In the perfectly equipped private theater in the largest of the St. Elizabeth Asylum buildings the Linthicum Students last night Presented a program embracing comedy, farce, pathos and music. The students were assisted by popular Miss Alice Jud- son, whose solo work was, demonstratively appreciated, and Mr. Saxton, the imitator and recitationist. Those of the Linthicums in the program of the evening were Mr. Collins, Mr. Keliher, Miss Donohue, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Miller, Mr. Oettnger, Mr. Pu- lizzi, Miss Pulizzi and Mr. Hay, the princl- pal of the institute with which the or- ganization 's attached. . The entertainers were conveyed to and from their homes in the carriages and coaches of the asylum, About 700 inmates witnessed the performance, being a ma- jority of those not subject to attacks. After the entertainment supper was spread for the participants. Miss Donohue of the students, who was tendered an engagement: with the Ellen ‘Vockey company, has decided to remain off the professional boards until through longer study and preparation she becomes more satisfied with her abilities. Independent Lodge. An invitation has been extended to Dis- trict Lodge, No. 3,1. O..G. T., by Inde- pendent Lodge to hold their next meeting in the Georgetown hall. At a meeting of the latter lodge last night a committee was appointed to make arrangements for an excursion. In the ‘good of the order” the following members participated: M. E. Wilson, Lea Lawrence, O. J. Taylor, J. M. Coleman, Bessie McElroy, Sergt. John Daley, Katie Hanley and Morris Walmer. There were visitors present from Silver Star, Star of Hope and Good Will Lodges. Revival Services. Revivals are being nightly conducted at the First and Seventh Baptist (colored) Churches here. Rev. M. Alexander, at the former, reports that he has had fifteen confessions of the faith, while the Seventh Baptist Church has had nine new members added to her fold. Visiting ministers have been holding forth there. Last night the pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church and a Richmond, Va., preacher conducted the revival services. The greatest religious enthusiasm is prevailing. At every meeting the congregation is worked up into a fer- ment through the strong exhortations of the divines in charge. Repairing the Bridge. By tomorrow, if nothing unforeseen hap- pens, the Aqueduct coffer dam will have been emptied. For two days the pumping has been going steadily on. The hole in the lower pler, which the diver has been work- ing on for months, is now plainly visible. It’s a more serious-looking affair than any here have ever thought existed. In the be- ginning of the pumping a leak in the dam was developed, which made the inner flow as heavy as the oan forced out. To- morrow will, in all probability, disclose the very base of the big pier, which hasn’t been uncovered for sixty years. Emancipation Celebration. At a meeting of cclored citizens of Georgetown, Church (Bell), O street northwest, Mr. Jas. W. Davenport, president; Mr. Jas. L. Tur- ner, secretary, the following committees were appointed to complete the arrange- ments for a mass meeting to be held at night, the 16th day of April, at Ebenezer: Committee on invitations—Dr. C.

Smothers, Daniel Washington, Linsey Cane, Capt. Wm. Neal, Geo. Smith, Wm. H. Brown, Ralph Hewlett, Dr. A. T. Pride, Wm. Washington and J. Lorenzo Chase. on An Alleged Conspiracy in a Post Office The civil service commission has received from an employe of the Savannah, Ga., post office a complaint that an employe has approached associates to form a com- bination to secure the dismissal of certain members of the force and to make their victims commit errors. The commission cannot take cogniance of offenses of this kind unless it is found that’removals were procured for political purposes, A more detatled report was immediately called for, with a request for an offer to furnish proof of violations of the civil service law. The report is expected in a few days. —_—_-e— Indignation Meeting. Another indignation meeting over the killing of Reuben Foster in Hillsdale by Policeman Green was held last. night at Dr. Johrison’s Baptist Church, on R street. John W. Freeman, Rev. Robert Johnson and Robert Wilburn of Mississippi were the speakers. Colonel Perry Carson was also booked for a speech, byt. was detained at home by sickness. The speakers were earnest in their expression of the hope that the next grand jury would act on the matter. ——.—__ In the Classified Service. The civil service commission -has. de- cided that the employes in the census office are within the classified-service. “The ‘ques- tion was a disputed one for some time, but the commission holds that, as the census exists no longer as a bureau, but merely as a division of the Interior Department, the ninety clerks now engaged on the force are entitled to the benefits of the civil service law. - held at Ebenezer A.

