
crowd was just large enough,,
and Colonel Winter just spoke
entertainingly enough to add tl*
necessary charm to the affaii
The full Infantry band gave
fine concert.
On Friday evening, it was accorded
the college the distinction
of sustaining the reputation of
Waco for artistic culture. The
members of the T. P. A. were
tendered a choice program, part '
first being arranged by the pupils!
of the college, and part two by\
the teachers. Later, a reception
occupied a pleasant hour.
The presence of the Texas
veterans in the city on Saturday
with its accompaniment of a parade
and speeches gives fitting
finale to the week. This afternoon
is enlivened by a band concert
at the park.
Three nights of opera with a
matinee and two nights of drama
with a matinee have held the
boards at Garlands.
The Tabernacle has been
crowded every evening when Sam
Jones has preached.
Thus has the mayor’s key done
its service. We are glad to have
welcomed the drummers, and feel
rejuvenated by their presence.
The dining room which became
the improvised ball room
was one seething mass. Many
beautiful gowns were worn, but
the crush was too great to show
them to advantage. ’Twas a
pity, too, for there were many
pretty strangers gracing the floor;
then, too, we wanted the drummer
boys to note our pretty girls.
The TwentyThird Infantry band
was in attendance. The order
of dances was printed upon a
satin banner which occupied a
prominent space.
AFTER THOUGHTS.
PostD. from San Antonio wore
the handsomest badges of the
convention. Surmounting a blue
satin scroll was a medalion design
of the Alamo, the other side
being the monument to Crocket.
A pleasant episode of the reception
was the presentation by
Secretary Payson to Post H, of
Waco, a gavel made’from a stone
of the Alamo. The handle was
taken from the old San Jose mission,
erected nearly four centuries
ago.
