IN OTHER CITIES Dr. William Hayden, of Kansas City, Kansas, very recently stopped over for a brief stay; just long enough to shake hands with many of the friends and to ring others over the phone to say howdy and goodbye. He was on his return home form a business trip to Ozark, Mo. Many friends regretted that Mrs. Jones, of Chicago, Ill., could not remain for the Christmas holidays, but her visit here was a sad one owing to the death of her sister, Mrs. Della Raymond. One of her sister's little boys, Floyd, accompanied her home to reside in the future with her. Mr. H. Moss and Mr. Charles Williams entertained Dec. 18th, Friday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mon. Fred Williams, 863 Summit Ave. The home was beautifully decorated in Christmas style, and it was one of the many social functions that was given during the holidays. Those who enjoyed the royal hospitality of the two gentlemen were: Misses E. Hardy, E. Dabney, D. Cooper, Marie Andrews, Mabelle Andrews, Ida Andrews, G. Vickers, E. Smith, G. Robberson, P. Wilburn, G. Corneal, E. Osborn, J. Stinnette, T. Bruce, E. Busee, Mrs. Fullbright; Messrs Norris Wilburn, Eugene Wilburn, Steward Fullbright, James Andrews, Nelson Howard, Lawrence Hogan, Dr. O. U.

Edmondson, Miss Bertha Whitlock and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Barker. This was a lovely gathering and all did justice to the delicious food which had been so daintily prepared by the hostess and host. On Friday afternoon Dec. 18, Mrs. B. B. Cooper was hostess to her Ladies Musical and Literary club Notwithstanding it was the afternoon of the close of school before the Christmas holidays, the ladies most of them made both places and no one was disappointed. Mrs. Mary A. Jarrett, president, called the meeting to order. Music, after which prayer was offered. After roll call a very interesting discussion followed on the author, Dunbar's life. Mrs. N. J. Layton received prize for the best quotation of the members. Mrs. I. V. McAdams for answering by pen the most questions correctly on the author's life. There was a tie for several who answered no questions nor gave any quotations, Mrs. Mary Smith winning the prize by a draw. Late in the afternoon or evening rather, a three course menu was served, Miss Doris Cooper assisting to the visitors, Mesdames Lon Vickers, Walter Smith, Ed Willburn and members. The next place of meeting with Mrs. Nellie Edmondson, 624 Cherry, the 15th of January, 1915. Mrs. Lon Vickers compliments the Ladies Musical and Literary club by preparing to entertain the members the first meeting in February. She will also further compliment the members by bestowing u on them a gift of her own handiwork. All members are anxiously awaiting the date. On the evening of December 16 Mrs. B. B. Cooper was hostess to the delightful L. H. club, and their lady and gentlemen friends. This was a most enjoyable gathering and the very special occasion in the constant diversion of games, dancing and music. On Christmas evening, the charming Miss Bestrica. Hardy was hostess to the large representative number of young ladies and, gentlemen of the city. Notwithstanding the zero temperature weather, the auto of the city was taxed to its dignity, in conveying the young folks to the lovely rural home of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Hardy. Miss Hardy proved such a perfect hostess that it was not until a very late hour that her guests even thought of returning to the city. Mr. T. S. Hardy gallantly assisted his daughter by perfectly performing what he called his duty, by kissing the pretty girls under the mistletoe to the chagrin of the gentlemen. After a well, merry spent Christmas evening all returned wondering what the next social Christmas function would be. In defiance and having the downpour of rain and sleet the young people very anxiously and readily, on Monday evening, Dec. 28 responded to the kind invitation of Miss Carrs Foster, 2134 Benton avenue, as she was entertaining in honor of her brother, Mr. A. L. Foster, of Wilberforce, Ohio. There were a large number present who enjoyed music and dancing until the wee hours of morn begun to appear. The apartments were beautifully decorated in Christmas foliage. Dainty refreshments were served. Miss Carrie is a lovely hostess and always does her share of entertaining for the Christmas holidays and visitors. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Cooper entertained with a family dinner on Christmas day. Covers were laid for Mr. Glen McAdams, whose company added greatly to the occasion and fourteen others who greatly enjoyed the Christmas day. Prof. H. V. Wallace and wife, Cathage and mother, Mrs. Anderson, of Montgomery City, were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. U. G. Hardrick on Dollison street. Tuesday afternoon Miss Ethyle B. Layton, Mrs. D. S, Smith, Miss Edwin H. Smith, Mrs. B. B. Cooper, and Miss Doris B. Cooper, made a few brief calls on Prof. and Mrs. H. V. Wallace, Mrs. Anderson of Montgomery City, Mr. and Mrs. U. G.

