ing at Woodland Beach.

Club gave most delightful reception !
at the home of Mrs. George H. Ray
mond on Thursday evening last, under
the direction of the Social Committee
of the club, of which Mrs. Levi An
thony is chairman. 1t was the inten-
tion of the committee to make it more
of Lawn Fete, but before the even
ing sat in, the Weather Man changed
the condition of everything by sending
hard shower which soaked the ground
to degree that made it utterly i'm
practicable for lawn affair. In fact the
members of the social committee were
at the home of Mrs. Raymond all the
morning, arranging decorations, cozy
corners &C., and ere they had COM
pleted the beautiful effect, the rain
came and they were obliged to take
them under shelter: Fortunately they
had large spacious residence to de-
pend upon, and every effort was made
to carry out their plans in this direc-
tion. The evening while damp and
sultry was nevertheless favorable, and
while the lawn was not as elaborate in
decorations as they had hoped to make
it, it was surely a most delightful
scene.
There is no better home in town for
a reception than that of Mrs. George
H. Raymond. With everything so fresh
and green after the rain, the beautiful
lawn, under a array of variegated Ian
terms made up bewitching scene, and
despite the wet grass, many who did
not occupy the porch, or were comfort
ably situated in the parlor and library,
found their way to pleasant retreats
around and about "this little realm
of Fairyland.
AS soon as the guests entered and
removed their wearing apparel, they
were taken in hand by the Introducing
Committee and escorted to the parlor,
where they were cordially received by
Mrs. George H. Raymond, the hostess
and the officers of the Twentieth Cen
tury Club OF Smyrna-Mrs. Frank F.
Evans, president, Mrs. J. Harvey
Speakman and Mrs. T. H. Haynes,
vice Presidents; Miss Hettie Megear
and Miss Beulah Jefferson, secretar-
les, and Mrs. H. w. Tschudy, treas
urer.
All during the evening, Watkins
Orchestra discoursed music and did
much toward enlivening the occasion
with their popular airs. Once or twice
pleasant diversion was made in the
music by some sweet, cultured solos
rendered by Mrs. Paul Hesser, Phil
adelphia visitor to our town. Mrs
Raymond and the committee were
ever alert to see that every one was af
forded entertainment, and their pleas
ure greetings made the evening
cheerful one in every respect. Later
this same committee passed arounC
ice cream and assorted cakes, and
clever idea in the arrangement of tn
ice cream, was that the different layer
represented the club colors-pink
white and green.
