What Is Doing in Social, Club and Art Circles.

Miss Elizabeth R. Thomas

PHONE 1121

Mrs. John Nicholson entertained with a very pretty thimble company this afternoon at her home on East Main street. In honor of her mother, Mrs. Charlotte D. Goode. The house was attractively decorated with spring flowers and ferns. There were twenty guests bidden to enjoy Mrs. Nicholson's hospitality. Miss Carolyn Pettit of Port Clinton, Ohio, who is a house guest of Mrs. Goode, was among the out of town guests. J Ji J Richmond's young people who are attending school at Tarious colleges

and universities, will come flocking

home in a few days to spend their Spring vacation in this city with par

ents and friends. Spring vacation at

Earlham college will begin this week. 4 4 Ji Mr. and Mrs. Charles Snedeker of

Centerville, entertained Rev. and Mrs. J. O. Campbell to dinner yesterday. Jt 4 1 Mrs. Walter Ratliff has gone to Chicago for a short stay. J J J A very pretty social event of the past week was the company given by Mr. and Mrs. Atwood Jenkins at their home on the National road west. The affair was complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ware, who will leave Monday for Kansas. The house was attractively decorated with carnations and ferns. A three course luncheon was served. Carnations were given as favors to the women, while the men were presented with miniature hods. Games and music were features of the evening. Ji J J Washington It may be Lent, of course, since you happen to mention It, but Washington's whirliest whirl Isn't exactly suffering from a scarcity of square meals, nor is starvation any more de rigeur for decoration of the inner man than sackcloth and ashes for the outer woman.' London smoke is the nearest thing one notes to ashes in penitential costumes for the fashionable female. Now the lady paramount of the nation is as devout an "Episcopalian" as ever sprinted fervently to lenten services across the green sward of the White House grounds and Lafayette park to old St John's. But even Mrs. Taft must feast and wear pink satin some during the forty penitential days and nights. The rigors of the official game demand it. Mrs. Taft looks prettiest in pink and she realises it. So few people do realize the things they ought to wear. So, Lent, or no Lent she is not somnolent where duty calls the president's consort donned her prettiest and pinkiest satin frock, and, standing proudly beside that big bonny man of hers, received the diplomatic corps and their women folk. It was the first official function of the happy pair in the presidential abode. They enjoyed it as much as their company did. Jt J9 J Mr. and Mrs. John Trump entertain

ed with a six o'clock dinner last evening at their home on North Twelfth rtreet. Carnations and ferns were used In appointing the table. The guests were Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Nelson, Mrs. Mary Paige and Rev. and Mrs. G. H. Hill. JI J Mrs. W. W. Gaar. who is in New York, is staying at the Hotel WclcotL She will remain through April.

HOT EFFECTIVE HERE Recent Law Has Been Carried Out Locally for Some ' Time. COMPLETE COURT RECORDS

A new law enacted at the last legislative session provides that the records of police courts and justice of the peace courts shall be kept as complete as circuit court records. The bill, the provisions of which formed a part of the merchants legislative platform, requires that every justice of the peace, city judge or may or, acting as city judge, shall keep a public docket in which shall be entered all the cases tried before such officer, together with fines and costs taxer, and whether such fines and costs are paid or stayed, and it provides further that such docket shall be open to the public. This bill grew out of many evils In the class cf courts which It affects. With such a law as this, if penalties are not collected from saloon keepers, gamblers or others who frequently are favored by these courts, the public will have ample opportunity to find out whether the fees in such courts are assessed fairly and for the benefit of the taxpayers, or for the personal benefit of the constable or some other official. Richmond court-shops will not be effected, so far as present officials are concerned, by this remedial legislation. The dockets for months have been correctly kept and are open daily for inspection.

Beginning with last September, the exhibitions have been changed each month, but few of them have attracted more people than that now to be seen in the galleries and In the sculpture court. The William M. Chase pictures la the main gallery, appeal particularly to followers' of this kind of art. ' The hundreds of book plates la the court have aroused keen Interest among book lovers who have libraries of their own st home. - The fine show of old samplers Is especially interesting to women, both old and young. One' woman who has Inspected the display of samplers closely found that a generous number were made by girls In their early teens. 8he was curious to know why this sort of needle or fancy work should appeal to young girls, and made the interesting discovery on one of the samplers that the making of them was many years ago taught la some of the public schools.