McAdams were host and hostess to an elaborate and elegant 2 o'clock dinner complimentary to Prof. and Mrs. H. V. Wallace, of Carthage and Mrs. Anderson of Montgomery City. Covers were laid for Prof. and Mrs. McAdams, Prof and Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Elliza Stemmons, Mr. William Smith, Mrs. Wm. Smith and Mrs. B. B. Cooper. The guests were hardly able to rise after partaking of all the Christmas good delicacies that can be crowded into a four course dinner. The afternoon passed so swiftly and too speedily in games; and music with Mrs. Wallace and Mr. Glen McAdams at the piano. Prof. Wallace favored all with a vocal solo which was heartily and loudly applauded. Prof. Wallace was forced to respond to an encore. As twilight was approaching Mrs. Wallace touched her husband on the shoulder as a signal for all to depart. Prof. and Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. Anderson departed on the evening train, notwithstanding the many invitations to remain as several social affairs had been arranged for them but as they had promised several to visit en route on their return, they were compelled to leave. Mr. and Mrs. U. G. Hardrick's home is a beautiful, stately residence and considered as one of the best homes in the city. Mrs. E. C. Johnson has been confined to her bed for about three weeks; we regret to say, and during the Christmas times too. Mrs. Johnson, is of a sweet, amiable disposition with a care for others and happiness and we regret to see her desires curtailed even in the very last. On Thursday Mrs. Nancy J. Layton was hostess to the L. H. club complimentary to the members of mild club with an enquiries 11 o'clock TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MORNING JAN. 8, 1915. course dinner. Mrs. Steward Pullbright was also honored guest. The members after heavily thanking Mrs. Layton in no uncertain terms for such a pleasant day, departed to the church to attend watch meeting, witnessing the closing of the old year and the beginning of the New Year. Mr. Charles Williams, teacher of Greenfield, spent his Christmas vacation in Springfield with his classmates and friends of Lincoln Institute and making new ones of Springfield, Mo. Mr. Landon W. Smith, a student at the Kansas State University, Lawrence, Kas., spent several days with relatives and friends in the city. MI), Ethyle Bernice Layton, of Jefferson City, Lincoln Institute, returned home to spend her Christmas with her parents and friends. Miss Layton is looking fine evincing what a time spent at Lincoln Institute means physically as well as intellectually: Miss Ethyle Alice Wilburn, or Muskogee, Okla., is enjoying the Christmas at home. Miss Wilburn has no occasion to wish for flowers, even at Christmas time and zero weather, for her vases are kept filled with fragrant scented roses. We surmise that the young gentlemen of the city will draw a long, sweet breath when the Christmas functions have ended. Yet they have been very gallant, for the ladies have not been allowed to walk scarcely a block, the "taxies" have been so much in service. A table which was prepared at 909 South Grant street at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wilburn loudly groaned when a 30-pound turkey, escolloped oysters, home cured ham and fifteen other accompanying dishes were placed upon it for the enjoyment and pleasure of her guests, who were Miss Geneva Vickers, Beatrice Hardy, Mr. Glen McAdams, Mr. Charles L. Williams and family, folks numbering about sixteen. This was New Years' day, Jan. 1st, 1915 and a day long to be remembered. Mrs. Wilburn was assisted in serving by her daughter, Miss Ethyle, who insisted that their guests should do ample justice to the feast, which they did. Of all the social functions of the Christmas season which carried off the honors, and the young men, Mr. Charles L. Williams and Mr. Landon W. Smith, who carried off the laurels as promoters, and who assisted by about twenty other young men, was the one given by them on New Year's evening at the residence of Miss Doris B. Coorger, 930 South Grant St. This affair was in complimentary honor to the members of the L. H. club and their lady and gentlemen friends. Money, time nor pains were not spared to make this the event of the season which it proved to be. Artistic hands and intellectual genius were used in the decorations of the apartments. The Christmas tide colors of green and red with bells, breaths, ferns and potted plants were used in the elaborate decorations. The ladies in their exquisite gowns of silks, velvets, plushes and laces of the various colors of the rainbow and elegant and charming styles of the fashion, and handsome gentlemen with their dress suit, of broad-cloth with silk binding, which almost puzzled their tailors to design them, etc., with the season's latest styles and colors of ties and hosiery, etc., made the grand scene one glorious vision of loveliness. Each lady received a white carnation bouquet tied with yellow ribbon, the club's color. The club's color of yellow and white was carried out, in the brick ice cream with the letters, "L. H." printed there upon; the white cake carried yellow roses, and the sweet strains of music from the hands of Prof. R. Pike, made the evening complete. Those who enjoyed the hospitality of these handsome, gallant knight were as follows: Misss Carrie Foster, Beatrice Hardy, Ethyle A.

