Many of Winston Salem's young
people were made glad several days
ago by receiving an invitation to the
recs ption which was given by Mr..
and Mrs Clement Manly, FIR diy even
ing, to their guests, Kisses Gray and
Buford, of Richmond, and Miss Jones,
of Danville.
The invitations were very unique
and one would have thought them
selves among the shades Of our poeti-
cal forefathers, when we found so
many sitting with paper and pencil
answering their invitations in rhyme.
The young men answered the ques-
tion, "Where have you been Billy
Boy, Billy Boy?' And the young
ladies', "W here are you going my pret-
ty naid?' The poems were sent in
Acknowledgement and acceptance OF
the Invitations.
At the appointed hour, the guests
began 10 arrive at the elegant colonial
hospitality always reigns supreme.
Mr. and Mrs. Manly, Misses Gray,
Buford and Jones received in the east
drawing room. The spacious apart
ments were thrown in one and about
10 o'clock all assembled to hear the
poems read by Prof. ]. J. Blair. All
styles Of poetry, from the ridiculous
to the sublime, were heard and were
greatly enjoyed, though Mr. Blair
than they sounded. First ladies prize
was awarded to Miss Abbie Caldwell
and the second to Miss O'Hanlon; first
gentlemen's prize to Prof. Blair and
second to Mr.. Henry Roam, who held
the floor for some time, and to the de-
light of his friends made witty and
interesting speech, after which came
great applause.
The prizes were presented by Mr.. r
B. Jones, who rendered an apology for
not writing poem, saying that he and
MT. Manly applied to MI Bob Mosley
(poet laureate of Winston) about the
middle of the week, but Mr.. Moseley
already had more Invitations to an
swer than he could attend to before
Friday evening.
Congratulations were rendered to
the fortunate prize winners, after
which the guests were invited into the
beautifully decorated dining hall to
partake Of the delicious and tempting
menu The decorations were of pink
carnations and ferns.
Later the guests assembled once
more into the drawing rooms where
all was gaity until after mid
night, when they bid adeau to
the charming host and hostess and
also to the fair young ladies who
aided them in extending their genial
hospitalities.
Those in attendance were as fol-
lows:
