Reception for Ladies Auxiliary of St. Aloysius Society


The Scranton Tribune, May 26, 1897, Morning,
Avoca
One of the prettiest and most sociable events of the season was the May reception given by the members of the Ladies Auxiliary, St. Aloysius society, in the Sarsfleld Opera house on Friday evening. The pretty auditorium was gayly bedecked with flowers and plants and the costumes of the ladles blended in harmony with the delicate colorings of the surroundings. The members of the organization left nothing undone to make the affair a grand success. John Buckley acted as chairman and made a few opening remarks, after which the following programme was rendered: Vocal solo Anthony Ryder; solo, Miss Lizzie Hines; recitation, Miss Mame Murphy, Archbald; duet, Misses Loughney and Fitzhenry, Minooka; recitation, William Jennings. Supper was immediately served in the club rooms, during which time the Columbian orchestra led the merry dancers on the upper floor.