Gallant 25th Regiment, the Cream of the United States Army Still Being Persecuted and Blamed for the Crimes, Short-Comings and Incompetency of Others. The Plaindealer has received the following communication, which we produce as received: Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, H. I. December 1, 1914. To the Editor of the Topeka Plain- dealer: I just want to inform you about some things which we, the 25th Infantry has to undergo. Crimes which other troops do we have to take the blame for. White soldiers cut up and beat the natives of this country and rape the women and we are punished for it. The officers search our lockers and clothes, but they do not find anything, but they put some of us in jail anyway. It seems as though we are on this Island to bear the punishment of the white troops, so Mr. Editor I want to let you and the world know some of the things that we have to undergo and I could tell you many more things which are unjust to the 25th Infantry. No doubt but that the article speaks the truth so far as it goes but we do not believe it tells all that could be related in this connection. The 25th Infantry is one of the best regiments in Uncle Sam's army and its members, the cream of his soldiers. Ever since the lamented Brownsville affair it has been the sad to blame the Negro soldier for every thing that is done, the perpetrators of which can not be apprehended. They, in military as well as civil life save to have a victim. In civil life when the criminal can not be found it is not uncommon to pick out some poor devil, thought to be defenseless and helpless and fasten it on him, and in the military they blame every thing that is degrading and of a criminal nature on the black soldiers and withhold from them any credit which is due them. Army officers in their treatment of each other and in their treatment of the private soldier are the most jealous of people. In addition to jealousy in many cases they are densely ignorant and have not the ability to ferret out the guilty, in some instances too lazy to try, easier to sit in their club rooms and issue orders to punish the black man on general principles. We are in favor of some movement which not only will secure to these great soldiers protection from persecutions, but also favor some plan to rid the United States Army of this class officers. The Plaindealer will loyally and fearlessly support any scheme which has these objects in view. The white Americans have carried their prejudices to these Islands and are trying to discriminate against the Negro persons COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS. (Left Over from Last Week.)

Matured at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. The Plaindeaeler is under many obligations to our many white patrons for both advertising and subscriptions. It is to this class of people the colored people owe much for an opportunity to grow and expand. We trust that our colored patrons will continue to give us their loyal support and we will try to make the paper better in the future than it has been in the past. The Plaindealer is proud of Mr. Chas. Sessions, the present secretary of state. He has been chosen as the private secretary to Gov-elect Capper. Mr. Sessions is one of the ablest newspaper men in the business and capable of filling any position he may be called upon to occupy. He is of the right timber to make an ideal private secretary to Governor-elect Capper. The Plaindealer hopes that as the years roll on he will climb higher and higher. Kansas could do no better than to make him governor at some future time. We are proud to know that there among our women one who is not afraid to or backward in seeking positions of honor and trust. Mrs. M. A. Johnson, one of Topeka's best cultured and refined women, is a candidate for the position of assistant postmistress in the House of Representatives during the coming Legislature. So far as we know Mrs. Johnson is the first colored woman to aspire to this position and we believe the Republican party owes it to the race to give Mrs. Johnson this honor. The solid strength of the Negro has always been with the Republicans, and the white people reap all the glory of the victory. Of all the state's help the Negro has but a small part and that the hardest of manual labor. We think it a fitting tribute to the loyalty of the Negro that Mrs. Johnson be given the position she seeks. Additional Locals Word has been received in Topeka telling of the death of the bright little son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Langston, of Denver, Colo. Mr. Langston was born and reared in Topeka, and those who visited in Denver last summer remember his bright little boy of four summers, who was the pride of Denver. Along with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Langston, The Plaindealer extends heartfelt sympathy in this their and hour of bereavement. --- We attended the Inter-State Literary Association at Lawrence last Thursday which was held at the Baptist church, of which Rev.

