Miss Hatcher's Entertainment
The PAVILION dance given by Miss
Ethel Hatcher last Friday evening
at the beautiful country home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Il. II. Hatch
er, on the Mt. Pleasant pike, was
one of the most delightful social
functions that Columbia society has
ever had the pleasure Of attending.
Miss Hatcher, with that charming
grace and hospitality for which she
Is so Justly noted, received her
guests in the spacious parlors, which
were prettily bedecked in floral dec
Orations, and brilliantly illumina-
ted. The hOnorees of the OCCASION
Miss Florence Whiteside, of Chat
tanoOga, Miss Margaret McEwen, of
Nashville, and Misses Cornelia
Jones end Olivia Barrow, of Column
bia-assisted Miss Hatcher in re-
ceiviDg. Early in the evening the
scene changed from the house to the
outside, where artificial lights en-
HANGED the beauty of the lovely
lawn. Upon a large Pavilion, which
had been erected for the occasion,
the merry party gathered, and
there, to the strains of sweet music,
several hours were given to the
graceful dance. MyrIads of brill
liant lights scattered over the lawn
lent an enchantment to the scene,
and TO complete the picture, there
could be seen, here ana there, tete-
a-tete parties seated on rustic seats
beneath the spreading forest trees.
a N n "a oil ni
froshments were served. When
time, in its unheeding flight, had
begun to mark off the hours of
another day, the merry guests re-
luctantly dispersed and bade fare
we'll to the happy scene. The enter
tainment in its every detail was per-
feet, and altogether a more enjoy
able evening could not have been
spent
The Zion Social Club was enter
tanned last Friday evening by Mrs.
John F. Stephenson and Miss Effie
Laurie. The occasion was a delight
full one and heartily enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Stephenson's entertainments
have always been noted for their
elegance and bounteous hospitality,
and this one in particular was charm
ing in every detail. The beautiful
lawn was illuminated by vari colOred
lanterns, and strains of sweet music
made by string band stationed in
the hallway leat enjoyment TO the
occasion. The guests were received
in most gracious manner by Miss
Laurie. The spacious parlors were
handsomely decorated, the prevail
ing colors being green and white.
The attendance was the largest of
the season. Besides the regular club
members, there were many present
from Columbia, Mt. Pleasant and
Cross Bridges. Elaborate and deli
cate refreshments were served dur
ing the evening, the frappe bowl
being presided over by Mrs. Preston
Fleming A fishing party was an
interesting feature of the evening.
Each gentleman was led to the edge
of miniature crystal lake, bordered
by beautiful lilies, where he found a
fair maiden with fish rod dangling
in this pool of destiny. Her partner
as he peered over the shoulder of the
young lady who had corresponding
number, beheld his divinity and his
fate was sealed. In a grotto near
the lake was a wild man of Borneo,
who told fortunes, danced and "cut
queer, curious and comical capers. )
Telegram writing was another fea
ture; blank telegram messages were
distributed, and each guest wrote a
message of ten words, each word be-
ginning with the initial of the word
Manchester" The amount of wis
dom and worry shown in the writing
of the messages caused much merri
ment. The small hours of the morn
ing were well nigh spent when th,
parting guests babe their hospitablt
hostess goodnight.
