Furniture Reparing.

The greatest social event ever given in Rensselaer was the German given at the opera house, Tuesday night, by Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Holling worth. The room was beautifully decorated with evergreens and flowers, and Chinese lanterns. A perfect orchestra from Chicago furnished the music. About 11:30 the curtain was raised and four long tables, lighted with candles, and loaded with good things was disclosed. The collation was enjoyed by everyone. The gentlemanly Waiters from the Makeer house served the supper in the best style. After this tempting repast Mrs. Anna Ward Foster and Mr. Jesse Wilson led the company of. about 100 couples through the many and beautiful changes in the German. The favors were candy hearts, roses, carnations, tissue paper neckties, feather boas, aligators; tissue paper hats and caps. This was without doubt the most brilliant and beautiful party ever given in Rensselaer and everyone who participated was delighted.