J. M. Brown, Pastor. Mrs. A. R. Hightower's lovely and well appointed home was the scene of a brilliant reception one day this week complimentary to Mrs. Hickam, of Kansas City, Mo., and Mrs. Allie Lawson Whittaker, of Denver, Colo. The parlors were a dassling sea of cut flowers, potted plants, palms, etc., and the forty-two handsomely gowned ladies who enjoyed Mrs. Hightower's hospitality, looked like so many queen, and added to the grandeur of the already beautiful scene. Truly it was the most elaborate affair of the New Year and Mrs. Hightower simply outdid herself in making it pleasant for her guests. She was ably assisted by her daughter, Miss Idg Taylor. --- Mrs. James Hudleson entertained the following gentlemen at a dinner last Thursday, Dec. 31, at her home, 214 E. Crane St.: Rev. J. M. Brown, Dr. J. L. Ransom, Prof. R. H. Wade and Editor N. Chiles. She was assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Angeline Williams and Mrs. Smiley. This was an exceptionally fine dinner. Mrs. Hudleson is one of Topeka's leading women and a fine cateress and knows how to arrange meals that will make anyone's mouth water. Everybody spoke highly of the dinner as this was given in honor of Presiding Elder Smith and Dr. Lewis Ransom. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that they could repeat this same thing at most any time and the same guests would come for miles to enjoy another such dinner. Cards were given as souvenirs to each guest. --- Mr. West Fisher celebrated his aftleth birthday anniversary at his home on the Pugh farm last week.

The following guests were present: David Chiles, Foster Chiles, Nek Chiles, Montgomery Bolin and wife, Mr. Victor Washington, Ben Adams, Gus Hagan and Mrs. Estella Fisher.

The hall itself was a grand scene, decorated with palms, ferns and a profusion of flowers, resembling a palm garden. The twelve Kewpie boys, attired in evening dress, stood between a long row of palms, while a large "Kewpie" surrounded by large vases, of lilies and roses graced the center of the room. Miss Goldie Duke introduced the guests in a charming manner, while Miss Josephiris Cunningham presided at the plano and Miss Costilla Reed was in charge of the souvenirs. Misses Ruby Rhodes, Fay Shuck, Margaret Oden and Annabel Odell served the guest in a delightful manner. Later in the evening the orchestra was announced and the jolly couples spent the time in dancing until a late hour, when the buzz of the taxi and the faint sound of voices told the end of an evening of pleasure long to be remembered in the social circles of Topeka. --- One Christmas to be long remembered by the people of North Topeka was celebrated in the latest style, Friday night, when the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Bledsoe entertained in honor of their wedding at their home, 1217 W. Norris St. Mrs. Bledsoe was formerly Miss Carrie Holman, daughter of Deputy Sheriff, and Mrs. J. J. Holman. She was one of the most popular girls of her social set. Many beautiful gowned ladies were present during the evening. The bride was unusually attractive in her wedding dress of Copenhagen blue satin, made in the very latest mode of back with coat effect, trimmed with black glass buttons and white satin collar and cuffs. She wore a gold ring with 6 pearl sets and one large topaz, the present of her husband. It was very evident that Mr. Bledsoe was more than proud of his young bride. The evening was spent in whist, conversation and music. Mr. Bledsoe wore full evening dress suit of black broad cloth. A dutch lunch, wafers and punch and cake and wine were the refreshments served. At a late hour the guests departed declaring that they had had the merriest Xmas of their lives. 0 Mr. Spenser Hall entertained the Reciprocal club at a luncheon at his residence on King and West St., on New Year's evening.

