The reception given by Mrs. r. B. Morris
Monday afternoon was very pretty affair.
Mrs Morris entertainments always are
for that matter. The reception was in
honor of the hostess two slsters-Miss
Lucy Morris and Mrs. John Shearn--and
che receiving party consisted OF Mrs. N. S.
Medium, Mrs David Rice. Mrs. p. b.

with the Northern smilax which was artls-
