MRS. CARVER ENTERTAINs
The pleasant home OF Mrs. NJ. L. Gar
yer was the scene Of a unique entertain
ment last Wednesday. About fifty la
dies had been invited to bring thimbles
and needles and spend the hour. from
2:3o until o'clock with Mrs. Carver.
On arriving the guests found that the
hostess, with her usual practicability
and thoughtfulness for others, had pre-
pared two large bssketsful of carpet
rags, which the ladies' were requested
to sew for much-needed carpet at the
Children's Home. The guests divided in
10 two companies, and at once began a
vigorous attack upon the rags, fierce
rivalry arising between the two factions
as to which should accomplish the most
work. Merrily flew the tongues, while
the needles kept pace with them. as
slowly but surely the pile OF rags grew
smaller, and the pile of balls larger, until
wthen the hostess called for work TO be
laid aside both baskets were empty, and
the goodly array OF sewn rags showed
how Willingly the dainty fingers had
worked. During the afternoon the COM
pany enjoyed some delightful music
rendered on the piano, violin, flute and
cello, by Miss Mary Carver and her three
brothers. Mrs. HendTickson also played |
a beautiful piano solo. At O'Clock o de- |
hcious supper was served by four young |
ladies', after which the guests took their
had been delightful and congratuating |
leave, all agreeing that the afternoon
the hostess on iler happy thought of COM |
ointng pleasant social function with |
aid for worthy object. The /
idea was entirely Mrs. Garver's own /
