In Society.

Mesdamee Long and Murray opened their homes and .lawns to the young people of Rensselaer on Tuesday night, July 14, and their unbounded hospitality was enjoyed by a goodly number. At 6:30 a most bountiful supper was spread upon the lawns between the homes of the charming hostesses, at which were seated twenty-five couples, who did ample justice to the loads of eatables placed in tempting array before them. After the repast, canvass was stretched upon the lawns and dancing was indulged in under the light of the new moon, aided materially by the Japanese lanterns, with which the lawns were tastefully decorated. ’ Iced lemonade refreshed the weary; singing and merriment reigned supreme, and “joy was unconfined.” When at last the lads and lassies tore themselves reluctantly from the enchanting scene, each and every one voted it a most delightful affair, and to Mesdames Long and Murray the honors due such charming hostesses. Those present were: Misses— Messrs— Bertha Alter Fred Phillips Susie Parker Gus Phillips Pearl Ridgeway Ray Thompson (LaPorte) Hallie Flynn Blanche Brown V.

One of the most delightful entertainments was the “at home” given by Mrs. Grant Warner last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Warner is an adept in the polite art and her guests enjoyed the afternoon raptuously. Her luncheon was delicate and the amusement features charmingly new and unique. Mrs. Robert Randle received the prize, a jelly spoon, for the greatest success in the question contest. The following ladies were present: Mesdames — Honan Ellis E. D. Rhoades Delos Thompson F. B. Meyer T. J. McCoy Ross Long G. E. Murray E. R. Hopkins Rinehart (Buffalo) Robt. Randle Hardman Hanley N. H. Warner Chas. Robinson Craig H. J. Kannal G. K. Hollingsworth Yates Star Austin. x C. G. Spitler Misses— Maude Lally Martha Robinson (Remington) May Robins, .n A number of young people were entertained at the home of Miss Maud Jacks Tuesday evening. Refreshments were served at ten o’clock, after which they enjoyed themselves in playing games until the late hour of twelve o’clock, when they dispersed for their different homes, and all reported a good time.