This organization has grown largely in the past few months, so much so that it was thought advisable to create a local council in this city. Heretofore the various chapters of this city,-Pohick and the sem- inary have been attached to the Washing- ton council. The following trave been elect- ed officers for the ensuing-year: William W. Parker of St. Paul's Chapter, president; Wm. H. McCuen of Grace Chapter, vice president; John W. Herndon of Christ Chapter, secretary; Wallace H. Fawcett of St. Paul’s Chapter, treasurer, and Rev. Samuel A. Wallace of the Theological Sem- inary, chaplain. The meetings will be held bi-monthly. Committee on Streets. The committee on streets has decided to report that W. J. Carter has complied with the law in crecting a small milk shed in his yard on Patrick street, he having cov- ered it with corrugated iron. The commit- tee has also decided to recommend that the street between the bulkhead and the curb at the foot of Queen street be paved with rubble stone. The application of the Alex- andria Fertilizer and Chemical Company to erect a bridge over Princess street be- tween Lee and Union was laid over until the next meeting. Still Another Charter. Judge Norton has granted a charter to the International Savings, Loan and Build- ing ‘Institution of America, the object of which is to do a general building associa- tion business. The capital stock is to be $1,000,000, and Mr. A. W. Armstrong is to be the representative in this city. T. C. Jones is president. Sparring Contests. A fair-sized crowd went to Dan Henry’s ‘Theater last night to witness the sparring contests that had been advertised to take place. The first was a go between Henry Baker and Lewis Carrington, both colored, of this city, and was won by Carrington in the third round. Harry Jones and Willie Hill, two colored Alexandria bantams, were brought together for the .next bout, and Jones won in the fourth round. Two stable boys from St. Asaph, ‘Frank Jones, white, and Wiliam Taylor, colored, furnished the amusement in the third bout, Jones get- ting the decision. The principal bout of the evening was between Hite Peckham, who is matched to fight Billy McMillan, and his trainer, Kid Gray. They gave a very clever exhibition of scientific sparring for four’rounds to a draw. Notes. The work of repairing the city treas- urer’s office has been begun. Belmont’s stable of twenty-four horses will arrive at the Driving Park on Mon- day. Among the horses are Jack of Spades and Song and Dance. The work of frescoing the inside of St. Mary’s Church has been commenced. It is thought the church will be ready for occupancy by the middle of June. Miss Lobb of Washington delivered an interesting address on “Kindergarten” in Peabody Hall last night. Messrs. Robert Cline and Charles Bell have gone to Havre de Grace, Md., on a ducking trip. Potomac Tent of Recabites held a regu- lar meeting last night. 3 Potomac Lodge, I. O. O. F., conferred the initiatory degree on one candidate last night. s. Donohoe, editor of the Fairfax Herald, was in the city yesterday. The statement that J. C.

There was only one case in the police court this morning, that of Wm. Weaver, charged with stealing $5 from a man named Carroll. He was sent to the chain gang for ninety days. Mrs. John Waller received a stroke of paralysis yesterday morning, and is now critically ill. The Monthly Dance. The Alexandria Hebrew Pleasure Club gave their monthly dance lest night at the Braddock House hall, which was dec- orated with flags of all nations and plants. The floor ccmmittee were Mr. M.

Trevitt, the attorney who was engaged in the case before Justice Triplett in Alexandria last Monday, which ended in the ccwhiding of one of the par- ties to the case, denies the statement at- tributed in The Star’s account of the cow- hiding to Mr. Harry Hines, to the effect that Hines had a few days previously knocked him down for making remarks | insulting to Virginia women. Mr. Trevitt says Hines rever knocked him down, and that he never made a remark insulting to Virginia women. Mr. Trevitt, after the proceedings before Justice Triplett, went into a neighboring house, having been in- vited there to dinner, and not, he says, to get protection. He did not consider, he says, that he was in any danger of assault. When he was called out of the house he did not apologize,as he had nothing to apologize for, but explained that he had never made any remark of an insulting character about Virginia women. This explanation was taken by those present as satisfactory. aes A Big Gift to the Church.

