MRS. C.E. GARDNER on last Wednesday evening, tendered a reception to her music pupils and their parents, and it was one of the most pleasant social events this season. The spacious grounds of the GARDNER residence were illuminated with Chinese lanterns, and the K.P. Band furnished music throughout the evening. Elegant refreshments were served in the music room, after which there was an elaborate display of firewords enjoyed alike by young and old. MRS. GARDNER on this occasion added to her reputation as a charming hostess, which is second only to her ability as a skillful musician.

MRS. GARDNER had arranged to present the prizes to the successful contestants at her recent musical recital, but by an error in shipping they failed to arrive in time. There were three prizes offered, which the judges at the recital awarded to EDNA WAIGHT, violin; LOUIS HURST, vocal and RAYMOND HURST, piano. MRS. GARDNER decided to give the same prize to each and had ordered them beautiful golden chairs for prizes.
