The Relief Society of the Second Ward scored a complete success in its Progressive Lunch party at Richfield recentlv. The affair was held on the lawn of I. K. Wright, which had been placed at the disposal of the Society. The lawn was brilliantly lighted with electric lights. Tables were arranged on the lawn.' Each table was laid for ten persons. The progressive part of it consisted of the lunch being served in five courses, one at each table. At first table the course was served and the second course at the next table and so on until the fifth and last one was reached. ' The first ten at table were allowed ten minutes in which to dispose of the tempting viand? offered at this table when the dinner bell summoned them to move to the second, when ten more took their places at table number, one. This continued during the evening. -- The menu was all that could be desired. The most delicate viands were served and the ladies who prepared it are deserving of all praise for the daintiness that characterized it. The band paraded Main street to attract attention to the lawn social after which it discoursed music on the lawn while the lunch was being served. The mandolin and guitar club was present and rendered several pretty selections, Jonathan Lloyd of the local music firm had an Edison Phonograph stationed on the lawn and did excellent service in entertaining the people. In addition to the above musical talent a splendid program of vocal and instrumental music was rendered. Prof. Wilcox rendered a violin solo, 'The Mocking Bird'- - with variations. This was so well rendered that an encore was demanded, and Mr. Wilcox responded with Schuman's "Traumerie," which was- - aisu 3picuufuxjr uuucj - iuiss Lr?iva Stewart sang a beautiful solo entitled trA Dream," which showed the beautiful tone quality of her voice.to perfection.
