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 AGENTS WANTBD.
