PERSONAL AND
IN ENTERTAINMENT
AT MASONIC HOME
harrisburg Folks Participate in
Much-Applauded Program in
Elizabethtown Last Night
Rising in stately dignity from the
Snidst of their 132 acres the Pennsyl
vania State Masonic Homes at Eliz
bcthtown are a beautiful ?ind inspir
ing sight. The community or centra!
'building forms tlic heart of the little
municipal colony. Here are reading
rooms, library, sun patlor. reception
rooms, lounging rooms and corridors
furnished in exquisite taste and at
Huch almost unlimited expense that
the effect is that of one of America's
most palatial hostelries. The several
liundred men, women and children
guests iind here an abiding place of
peaco and plenty in an element of cul
ture and refinement.
An invitation to visit tlio homes for
vn evenlng'sentertainment was counted
a privilege by the Harrisburg Story
Telling League and last night its presi
dent, Mrs. H. G. Keller, and the sec
retary, Mrs. Charles .T. Wood, Jr., ac
companied by the well-known whistler,
Mrs. Arthur Keown, and Mrs. Joseph
Hays, pianiste and vocalist, gave of
their best before one of the most ap
preciative of audiences. Dinner was
served the parly upon their arrival in
the huge Gothic dining hall, whose
arched ceiling rises tifty-two feet. Op
posite the doorway is an immense tiro
place where a. man can stand upright
on the logbed with space to spare.
This room with its multicolored panes
ajid long visitors' gallery is an exact
replica of the of Oxford
College, England. Mr. Heckler, super
intendent of the homes, then escorted
the visitors upon a tour of inspection
over the premises, returning to open
the program at 8 o'clock.
The long general lounging room
"with its rich furnishings of old bluo
and buff was used for the occasion, a
small raised dais at one end for the
speakers and a grand piano near by i
for the music. The recently revived
art of story telling was something new
to most of the guests for after the for
mal introduction by Mr. Heckler Mrs.
Keffer gave a short "address upon its
meaning and history, followed by "The
House of the Golden Windows" as
illustration. Music interspersed every
prose number.
Listen to Stories
Mrs. Wood told "The Story of a
Pup," "The Home's Holiday," "A Rest
less Soul," "Easter Lilies" and "The
Battle," most of them her original
work. Mrs. Keffer gave "The Little
Tough Guy," original, and "Boy-
Afraid-of-the-Dark." and. as reclta
lions, "The Baby's Soliloquy" and
"The Country School." Mrs. Hays
pang "Rose of the Garden" and ac
companied Mrs. Keown in all her
whistling numbers but one, "Annie
Laurie," to which the latter played a
few soft accompanying chords. This
old favorite, whistled by request, made
a powerful appeal and its last soft
lingering nqte fairly "brought down
the house."
So thoroughly was the evening ap
preciated that Mr. Heckler made a
very beautiful little address at its close
expressing the pleasure of all the
guests for what to them had been a
very unique experience, and he called
for voluntary thanks, which was an
swered by Dr. Wilson.
A social hour followed before the
entertainers were obliged to catch
thelf train back to Harrisburg and this
was spent in receiving congratulations
and felicitations by the representatives
of the Harrisburg Story Telling Club
with urgent requests for a speedy re
-lum and appreciation by the guests of
the warm hospitality shown them.

\ in the Shops
The formal drawing room requires
a decorative scheme which is gracious
and dignified, yet light enough to
stimulate wit and brilliancy among the
quests who gather there, and among
many charming wall coverings correct
in design for this typo of room the
A. B. Tack Wall Paper Shop, 1210
North Third street, offers a wonderful
paper in a golden-toned Ivory with a
finish like heavy satin damask. A deli
cate oval design true to the spirit of
the Adam brothers whose decorations
are so noteworthy for grace and beauty
of line is used in this paper, and with
draperies of rose-colored taffeta this
would make a most distinctive room.
SIMPLICITY
Elaboration of footwear has brought
many freak boots besides the really
charming styles that well-dressed
women like, but with the vogue of
simple Btralght-llne frocks comes a
demand for the simple, perfectly plain
black pump, depending for Its distinc
tion only on beauty of line and cut,
and Just such a pump is shown at tho
Walk-Over Boot Shop. 22 6 Market
street, in a dull kid with high Louis
heel of leather. It looks particularly
dainty and graceful on the foot, is
well finished and sells for just $4.50,
