Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gennett entertained several friends at an informal whist party Friday evening. First prizes were won by Mrs. George L. Cates and Mr. Clarence Gennett. XThe appearance of the Knights of Columbus in Musical comedy, early in June, will attract Richmond society to the Gennett theatre to see how Richmond "stars" can sing and act, after the manner set forth by Eddie Redway or Fritz! Scheff. The play is "The Purple Prince," and is a charming little opera of two acts with a cast requiring about ten principals and a chorus of from twenty to forty. The play will be given in Marion this week by the Elks' Lodge and the papers of thaUcity predict its success. J, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gennett enter

tained at dinner last evening at the Westcott, in honor of Mr. Herbert Witherspoon, the noted ?alist, who is to sing at the May Musical Festival.

The guests were Mr. and Mrs. Shutnan Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Gennett, Mr. Witherspoon, Miss Rose Gennett and Mr. Fred Gennett.

The crowd of young people who

went to Germantown Friday, to attend a dance given by the Chi Sigma Chi and Phi Omega Pi fraternities at the Miami Military Institute, returned home Saturday evening delighted with the excellent manner in which

they were entertained. The dance

was a success. Many people were there from other cities and many

of the alumni of the institution also

attended. On Saturday morning, a ball game between the members of the two fraternities resulted in a tie and was postponed on account of warm weather. w Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ratliff enteratined at dinner yesterday noon. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Preston Bishop of this city, Mrs. William Jones, Mrs. Roy Jf ;es and the Misses Nellie and Irene Jpnes of Ft.

was served. Following the dinner, there was dancing and cards.

The rain yesterday afternoon inter

fered with the program at the Annual

Wernle Day Feast and on this account,

the success of the celebration was not as great as expected. There were more visitors from the city than ever

before, but the storm which was

threatening about noon, kept the peo

pie of Richmond from going to the

Home and for this reason, the attend

ance was smaller than is customary

The morning's program, including

the sermon by the Rev. A. A. Wicke

meyer, of Michigan City, was carried

out in full and nearly two thousand

people were in attendance. The collection was large, and exceeded the morning collection of a year ago. It is not expected, however, that there

will be as much in the Home trea

ury this year as last, as a result of the

Feast, becauss there was but a small

collection in the afternoon. Special Trains Brought Many.

The special trains and excursions

from other cities brought between

five hundred and one thousand people

to the city. The special from Fort Woyne, over the G., R. & I. Ry., was

the banner train, bringing nearly four

hundred. About two hundred came

from Hamilton and one hundred from

Middletown, Ohio. The excursion

from the north on the C, C. & L. was

also well patronized by Lutherans

The Rev. A. J. Feeger stated yester

day that although there was not enough in the fund to erect a new building for the Orphans' in place

of the structure now in use, the mat

ter of building will be brought before the meeting of the General Synod, in September, and it is thought that an

appropriation will be made to cover the cost. There are now sixty-four

orphans in the institution. There are two teachers, F. Wiechert and Miss Martha Hennings, besides the house father and Superintendent A. F. Klop-

fer. The affairs of the House are in excellent condition and the Lutherans take great interest in it, as shown by the number who visited there yesterday. The train, service on the C, C. & L. was excellent, and the larga crowds of visitors was cared for easily. The rain caused a general rush for the train, however, which was unexpected, and this caused some delay.
