The audience which gathers at the Coliseum tonight to hear the world renowned Paderewski. will be composed of the music lovers of this city. Richmond is known far and wide as a city composed of a musical class of people. ! For several years the May festivals given in this city' have been commented upon and praised by musical artists of mauy cities. The Paderewski; concert will no doubt be the most! prominent musical event given in this city since the Sehumann-Heink recital. . u Mr. and Mrs. Williams were; pleas-' antly surprised last evening at their j home, 926 North Twelfth street. The affair was in honor of their twentieth wedding anniversary. The hours were! spent at games and in a social man-j ner. Twenty-five guests were pres-! ent. A dainty luncheon was served. v & Nothing is prettier than jelly or; ices served in orange baskets or halved oranges with the two sides tied together with ribbon. j One way to prepare these baskets ' is to draw a circle around the orange, ' cutting through save for an inch right in the middle of each side for a handle. Cut away the skin along each side of this handle and carefully j remove the pulp of the orange from ! the spaces left. Throw the rinds into ice water so J

tney win not. dry out hetore using. Wipe carefully and fill with any mixture desired. If one has a very sharp knife the top of the orange and each side of the handle can be cut into scallops with a good-sized circle cut in the center of each. Or the handles can be left plain and twined with smilax or tied with a bow of paler yellow, violet or green ribbon.

Exclmisfiwlly Only a Piano of the most advanced artistic standard can win recognition from the foremost musical artists.

No piano has of late received such a notable succession of emphatic endorsements as has the Weber. Artists of wrld-wide renoun have stamped it with the seal of their approval and the entire musical world has definitely recognized the premier position among pianos which the Weber now occupies. The fact that Paderewski has decided to use the Weber Piano exclusively on his present concert tour is particularly impressive.

The Weber Piano is sold in Indianapolis only by

euchre party tomorrow evening, April second, at the Odd Fellows' hall. t4 Several indoor picnics have been given this spring. But now the hostess is growing weary of the card parties, luncheons, and dancing parties and is now waiting for the first signs of summer so that an old fashioned picnic may be given. The Dutch Treat, or what the English call "Going Jersey," is quite fashionable and takes the form of a tea-room or restaurant, picnic, each ordering what is liked best and paying for it herself. Princess Henry of Pless has made such "picnics" quite the fashion. jt Two girls gave an April "fool" party. Everything planned for the affair was unique and charming. The rooms were beautifully appointed in daffodils and narcissus. Odd looking chairs had been arranged for the guests and when they sat upon them, lo! the chairs were bottomless. The bon-bons were of cotton covered with chocolate paste. In the rolls were small marbles. In fact every dish on the table was an April "fool." After

the guests had almost despaired of having anything to eat, the hostesses taking pity upon them served a dainty and appropriate luncheon. i,? Mrs. L. N. Cox was the hostess for the Sub-Rosa club last night, at her home on South Seventh street. Cards were played at three tables. Prizes were awarded to Mr. Harry Glick and Mrs. George Scott. A two-course luncheon was served. The club will meet again in two weeks. Mr. Aubrey Hawkins of Indiana University, who has been visiting friends in this city, has returned home.