AGENTS WANTED! who addressed the club at Shiloh Baptist church on the Emancipation of the colored people. Rev. Jordan is one of the foremost men of the race in the United States and is doing much work not only for the Baptist foreign mission but for the people as a whole. His audience was carried away and electrofied from what he said concerning slavery and its great draw back for the race. He urges upon the young people not only to be imitators but real factors and doers of things that they have studied out and really can do. He was a delegate to the National Prohibition meeting which was held at that place and where several hundred delegates from the United States were present. He was the only colored delegate present and was cordially received by the convention there. 0 Too much commendation cannot be given the two sisters, Misses Eunice and Cornelia Coleman who gave a Christmas tree laden with presents at the Y. M. C. A. for the benefit of the poor children of Topeka. These young ladies began putting their money in the saving bank a year ago, looking forward to this event. We dare make the assertion that you will not find any two young ladies who will sacrifice their time and would benefit the rags as these ladies did in this case. This was a Christian act and too much praise cannot be given them. These young ladies are industrious, intelligent and diligent workers. They run the elevator at the Commercial club and have operated it for a long while. We hope this will be an incentive to other ladies of the race to take hold and do something along charitable lines for the uplift of the newly.

A banquet was served last Monday evening at the residence of Mr. William Brooks, N. Monroe St., in honor of Mr. Chaney of Chicago by Miss Alice Preston Ashcroft, assisted by Mrs. M. Matley. The following gentlemen were present as guests: Messrs. F. Stonestreet, W. Smith, A. P. Smith, Copps, Chiles, R. Hightowtower, Campbell, Baker, Jones. The guests were highly entertained by some innocent amusements until 9:30 when the doors to the dining room were thrown open and the guests were invited to the banquet table, where there was a feast that would do honor to the kings and lords. It was a feast of Belshazzar and his host. Each guest responded to a toast in honor of the visitor and the 0 host and hostess. The most unique thing about the affair was a card with the name of each guest was placed at the plates and after the guests were seated they were asked to take their proper places and when reading the card it was found that each person was at the wrong place and they had to make the change after being comfortably seated which caused much laughter and mirth for everybody. Mr. Chaney is in the service of the Pullmar Co., and is on the Chicago Limited from Chicago to Los Angeles. This is his first real visit to Topeka and he spoke highly of the city and its citizens, and from what we can glean there is some attraction here that is somewhat burdensome to his heart and we would not be surprised if he takes off one of Topeka's good ladies.

Stewart was born Feb. 4, 1877 in Memphis, Tenn., age 37 years, ten months, three weeks and six days. She lived in Tennesee until 1892 when her parents moved to Oklahoma and she remained in that state until a little less than five years ago when she, her husband and children moved to this place and lived until she departed this life Jan. 1st, 1915, about 1:30 p. m. She was christened in the A. M. E. church when an infant, joined the church and was baptised at twelve years of age. Though but a child, she lived faithful to her trust until God in His wisdom called her from labor to reward. She graduated in Memphis High school and taught school in Guthrie, Okla., and in other districts later on. She was united in holy matrimony to Mr. David Stewart Dec. 7, 1897, and lived with him as a true and devoted wife until death. She was indeed a wife and mother in every phase of the word. She was a musician of fine ability. When het household duties were so she could leave home if only for a short while, she could be seen pushing her baby in its little cart going to give music lessons and trying to earn a dollar to help sustain the home. She took some of the degrees of the Eastern Star but on account of her ill health was never able to become a full member, but nevertheless, they were faithful to her in many ways and she appreciated it highly. There is no pen that can tell what a strong personality she possessed, so unassuming, so pure, so simple, yet so deep. One had only to know her to love her. Indeed her friends were not confined to her own race alone, for there was scarcely a time in one's visits to her, but that some of her neighbors were there or sending something to comfort her. Hickerson's Cafe 603 N. MAIN ST., WICHITA, KS. The Imperial Barber Shop Hand and Electric Massage The Best Equipped Negro Shop in the State-Sanitary J. R. JOHNSTON, Prop. 610 N. Main St. WICHITA, KAS. Aside from her strong personality she had that drew others to her she possessed a remarkable individuality, and strange to say she never faltered. She spoke of her future plans only the day before her death, what she still hoped to do if her health be restured to her. She clung to her family and was indeed most devoted to her father and sisters. She seemed to grieve about her baby because of its helplessness and her inability to care for it. But with all her love for home and family ties, above all was her undying faith in Christ. On Sunday before she departed when her sister told her good-bye, she told her to lean on Jesus, He was the Doctor. She said indeed she was leaning on Him and all was well. When her father would be with her many nights, again and again they would think every moment was her last. He would ask her how stood her case. She would say, "All is well." Her husband said Thanksgiving night when he thought all hope had fled, he fell upon his knees and prayed to God to restore her and on rising found her shouting and praising God. Who could have lived and suffered as our dear sister has done, without that abiding faith that she possessed. Her life was as others, not free from cares, she had her bitters with her sweets, but she carried her troubles and placed them at the feet of Jesus and greeted her friends with a smile.