In New York city the most general Easter custom shines out in the form of Eastertide luncheons, very refreshing after those that have flourished during Lent, arranged on a very economical basis, by which two or three dollars are flattened out to serve ten gor twelve persons. “I will never joim a ‘limited’ luncheon club again,” a charming young housewife exclaimed vehemently on a recent oc¢a- ston. “I am an egthusiastic housekeepér, ard I firmly believe tht a wise and thrifty matiagement shouidi ide over. every- body’s table ‘with ééristant vigilance, but it is worse than folly sto attempt to serve an elaborate menu’for ten or twelve guests with an outlay of two @ollars. I was asked to join one of-thesé*poverty luncheon clubs at the beginning of Lelit, and I accepted on the condition, that sSpoula be allowed to serve an unpretendjhg, honest meal of bouil- lon, beefsteak and,,pojatoea and rice pud- ding instead of stragé ing with an array of six or seven attgnuated courses. “I was assured that’$2 would provide a lovely luncheon cf six pourses and ten cov- ers. As a proof that what had been done eculd be done again; the following menu was given me, with prices attached: “Bouillon, 10c.; crackers, 4c.; lobster, 28c.; chicken, croquettes, 50c.; potatoes, 10c.; celery, 5c.; salad, 25c.; snow pudding, 20c.; candy, 5c.; olives, 10c.; almonds, 15c.; bread and butter, 13c. Sennty Proportions, “This looks plausible; but imagine ten healthy appetites around ‘a table set forth with 5 cents’ wor of candy, 15 cents’ worth of almonds, and other things in the same scanty proportions. A luncheon for ten, limited to an expense of $2, is either shabbily inadequate in quantity, or the ac- counts are ‘cooked’ quite as thoroughly as the food. I declare this with confidence, because I was once’&® member of such a club,” z “The luncheons were excellent, it is true, but the devices to make them so were al- mest to. ingenious. One hostess was help- ed out of her emergéncy by timely gifts of fish and fowl from her pitying husband. I am sure we all were glad that he was so merciful—we would else have gone hungry away. Another clever woman used her Sweet persuasion with butcher and grocer to ‘cut’ prices for her on her entertaining day, and weave in the obliging reduction among the items of her bills later in the month. In short, before thé circuit of hostesses was completed we had earned— justly—the title of the Liars’ Club.”” The ambition concerning the fashionable luncheons cf the coming Easter week is to make them “egg feasts,” every course, as far as possible, being composed or served in the form of eggs. These luncheons must ‘necessarily be somewhat supperish, but they will have the charm of novelty, at least. Cookery books, ancient and modern, ere undergoing a diligent search for “exe effects.” A few recipes will illustrate what cen be done in the way of Easter luncheon eggs. Fish Eggs.—Pound in a mortar half a pound of any raw fish, add a good table- apconful of finely-grated bread crumbs, cne and a half ounces of butter, two beat- en eggs, pepper and salt, and a little catsup; mix well together and shape into eggs; roll in egg and _bread-crumbs, and fry till quite brown, These to serve as the fish cours2. The entrees should consist of various omelettes, two or three varieties served together on one dish. Omelette aux pines herbes.—The propor tions for a small one are two whole eggs beaten till light (i. e., till the fork you beat them with can be lifted clean out of the egg), one small finely minced onion, a dessertspoonful of parsley, with pepper to teste.. Now melt one ounce of butter in the pan,’ and as soon as it is quite still pour fh the mixture, which should be well blended, and cook it tif] the eggs are near- ly set, and the under side is a paje golden color; then tilt the Reto waes you, slip a bread knife—a palette knife is best—under the half,of the omelette nearest you, and fold it over the furthest half. . Slip the whole thing down to the side of the pan, which will give it a crescent shape; place it at once on a hd dish, sprinkle it with salt, and serve. Some Qmelettes, For lobster .omelfjtte,make the omelette precisely as above, omitting the onion and parsley and using, more eggs—four will make it sufficiently! large to serve with a variety. Cut into dice the large claws of a fine lobster, put them into a saucepan with some butter rolled‘ in‘ a little flour and enough cream to make a thick sauce; sprinkle with cayesne, throw in a heaped tablespoonful of chopped mushtooms and heat thoroughly. When the omelette is ready to fold over spread the lobster mix- ture in the center, fold it and serve with melted butter mixed with ‘finely chopped parsley. For sweet omelettes.