About 300.in vitationos were sent out and nearly all the invited guests were present. It was held in the Opera house (one of the prettiest in Ontario) and no batter place could:have been choseza for a gathering of this Wed. Great credit is due Mr. Morton and the other members of the committee for the very complete and efficient arrangement made for the 44000M- modation of their guests, and which ire themselves went far to make it what it was -a complete Enemas. The opera. house was very beautifully decorated with bunting. and on each sidewall the emblem of the Order was very tastily displayed. The Masons evidently believe in the motto, "What is worth doing is worth doing The guests; of whore quite a number were from a distance, began to arrive at eight o'clock. Shortly thereafter the first part of the program began, The Wingharn, Orchestra club. under the leadership of Mr. Morton, performed the following pieces: Two step, "Elks Re- union," Prendiville ; Waltz, "Sousa," Car- lon; Wing (lance, "Uncle Ephraim's,* Coffin; Two step, "Trilby," Wieganci ; Waltz, "Sweet Little Katie Clare," Lange ; Waltz, "Nobody Knows Like Mother," Prendiville. Then there were vocal solos by Miss Winogene Macdonald, Miss Dolly, Johnson and W. T. Sullivan, a reading by Mies L. McKenzie and short addresses by Revs. Wm, Lowe and Jas. Hamilton. After this part of the programme had been exhausted, a delightful lunch was served in the concert hall, in a portien which a number of small cosy tllies had been set, and in the appeintmen ePt'd this section of the entertainment the' of the Order di -played their When the inner man had been Ina:et' iteeke- all repalred to the spacious Con Seithie ber, where dancing was indulged en, The floor was perfect, the music exceedingly good, and just enoegh people to ensue refort without overcrowding. There weie very few who did not dance a good. deal, the wall flower being an almost un- known quautity. The costumes worn by the ladies were very handsome, but lack of space will not allow us to describe them. in detail. But we will Kaye to make special mention of the dance orchestra. This organization has only been going twee weeks, and the very able manner in which it acquitted itself on its first appearance, is owing to the efforts of "the director," who spared no trouble to tnake it as near perfection as possible, and we are safe in saying that the harpers will get the cold shoulder from this out. About 3 30 a.m. the party broke up and all dispersed to - their various homen well pleased with the evening's entertainment, ninny the ladies being heard to express the wish for just such a lovely time once a week. Rev. T. L. McCutchent, of St. Thomas, general agent for McDermott en Logan publishing house, London, was hi town last week. Mr. McCuteheon formerly taught school in Kinloss, near Whitechurch and also quoit a few days with old friends in that vicinity. • PERS0N.A.L8.