Mr. John Grant Pegg Has Charge of Christmas Cheer for One Hundred and Seventy-Five. In looking over the columns of the Omaha Daily Bee, we note the following item telling of the good work of our friend, Mr. John Grant Pegg. Mr. Pegg is always on the job when it comes to looking out for his race on any and all occasions. The Bee says: "John Grant Pegg's big Christmas for the poor colored children and the aged and the ill brought gladness to 137 persons, who were given bags of provisions, clothing, candy, etc., at Masonic hall yesterday. "Mayor James C. Dahlman visited Masonic hall while Pegg and Santa Claus, was giving out gifts right and left, and made a happy speech, after which he shook hands with all the little tots. "City Commissioner A. C. Kugel furnished Pegg an automobile and in the afternoon several auto loads of provisions, ranging from sacks of flour to chicken dinners and warm clothing, were delivered to distant parts of the city to poor families and sick persons. "Just as the distribution of the donations began a van arrived from the Thomas Kilpatrick company with a load of warm underwear for children. These were distributed to good advantage." In the Bee's Letter Box under the caption, "No Color Line for Santa," "L. M." a public spirited white citizen who believes in the doctrine of "all men up and no man down," says under date of Dec. 21, 1914: "Editor Bee: According to Booker T. Washington, who appeals for outside help for these folks, the cotton crisis will cheat thousands of Southern colored children out of their Christmas cheer, which reminds me of the provision being made here in Omaha for the poorer colored children as well as others, whose parents are unable to provide Christmas joys for them. In ample time generous hearted and wide-awake men and women of their own race began the collection of clothing, food and goods for these boys and girls, so that they might realize when old Santa comes that he comes for all and that he draws no color line, or lines of distinction between the rich and poor, The idea belongs to John Grant Pegg, city inspector of weights and measures, and has been worked out in co-operation with white and colored, the latter, however, carrying the burden of the enterprise. Such efforts deserve commendation and should be known to all because they reflect very creditably upon the character of Omaha's colored people. L. M.

Mrs Dora Skearce, who resides on East 1st St., is covered with smiles, because of her first grandchild. Mrs. Skearce is one of Topeka's leading active workers in political and social settlement work and is also a leader in the women's club work and in fact since the organization of the State Federation of Women's clubs in Kansas, she has never missed an annual gathering in nineteen years. When it comes to championing the cause of any candidate for office she has no equal. She held a position in the legislature several times; and she is a woman who takes great pride in working for the welfare and uplift of her race and does much work in looking after the sick and needy. There is never a call from the sick or one in distress or need of food or aliment that if it reaches the cars of Mrs. Skearce will always receive proper attention. Mrs. Skearce speaks highly of Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Williams, her neighbors across the street who are also doing much for the uplift of the neighborhood in which they live. Mrs. Skearce says she would like to see the women who are suffering from various ailments of the body, call on Mrs. Lawrence, as she is handling the medicine that is good for the healing of the nation; but so few people know of it especially the women who need such care. She says Mrs. Williams, who has lived in that community for over thirty years, has set by the bedside of the sick, dressed the dead, has been a good Samaritan and a good Christian woman all these years. The people of Topeka are proud of Mrs. Skearce and the good work that she is doing. One of the swellest affairs of the holidays was the one given by the A. E. S. N. club, Wednesday evening, Dec. 30th at the residence of Mrs. Adolph Hubbard, 1019 Washington St. The guests were ushered into the parlors, which were beautifully decorated with Christmas hells and all the characteristic decorations of the season, after which a program was rendered, consisting of the following numbers: Recitation, Mrs. Adolph Hubbard; Instrumental solo, Mrs. Victor Washington; select reauling, Mrs. Robt. E. Bell. Immediately following this a very entertaining feature of the evening was the "Mystical, Dinner Menu" which consisted of a list of puzzling questions to be answered by the guests.