—A plain sweet ome- lette, flavored with a little vanilla, over which some rum is poured and lighted as it 1s placed on the table, is easily made. For an omelette souffiee beat the yolks of three eggs_with about three dessert spoon- fuls of confectione~s’ sugar till. it is quite thick; flavor-to taste with vanilla or any- thing you. please; then stir mto it the whites of five eggs, beaten to the stiffest possible froth—you should be able to cut it clean with a knife. Pour it on to a hot buttered dish, score it across two or three times with a knife—this prevents its tear- ing and so:falling directly the spoon goes in—baké in a quick oven for ten minutes, when it should be lightly sprinkled with fine sugar mixed with whatever flavoring you have chosen and served at once. If delayed in the least it will fall and be spoilt. An omelette en surprise is an ordinary sweet omelette into which is slipped, just as it is ready to serve, a portion of any cream ice desired. This should be frozen as hard as possible, as the heat of the omelette will melt and spoil it. Eggs in Variety. Savory eggs.—Make a thick sauce of half a pint of milk, one ounce of butter, and a heaped dessertspoonful of flour. Mix, add pepper and salt, and boll quite smooth. Take some finely grated tongue or ham, boil some bits of maccaroni, drain well and mix them with part of your sauce; add a teaspoonful of made mustard. In a butter- ed china dish put a layer of maccaroni and sauce, then a layer of grated tongue, then slip in carefully as many raw fresh eggs as your dish will hold; sprinkle with pep- per and cayenne. Over the eggs place an- other light layer of the grated tongue and pour over all.the rest of the sauce so lightly as not to break the eggs. Bake five to six minutes. Cuban eggs.—Cook rice until every grain is separate; dry and toss with butter. Lay in a dish and place delicately poached eggs on_the top. Serve with tomato sauce. Eggs a la bechamel.—Boil a few eggs for five minutes, plunge them into cold water, then strip off the shells. Keep them warm while preparing a sauce as follows: Dis- solve two ounces of fresh butter, mix smoothly with it two ounces of flour, stir in a cupful of cream and a little boiling twater. Let this come to a boil, then draw jaside and add two small peeled onions, a ;bunch of sweet herbs, a whole carrot, and a shred of lemon rind, also pepper and salt, Let these simmer gently for half an hour, then remove the vegetables, stir in a cup- ful of button mushrooms, and pour the sauce round the eggs; sprinkle a little chopped parsley and grated horse radish over the surface. Eggs au parmesan.—Beat the white of an egg to a stiff froth with a pinch of salt, then stir into it lightlysone ounce of grated cheese, a little salt, and a dust of cayenne. Shape it into the size of pigeons’ eggs, drop these into hot fat, a few at a time—if you put in too many tHey will knock against each other and not:rise properly—and fry for five minutes tilP of-a pretty gold color, then drain and sere, “usted over lightly with grated cheese," ”*' o-_____ Alleged Poison Sugar Sold.

YOUNG MEN’S CATHOLIC CLUB. A Series of Games to Be Bowled at Baltimore. ‘This evening the bowling team of the Young Men’s Catholic Club will play a se- ries of games with the Baltimore Catho- lic Club, on the alleys of the latter team. Thos. A. Gorman of the United States Ex- press Company has arranged for a special car, to be placed at the disposal of the club, which will be attached to the 6:20 Baltimore and Ohio train. A return game will be played at the Y. M. C. C. next week. The pool and billard tables have recent- ly been overhauled, and are considered now as good as new. Owing to the large expense in former years attached to the running of a base ball team, it is probable that the club will not be represented on the diamond this year. However, President Ring is an ati- letic enthusiast, and may devise some scheme to pnt a team in the field, as last year he made himself personally respon- sible for the eapenses of the team. In the Carroll Institute Gym. The membership of Carroll Institute is rapidly increasing. Last week nineteen new members were elected. A long-felt want, and on which work is now under way, is the cataloguing of the books in the library. The weekly addresses, illustrated by stereopticon views, have proven very popular, and a large crowd assembled Thursday evening to hear Rev. Chas. W. Currier tell about “Sunny Spain.” Mr. Cur- rier was a representative of the state of Maryland to the Columbian celebration at Madrid. There will be no C. I. base ball team this year. That much is certain. Instructor Joyce may, however, decide to enter some of his men in the field days that both the Columbia A. C.’s and ¥. M. Cc. A.’3 expect to hold. At present much preparation is being made in the gymna- sium for the annual exhibition, which comes off in two or three weeks. The Y. M. C. C. Bowlers Knocked Down 2,198 Pins Last Night. The first set of bowling games to decide the tie between the Y. M. C. C. and the W. A. C. was bowled off on the alleys of the Y. M. C. C. last night, when the Y. M. C..C. bowling team broke all previous records made by members of the District Amateur Bowling League for a string of three games, bowling down the large num- ber of 2,498 pins. The feature of the even- ing was the bowling of B. Lehman, who led his team in all three games, with scores of 191, 213, 176. O'Connor of the same team had the score of 208 pins. Fuller led the W. A. C., with 188. There remafhs a set of three games to be bowled on the alleys of the W. A. C. to finish the friendly series. ‘The scores of the games follow: First Game. Y¥.M.C.O.

