The Reception At Rev. Young's

THE RECEPTION AT REV. YOUNG'S

-------------------------------

A very pleasant informal reception was held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. T. W. Young, E. Ann street, Tuesday evening by the Home and Foreign Missionary societies of the Baptist church. The evening was the occasion of the annual tendering of thank-offerings by the members of the church, who were all provided with envelopes in which to enclose a sum of money. The offerings last evening amounted to $51 and will be divided between the two societies.

The guests were pleasantly entertained during the evening by several solos which were sung by Mrs. W. W. Beman and Miss Grace Gates, of Chicago. Miss Josephine Davidson gave some readings which offorded a good deal of amusement to the guests, being humorous in character, and were given in Miss Davidson's own inimitable way.

Dainty refreshments we&re served in the dining room, which was beautifully decorated in red and green, red candles, smilax and red carnations. Mrs. J. H. Eaton poured chocolate and Mrs. J. Montgomery presided at the coffee urn.
