IN HONOR
OF FIFTIETH
NNIVERSARY
Mrs. W. S. Leete Entertains St. Luke's
Parish in Honor of Father W. S.
I.eete, Rector of Episcopal
Church.
Coates' hall has often been the
.scene of many very delightful social
g-atheiings, tut none more pleasing
than that held there last evening",
when Mrs. W. S. I.eete entertained
the members of St. Luke's parish in
honor of the fiftieth anniversary of
Father W. S. Leete, rector of St.
Luke's Episcopal church. It was an
occasion in which the spirit of enjoy
ment and sociability found its most
pleasing- expression and the large
number of guests present were de
lighted with the charming- manner in
which thev were entertained. The hall
proper, where the dancing was en
joyed for several hours, was arranged
with the bright and attractive Japa
nese lanterns and made a pleasing ap
peal ance. The ante-room where the
refreshments were served was deco
rated in the color scheme of red
throughout, red hearts and cupids in
honor of St. Valentine's day, predom
inating in the decorations and trans
forming the room into a veritable bow
er of beauty. Here the small tables
were prettily decorated with the red
hearts anel cupids, while red candles
and bouquets of red carnations added
their touch to the scene. From the
serving- room a cozy corner had been
prepared in which those who desired,
might spend a few moments in rest.
and rugs and easy chairs made the
appearance of this nook very homelike
indeed. In the ladies' cloak room ev
ery arrangement for the comfort of
the guests had been looked after hy
the hostess, which was appreciated to
the fullest extent by the jruests.
In the receiving line were the Rt.
Eev. Arthur Williams, bishop of Ne
braska, and Mrs. Williams, Father and
Mrs. W. S. Leete and Madame Leete,
and the seats of the receiving party
were very prettily decorated in the
color scheme of red.
Promptly at 8:30 the grand march
was sounded by the Holly orchestra.
and led by Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Falter, th guests moved through the
hull to the catchv strains of the march.
The occasion being the birthday an
niversary of Mrs. Falter as well as
Father Leete, she was selected to lead
the march in honor of the event. Fol
lowing" the march the company pro
ceeded to enjoy the evening in dancing
and the occasion was one which will
be long: remembered, bv those in at
tendance as being most pleasant in
every wav. ror tne older members ot
the party a Virginia reel as well as a
puadrill provided a great deal of mer
riment and brought back other days
when the members of the party had
enjoyed similar events, while for the
younger folks the catchy one-step and
waltzes proved most entertaining. The
costumes of the ladies in attendance
were very beautiful and made a most
striking: picture of attractiveness.
During- the evening- a number of the
old-time songs, "Annie Laurie," "Way
Down Upon the Swanee River" and
"America" were sung by the members
of the party, which added much to the
enjoyment of the occasion and proved
a delightful feature of the evening;.
The refreshments were in keeping
with the St. Valentine season and the
dainty mariscino cherry hearts on the
ice cream served to carry out the
spirit of the occasion, while tiny motto
hearts of candy were served as favors
The occasion throughout was one
that was most enjoyable to everyone
present to join Father Leete in the
observance of his anniversary, and it
was the universal expression that they
might enjoy many more such happy
events with the genial rector and his
family in the future and trusting that
the future years might deal gently
with them. In remembrance of the
happy event Father Leete was pre
sented with a purse containing $50 in
gold from the members of the parish
as a token of their esteem and respect
for his services for them in the church.
The presentation was made by Bishop
Williams, who spoke of the splendid
work of Father Leete in St. Luke's
parish and the pleasure that the oc
casion gave to him to be present with
the members of the church and Father
Leete in the celeb'-ation of the event.
Those in attendance from out of the
city were: Rt. Rev. Arthur L. Will
iams and Mrs. Williams, .Miss Ltnore
Williams, Dr. Roy Dodge arid Mi.-s
Violet Dodge, all of Omaha, and Mi--Adams
of Lincoln.