Continuation of the Championship Play—Notes of the Whist Experts. - The play for the chess championship of the District has continued through the week, but there are yet a good many games to be played. Mr. Wright leads by a small margin, though he is being press- ed closely, and it is not at all certain that he will win tne trophy for the third con- secutive time, and so secure its individual Possession. There has been some criticism from certain quarters of late to the ef- fect that this tourney played semi-annually for the championship of the District does not really confer that honor upon its vic- tor, and there is an unfortunate dispo- sition to belittle this event. It is a fact that the cup was not originally offered un- der the exact terms that are now govern- ing the struggle for its possession, but, being generously offered in turn by the Washington Chess Club as the symbol of local championship, there can be no ques- tion that to win the trophy under the con- ditions laid down is to win the titlc of the most expert chess player in this locality. The competition being open to all the chess amateurs of the District, leaves no room whatever for ary sort of complaint, and it is rather surprising that there should be those now to criticise the desig- nation of this event as a championship tourney. It is certain that there is no other means of determining the champion- ship than by tournament play, open to all comers, and governed by well-considered reasonable rules. and regulations. Ample notice having been given, as in the present case, those who fail to enter the lists for the cup have no ground for complaint, for they have forfeited their right to the title by their lack of interest. No play, open or ccrfined to members of any one organiza- tion, can possibly entitle the victor to the rark of District champion, and it is a pity now that all the good players of the Dis- trict nave not seen the futility of further efforts to discredit the Libbey tourney, and have not come into the ranks of championship contestants. 7 2 eo 8 The members of the Capital Bicycle Club are highly elated on account of their vic- tory over the Baltimore Whist Club last Saturday evening, as not even the most sanguine expected that they would secure so large a margin as fourteen tricks. There isa sharp rivalry between the two clubs, and, as the preceding match re- sulted in favor of Baltimore, the victory of last week was especially sweet to the local experts. Washington has won two and lost two of the four matches played in the intercity whist tournament, and the return matches with New York and Philadelphia are yet to be played. They will probably be played at the rooms of the C. Bi. B. in this city within the next, two weeks. .e* © @ The result of the duplicate whist con- test at the club last Wednesday evening was as follows: Barrick and Carr, plus two; Hoeke and Borches, plus two; Quack- enbush and Fogg, plus two; Clark and Cook, plus one; Cole and Johnson, zero; Dodge and Williamson, zero; Stamford and Partner, minus three; Stafford and Har- ban, minus four. Base Ball Notes. How familiar was the ending of that game at Savannah yesterday. Washington was 3 runs ahead when Pittsburg went to bat in the ninth, Anderson, who was in the box for the Senators, was wild and in- effective, and before the game was over six Pittsburgers had crcssed the plate and won the game. Cleveland defeated Atlanta, 11 to 7; St. Louis, Memphis, 18 to 10; New York, Ports- mouth, $ to 0; Baltimore, New Orleans, 6 to.0; Cincinnati, Nashville, 7 to 0. Ted Sullivan's Dailas, Tex., league team defeated Norfolk yesterday in a very close and exciting game by 6 to 5. A correspondent with the Baltimore base ball team writes from New Orleans: “Man- ager Hanlon is worried about his pitchers. It is safe to say McMahon will not do any pitching for a month or six weeks after the championship season begins, for he has made little effort to use his arm. In ad- dition, he is doing less generai _ practice than any other man on the team. Hem- ming and Esper are far from being in good physical condition. Manager Hanion has said nothing to these men, as they are not under contract until April 1. Then he will tell them that any one net in condition by April 18 will go to the bench without pay.” Beckwith Defeated Wright. The annual tennis tournament closed at St, Augustine, Fla., yesterday afternoon, the last games being those between Beck- with and Wright for the gentleman's’ sin- gle prize, $100, It was expected that Wright would win and he confirmed the expectations: In the first two sets, but Beckwith improved his play as the match progressed. Wright lost several games in the third set and then played for a rest, showing evidence of fatigue. When Wright got down to hard work again in the fourth set Beckwith was playing in splen- did form, and Wright could not outplay