' I ST' VALENTINES DAY Came and Went Yesterday With Observance According to Time-Honored Custom. PRETTY CHURCH RECEPTIONS. Eatertalnmeats by First Presbyterian aad First Baptist Coazrefatioas Were Uaiqne aad Plesslax Eejoya . MeMnsIcal Proframmes. St Valentine's Day! when Cupid held high carnival, came and went yesterday in much the same manner as in yeara gone by. In former times it was the custom for the ardent swain to send to his lady love and vice versa; a missive of more or less elabarate de sign and containing verses more or less suitable to the spirit of the occasion.! But this custom,, like many others, is found to be fast passing away with the progresai Tenets of the age and now from one to another instead of the old fashioned valentine is a "token of more- substantial nature and not anonymous ly sent And much more'acceptable, it might be added, for there are few women -who do not prefer a box of candy or a bouquet of violets or roses to the most gorgeous tpscimen of card board, celluloid or anaemic verse. The indefatigable small boy was also on band with his comic valentine. These were strictly up-to-date this year. The pictures on them were often bad very bad and the verses were even worse. But the small boy is no art critic and the pictures and verse were to his liking and ha bought in flicted them on his friends and nobody! is the worse for it Last night as usual there were many private valentine parties and recep tions aa well as those more of a public nature. ' Perhaps one of the most elaborate and highly enjoyed events of the latter nature was the reception last night in Abbie Chadbourn Memorial Hall at the First Presbyterian church. It was very largely attended and was beautiful, beyond description. The decorations were in pink and ever greens artistically arranged with hearts of the same color. During the progress of the recep tion, which lasted from 8 to 11 o'clock, delightful refreshments were served. These consisted of ice creams and cakes in heart designs and in other forms appropriate to the day. ! There was also a delightful pro gramme of musical selections in the auditorium, which waa rendered with splendid effect Miss Mary Cole sung in splendid voice "I Cannot Help Be ing JLioved," composed by Clayton Johns. Mrs. W. L. Latta also charm ingly rendered "Bonnie Sweet Bessie" and responded to an encore with "My Old Kentucky Home." Miss Clara Woodward also aang in captivating manner "Time, It Will Tell," a com position by H. W. Petrie. Miss Lizzie Ktrkham also entertained anlendidlv with a number of instrumental solos. Miss Amelia Bellamy was chairman of the general committee of arrange ments and the special departments were in charge of ladies as follows : Chocolate Mrs. E. C. Holt and Mrs. Warren 8. Johnson. Cake Mrs. George. ; Harries, Miss Martha Williams, Mrs. R. C. De Rosset Miss Fanny Taylor and Miss Kate O'Hanlon. The committeess were assisted in a general way and very ably by Mrs. W. H.. Northrop, Mrs. H.O. McQueen, Mrs. R. W. Hicks, Miss Sallie Jack son, Miss Mary Oroswell, Miss Atha Hicks, Miss Agnes McQueen, Miai Re na Johnson, Mrs. T. 0. Lewis, Miss Eiisa Howell and Miss Maggie Brown. The reception was altogether one of the most pleasing church, functions given in Wilmington in many years. At tbs First Baptist Church. A sprightly programme was ren dered by the Girls' Guild of the First Baptist church last night to a fair and appreciative audience.! Miss Jennie Stanland gave a piano solo in good style. Miss Sallie Oldham recited and was complimented with a hearty en- cere, tattle Miss Ila Rountree ren dered a piano solo and answered an enthusiastic recall. Miss Isabel Barr sang the "Owl Song" with pleasing effect! The little comedy "Gossip" in one act was rendered to the delight of the house by Misses Louise K. White, Cora Meredith, Ethel Holden, Mary Belle Taylor, Rosa Heredith and Lil lian Johnson. Many requests came u to have the young ladies repeat the programme, which they kindly con sented to do next Friday night in con nection with the Novelty Club's en tertainment at the same place.
