Its chlvarly,
And bright the lamps shown o'er

| It was mostly fair women for th*
I am glad brave men were In the minority of
about 1 to 3.
Th# scene was the Methodist
church on Broad street and the oc
casion wae the reception given by
the fair women of the church to the
members of the church, their friends
and relatives, all other Methodists In
the city and the members of the oth
er churches who desired to partake
of the hospitality of the Methodist
sisterhood. Of course the revelry
was of the subdued kind, befitting
the place and the people, and aucp as
flows from the cup that cheera but
does not Inlbrlate towlt: coffe and
chocolate. It Is no stretch of the
imagination to say that It was
among the most pleasant social
•Tents of the aeasoa.
It came upon clear and bright
Wednesday evening and as the guests
ascended the steps they were greeted
by a line of fair women known as the
reception committee, whose names
were given in the ' Tlmes-Enterprlie
Wednesday morning. These fair wo
men extended the glad band and wel-
corned the guests to the church au
ditorium where they were entertain
ed by instrumental selections on th*
big organ by three young ladies un
til the late arrivals had been received
when Paster Outler, with his charm
ing smile, voiced the welcome of the
church body polite and announced
that the assembled hundreds were
forthwith expected to repair to the
Sunday school and league rooms be
low where everybody was due to ha*“
a good time and get acquainted with
everybody else. The rooms below
were very prettily decorated with
ferns, palms and potted plants and
the seats arranged with a military
eye in the form of a hollow square
on the center flanker by.reserves on
the four sides. In less than two
mlnntes from the time the upper
room waa vacated the babbel of hap
py voices that ascended from below
was conclusive proof that everybody
was known to every other body or
w'as in fair way to become so and
that the spirit of Christian follow-
ship was bubbling over. In the
midst of the greetings and introduc
tions came a bevy of fair damsels
bearing trays laden with coffe and
chocolate tepped with whipped
cream and wafers on the side. Every
body “coffeed” or "cocoaed” and a
mere hospitable bevy of girls yon
never saw. One had no sooner
passed back an, empty cup than