him. The score was soon two sets each. Beckwith took first three games in the final set. Wright could not overcome his lead and Beckwith won by the following score: 4-6, 3-6, 60, 64, 6-2. Beckwith took the first, Wright the second and But- ler the consolation prize. For the Columbian Nine. The Columbian College base ball team received a benefit last night in the shape of an entertainment in Columbian Uni- versity Hall. The Columbian orchestra be- gan the program with an overture, after which Reginald Davis,William Ward, Miss Grace Ross and Miss Helen Biddis ap- peared in a little drama, “Love by Induc- tion.” The “March of the Pasha’s Guard” was rendered by the Columbian quintet and recitations were given by Miss Fran- ces Jacobs, Robert Franham, jr., and Reg- inald Davis. The musical part of the pro- gram was rendered by Miss Adelaide Clem- ents, Mr. Thatcher Clark, Mr. J. Lewis Riggiles and Mr. Elliott C. Prentiss. ——__ BUSINESS WOMEN’S WORK. A Splendid Exhibit at Their Rooms on 11th Street. ‘The exhibit of woman’s work at the Bus- iness Woman’s Club, 606 11th street north- west, which was opened for a private view last night, prior to the regular opening for sales, commencing ioday and continuing through Monday and-Tuesday, attracted a large attendance of people interested in the industries of women. The display was an interesting ene, and the objects exhibited included specimens of woman’s handicraft of all kinds, from a lawyer’g brief to a painted china plate, and from cake making to expert copying. The art exhibit was noticeably extensive and there were a great many displays. This exhibit of work done entirely by wo- men Js one of the most original conceptions yet given to the public. The committee on decoration, headed by Miss Frances Benja- min Johnston, found themselves confronted with oceans of exhibits, ranging from knit- ted hose, preserves, cakes, rich laces, fine Portrait medallions, painted china and many water colors and paintings. That the work is blended and harmonized is due largely to the artistic skill of Miss Johnston, who has so arranged the arti- cles that the rooms look like a rich mosaic. Two pieces of historic interest are “Old Glory,” that floated over Armory Square Hospital during the war, and was draped over the caskets of 1,400 soldiers, and an “album quilt,” maie by some Boston wo- men for Armory Square Hospital, each block containing a verse of picture, and which, after a lapse of thirty years, is easily read. This quilt was kept to use on state ce- casions on the bed of “Little Johnnie,” a sixteen-year-old drummer, who, efter eigh- teen months of heroic suffering, died of blood poisoning. 4 Navajo blankets, feather pictures and ornaments, bead work and Indian dolls show the handiwork of untrained races. While close at hand a beautiful punch bowl, by Miss Constance Adams, fourteen years of age, and two exquisite miniatures of Napoleon, by Miss Sophie Lowrie, show what cultivation of the same talent pro- duces. A bunch of fleur de lys and morning glories, climbing up a curtain—paper flow- ers, made by the Misses Curry, show great skill, while a handsome shade, with amary- lis flowera, is the delight of the ladies. The table exhibiting the club members’ work is most interestirg, showing the do- mestic and eine ane of its busy work- ers Mrs. Marie uise Cassin shows & Piece of tapestry painting, a plece of music, while her engrossed notices on the goods of ee read orders taken,” are really works of art. Miss Lida Colman Tulloch shows a poem, megazine erticle, a painting and a draw- ing, while Mrs. Ada G. Adams shows art needle work and some of the handsomest china in the rooms. Miss Frances John- ston’s photographs of Mrs. Hearst's resi- dence are loaned by Mrs. Hearst, and ap- pear on the club table, while Dr. Nancy Richards has her card on a pair of hose knitted and darned. by if, also a medical prescription. A linen shirt, three articles published by a scientific society, a glass of jelly and a medical prescription bear the card of the president of the club, Mrs. Henry J. Finley. Two dainty bon- nets, one by Mrs. R. Floyd, the other by Miss Lizzie Lucas, show their handi- work, while Miss Amy Clement Leavitt sends a filmy piece of knitted lace and some verses. Miss Leavitt was dressed in @ gown seventy years old, and looked be- witching as a “ladye of ye olden time.” Miss Edith Westcott’s work was not on the parlor club table, but the dainty oyster sandwiches served the guests show2d “schoclmarms kin cook.” Miss Estelle Adams had on the table some embroidery, while her exquisite rendering of “Over the Hil to ‘Aunt Mary's” showed her pro- fessional work. During the study of these interesting exhibits Miss Mary Helen Howe sang sweetly several times. “Ben Bolt” was particularly well sung. SEEN THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1—Judge ‘Cox. ‘Warner agt.
