• COLONIAL MUSICAL.
Musical Coterie Invite Limited
Number of Friends to Enjoy
’ , Pleasures of Washington
V, Birthday Meeting.
The distinguishing event of the
week in society’s realm was a
very cleverly planned and charm
ingly executed Washington birth
day entertainment, giverrby the
membe ;s of the Musical Coterie
M^he lomeof Mrs. J. H. Mc
Hugh. The coterie has served a
good purpose in diversifying the
pleasures of clubdom, and though
it came as a departure from the
purely social and sought to in
culcate and develop love of mu
sic, it has been all the more suc
cessful in enlisting the interest
and enthusiasm of its members.
The McHugh home is beauti
fully arranged and furnished and
the national colors, which were
everywhere evident in the stars
and stripes of miniature flags and
drapings, did well please the eye
and stir the heart as the day in
question was recalled so forcibly
to mind.
Washingtonian events are ever
pleasing, for in what garb are
women more beautiful than in
AP1Q 1 OYYUrna UTlfVi wrvxirrl/'»Y»r\/l
hair, and upon this occasion Mar
tha Washington and sister dames
could hardly have received more
graciously than did these devo
tees of Hermes.
In the hallway two pretty
misses, Beatrice McHugh and
Laura Mosby, dispensed a re
freshing punch.
e'Stations to the affair
quite limited, but were
rally accepted, and those
mt enjoyed thoroughly the
excellent program rendered, con
cerning which only one regret
can be offered in the absence of
Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse, whose
failure to be present by reason of
illness was a disappointment to
all.
The opening number, “Stars
and Stripes,” that stirring com
position of the great Sousa, was
well rendered by Mesdames A.
D. Holland, C. W. Beard and W.
A. O’Neal.
Miss Pearl Martin, who is
gifted with a sweet voice, sang
“Alice, Where Art Thou?”
Mrs. Walter Martin demon
strated herself a minstress of the
violin in her intrepretation of a
melody in F.
One of the most enjoyed num
bers was the instrumental duet
“Sounds From the Ohio” by
Mesdames George Sink and W.
A. O’Neal, both of whom are
accomplished performers.
Martial music was in- keeping
with the day, especially this
present year, when the far East
witnesses the cannonading of
hostile fleets and “extras” herald
the successes of Japan. This
patriotism that finds expression
, in win* times was evident in the
I hearty applause accorded Mrs.
Wm. McMullen’s song “America
i Forever,” which was repeated
at the conclusion of the program.
The singer has a good voice,
clear and capable of expression,
and her song was the “hit” of
the evening.
Mrs. H. Bragg recited in a
pleasing manner the story of a
horse race, in which to the win
ner fell the hand of a fair one
for whom two had been rivals,
entitled “Old Ace.” The read
ing was exciting and Mrs. Bragg
brought out its full power in a
•graceful way.
Mrs. George Smith followed
jin a solo, “Polonaise,” that was
/well received. She gives ex
pression to her notes and is re
garded a very fine performer.
Mrs. C. E. Crook sang very
sweetly that old favorite, “Com
ing Thro’ the Rye.”
An instrumental duet by Mes
dames Ike Goldman and J. H.
McHugh was very prettily ren
dered and was followed by the
concluding number, “Columbia,”
sung in chorus by the members
of the coterie.
The program folders were very
neat and appropriate, for on the
front pf the cover were embossed
a harp and mistletoe upon scroll
of music and upon the back of
the cover .was a picture of the
immortal George Washington,
the program being tied with red,
white and blue ribbon.
The refreshments were nicely
served and very enjoyable, con
sisting of turkey sandwiches,
crackers, chicken salad, pickles,
coffee, Neapolitan cream and de
licious cake.
The evening could hardly have
been made a more pleasant one
for the invited friends of the
members, and the hostess and
7 I
her assistants, proved them
selves very gracious and suc
cessful entertainers.

BISHOP BROWN
STIRS BOSTON.
Episcopal Clergymen Deplore
I Criticism of Arkansas Bishop
Upon Negro Race.
Boston, Feb. 22.—Leading
Episcopal clergymen in the dio
j cese of Massachusetts deplore
| the severe criticism of the negro
race in the South by Rev. Wm:
M. Brown, D. D., bishop of Ark
i ansas.
!
At a special meeting in the
school room of St. Augustine’s
| church Rev. Samuel G. Babcock,
Archdeacon of Boston; Rev. Fr.
Edward Osborne, superior of the
j order of St. John the Evangel
ist; Rev. Father C. N. Field, who
I has charge of the work among
colored Episcopalians here, and
! others joined in a protest against
I the remarks of Bishop Brown.
| A letter was read from Bishop
■ Lawrence in which he stated
that Bishop Brown’s views did
not meet with the approval of
the Episcopal church North and
| South.
The bishop of Arkansas, who
has been heard of in the interest
of missions in his diocese, has
1 4 -P/~vvi Lrivwn T v"\ n n r\ /-l /d v*/^nr< n 4

Cambridge he expressed regret
that his utterances had given
offense, but said he had spoken
only the truth.
CLARKE LEAVES
JEFF TO HIS FATE.
Senator James P. Clarke left
! Sunday for Washington, says the
Little Rock Gazette, to resume
his senatorial duties, reaching
there in time to vote in the sen
ate Tuesday for the ratification
of the Panama canal treaty.
Senator Clarke’s brief visit home
was utterly without political sig
nificance so far as outward ap
| pearances go, and the impression
that he is taking no hand in the
Democratic gubernatorial con
test is strengthened by these in
dications. The senator certainly
has not actively participated in
: the current campaign, and has
apparently successfully resisted
i any effort to draw him into it.
In political circles the supposi
tion is that Senator Berry will
not actively engage in the con
test over the governorship. That
■ is, he will not leave his seat in
the senate to come to Arkansas
in order to take a hand.

JUDGE BOURLAND.
. Jeffie had a little judge,
With necktie white as snow,
And everywhere that Jeffie went,
That judge was sure to go;

The people all now cried,
’Cause Jeffie’s got the loaves,
you know,
The knowing ones replied.

ffi FOR Y

/IS reasons—and three only—why
you have your clothes made to

1. Because you can afford to
Qj pay big prices to good tailors.
jSS 2. Because you can’t afford
this and are willing to wear
da cheap clothes from cheap tail
3. Because you’ve never found
i ready made clothes to fit you,
•JK3 to look stylish on you, or
LO give you good service.
If we would prove to you that
the ready-for-service apparel
^ made by Alfred Benjamin & Go’s.
EjfS expert New York tailors is equal
i in every detail to fine custom
s' made at about half the custom
made price, wouldn’t it help your
: IY] bank account, your appearance
; K/f and your self-respect?
^ LO These garments are certainly
i KW worth your investigation. If
LU they’ve solved the clothes prob
! FOT lem for a million well dressed
jkl£ , Americans, why shouldn’t they
j [/I solve it for you ?
; Very Truly yours.
