The Colonial Tea given by the Monday Club this week in the Town Hall was a huge success, socially, entertainingly and financially. The entertainment was a delight and well worth twice the price of admission. The Spanish dance by Mrs. Olney was beautifully done and merited the applause given and this did not cease until Mrs. Olney responded the encore. The Folk dance by Misses Alice Wenzel and Irene Langley and the minuet with song by Miss Alice Wenzel were splendidly executed and they kindly responded to the encore. The violin solo by Mrs. Spackman was greatly enjoyed as was the duet by Mrs. Arthur Young and Mrs. Spackman, and the farce entitled "Sewing for the Heathen." The entertainment was in charge of Mrs. Spackman and Mrs. Arthur Young who worked untiringly to make it a success and have received thanks from all. The tables contained delicious refreshments and were well patronized and the Colonial Tea given by the Monday Club under the supervision of Mrs. Emma Young was pronounced a great success.

A very handsome hydrangea in heavy bud and gorgeous bloom, a basket of fruit and a big cake with eighty colored candles were the unusual decorations at the plate of the president of the Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church yesterday at their monthly meeting at the vestry. Mrs. Sarah E. Lane, the recipient of the honors and the congratulations has been president of the society for 27 years. Mrs. Lane seems likely to break the record of her predecessor in the office, Mrs. Lydia Fisk, who was so honored for 34 years. Her many friends unite to say, "Many happy returns."

There was a large attendance in the Baptist church Sunday evening to hear Rev. Dr. Stait, a missionary of India. Had the evening been pleasant the auditorium would have been crowded. Everyone felt amply repaid for any effort expended to listen to Dr. Stait's lecture and see the marvelous pictures he exhibited. All came away with a far more intelligent idea of what has been accomplished through Christian work in India. Dr. Stait has been there 33 years, as a medical missionary and having traveled extensively knows India well. It was very generous of him to come to Hampton as he only lectures in large cities and his time up to June, when he returns to India, is almost all taken up but he was so pleased with his reception here he may give another lecture if he possibly can. This will be a rare opportunity which it is hoped everyone will embrace. West End Club Meetings
