A BECIIERCHE AFFAIR. Tlonesta'g Readiujr Club Entertains In Regal Style at Banquet. One of the prettiest social fu notions held in Tlonesta for many a day was: given last Friday evening at the Bovard ball, when the Tionesta Reading Club banqueted a number of distinguished guests, the same being none other than tbe husbands of tbe club members, the piano club, tbe pastor of the M. E. church and wife, and a few other friends. Tbe Reading Club, composed of eighteen of Tionesta's cultured Mesdames, was organized two years ago, and from that time forward has never shown moment's 'faltering in lt'a progress or seal for the improvement of Its members along the lilies of literature, history and art, and when tbe members determined on giving their hubbies and friends a treat the ulti mate success of tbe entertainment was a foregone conclusion. The hour for tbe beginning of the fes tivities was set for 6:30, and as tbe guests entered tbe ball tbey were cordially wel comed by tbe reception committee, Mrs. J. H. Derickson and Mrs. J, F. Proper. Tbe menu aud culinary arrangement was placed in tbe bands of tho Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, and here again was the wisdom of the club dem onstrated. It Is doubtful if a Delmonlco could bave performed tbe service with greater precision or In a more satisfac tory manner, Tbe tables were arranged in the form of a Greek cross, and tbe decorations were superb. Covers were laid for forty, and tbe menu waaelegantly served in four courses. Many flattering compliments and words of commenda tion were bestowed upon tbe young la dies fortbe exquisite manner in which this feature oi tbe banquet waa carried out. The banqueters were most happy iu the discussion of tbe fine spread, which lasted nearly two hours, and then began the "feast of reason and the flow of soul." At the bead of tbe table sat Mrs. Suie May Sharpe, who presided as Toast Mis tress with superb grace and elegance and Introduced each speaker wltb a few well chosen words appropriate to the subject assigned. Mrs. J. E. Wenk, president of the club, was the first to respond to the toast "Our Guests," and her gteeting was very cheerful, leaving no doubt in the minds of tbe guests of honor of tbe pleas ure tbe club found In offering this enter tainment as a token of regard to tbe hus bands, ministerial, musical and other friends. Rev. W. O. Calhoun, always happy in impromptu speech, outdid himself in responding to "The Ladies, His might properly be called tbe set speech of the evening, and the brow of noble womanhood was crowned with many rich diadems by tbe eloquent min ister in tbe course of his pleasing address. Mrs. J. A. Adams, secretary of tbe club, reviewed in a very entertaining and hap py vein the "History of Our Club" from Its inception down to tbeoccasion. Judge Irwin's address on "Russia," a theme which the clnb bas bad for its study dur ing the past few months, proved a veri table storehouse of useful and edifying information, and the learned jurist told tbe assemblage a score of things about this wonderful country, so vast In area, which some had never dreamed of. Mr. A. B. Kelly gave a very good account of tbe organization and status of the Douma, many of tbe facts brought out being a revelation to those unlamllar with this new lawmaking adjunct of tbe Russian government. Mrs. A. C. Brown was very convincing in ber response to tbe toast, "How we Have Been Benefitted by the Reading Club." The club bad taken up many of tbe momentous questions of tbe day, discussed and settled them in such a manner as to leave absolutely nothing further to be said or written on the subject. Mrs. James D. Davis gave a very pretty sketch of the life of Na thaniel Hawthorne, one of America's greatest authors, whose works bave formed a part of tbe club's study during the past year. Mrs. Angus Carson re sponded to tbe toast, "Our Girls," speak ing with much fervor of tbe grace, beauty and culture of our Tionesta girls, and ber solicitude for tbelr future welfare and success in life was sincere and earnest. To A. C. Brown, Esq., was assigned tbe subject of "Architecture," doubtless be cause be bas for some months past been wrestling with tbe problem of erecting a new domicile. His short address easily demonstrated that tbe little experience he bas bad In this line will stand bim in good stead when be comes to put tbe "trimmingB" on tbe new structure. The "Benefit Our Husbands Have Received from tbe Reading Club" was assigned to Mrs. G. G. Gaston, who protested that hers was the most difficult of all tbe sub jects. She was equal to the occasion, however, and easily convinced ber hear ers that the husbands bad received the lion's share of tbe benefits derived from the organization. Mrs. Gaston's was tbe last toast of the evening, and as a parting salute she left this poetical gem with her audience: Tbe benefit to our husbands bas surely been great; Tbe patience endured when dinner Is late Is very surprising for men so sedate; Who so very good-naturedly pay a dollar a plate For this elegant dinner served right up to date. And bow we adore them, but wish not to bore them Wltb our toasts, when it's growing so late. Tbe speech' making waa interspersed with very pleasing selections on the piano by Misses Ddith Hopkins, Marie Smearbaugh and Olive Lausou. And so tbe first banquet of the Tionesta Reading Club was at an end, tut it was an occasion which will linger long in the memory of those who were permitted to enjoy it as one of the pleasaulest of tbuir lives.
