The Needlecraft club which was entertained Thursday evening by the Misses Sue and Celia Mayer, enjoyed a Christmas festival in every sense of the word and was one of the most happy of the many events of the holiday season. Christmas decorations in green and red prevailed. Ropes of the tissue in these colors were drawn from walls to the chandelier in the center of the rooms, where they were caught with a cluster of red Christmas bells, and these bells were also suspended from the archways and other available places. At one side of the room a tree in its pretty attire, with candles all ready to “light with a touch,” added the finishing touch to the Christmas setting. The usual occupation of sewing was laid aside last evening for a series of parlor games played at little tables, there being all varieties of games to suit the taste of the player. During the delicious luncheon, which was served in two courses between the games, which consisted of sandwiches, salad, pickles, coffee, cake, ic cream, the candles on the Christmas tree were lighted by Miss Ruth Mayer and shed their soft gleaming light over all. An exchange of gifts was in order by the club, and those having been prepared in advance were brought daintily wrapped and laid at the foot of the Christmas tree, from which they were handed out by Miss Ruth Mayer, who acted as an impromptu Santa Claus, and were opened with many pleased expressions by the recipients. The evening closed with music by the company. “The Star of the East." in chorus, and with Christmas solos and duets by Ruth and Naomi Mayer and others. The Misses Joyce Keifer and Osa Cowan were guests, beside the regular members. This will be the last meeting of Miss Dickinson with the club as she goes to Cleveland to become a trained nurse.
