ual activities incident to Christmas,
have caused almost a cessation of social
gayeties. However, there are num-
Der of charming affairs arranged to &C.
cur just before and just after New
Year.
Mrs. Alex Allison will spend Christ
mas with her daughter, Pattie, in Gin
cinnati, where the latter is in school,
Mrs. Chambers and Miss Aiken, of
Chattanooga, both so well known here,
were in the city recently for few days.
Mrs. M. e. Lloyd will soon leave for
quite an extended trip-either to Flor
ida or Texas. Her busy, cheerful pres
ence will be missed greatly.
Mrs. Metcalf, of Memphis, will visit
her parents early in January. 1t will
indeed be pleasure to welcome for even
brief visit, sweet Juliet White.
Miss johnson, of jacksonville, has
returned home, after brief visit, and
her sister, Mrs. Carrie Galloway, will
join her in few days for the holiday
season.
The Misses Coffin, who are in Cincin-
natl, one as pupil and the other as in
structor in the Misses Harbaugh school,
will not return home, as the holidays
are short.
1t is with much pleasure that we well
come back to US, Mr.. and Mrs. Ran
some. Wherever they go, this charm
ing couple leave the impress of their
charming personality.
Relatives of Mrs. Elizabeth Cooke
are in receipt of rather discouraging
news from her. She has not rallied, as
it was hoped she would this long after
her accident, and her condition remains
almost unchanged.
A party of ladies and gentlemen have
planned quite hunting trip, to occur
in few days. We wonder if lucky
shots in the November shooting gallery,
have induced the fair sex to try their
hands at the sport?
This week will see the return home
of the merry-faced, happy-hearted boys
and gi1lG from heir various schools and
colleges. There is no feature of the
Christmas season more enjoyable than
the reunion of these young people with
home people and with each other.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Stamp will pass
through the city this week, en- route to
Mobile, where they spend their winters
every year. Mr.. Stamp is well known
in Knoxville, being prominent marble
man of Hawkins county, and Mrs. Stamp
during her visit to friends, has endear-
ed herself to all who have met her.
Letters from Miss Margaret Lewis,
tell of a visit crowded full of interest
ing occasions in Baltimore, Md. She has
had the pleasure of visiting, under the
kindly direction of Mrs. Young, the Of
fees of Baltimore's leading newspa-
pers. Mrs. Young, it is interesting to
know, is the mother of James Young,
the actor, and is herself a newspaper
woman of prominence.
Miss Ida Ross entertained on Satur-
day last with very delightful informal
afternoon at-home, about twelve of her
friends, both married and unmarried,
being present. A few winters ago this
charming style of entertainment was
very popular in Knoxville, and we trust
it will be revived. 1t is too pleasant a
manner of meeting ones friends in
real social way to fall into disuse. Again,
what has become of the lovely, old
fashioned "spend the day. custom? Are
we too busy, are-perish the thought
would we be unable to stand so much of
each other?
In Honor of Miss Graves.
