celebrate Thanksgiving in proper spirit.
Apropos of Thanksgiving, the Market
held by the ladies of the First Presby-
terrain church Tuesday must have re-
lieved many housekeepers of cake-bak-
ing for Thursday, for although an
abundant supply was on hand, Wednes-
day noon saw ''clean sweep" not only
OF cake, but pickles, preserves and jel-
lies of which there was fine display.
testifying to the exceptional ability of
the housekeepers who had made dona-
tions. Much interest attached to this
occasion because it is the first time dur
ing its long existence the "Old Blue"
has come before the buying public. The
Remembrance" table held some inter-
esting articles. An inkstand was sent
by the niece of DR.. McMullen, the first
pastor, and was purchased and turned
over to DR., Park for the use of the pas
tors of the First Presbyterian church.
Mrs. l.. G. French is making her
home in Birmingham. Mrs. French
has originated many fine things for Bir-
mingham, just as she did for Knoxville.
The Woman's Club owes it's enthusiastic
beginning-they organized with 200
members, we have been told-and
much of its phenomenal growth to her
efforts. A Birmingham club woman
said recently, "The women of Birming-
ham think they can't do anything with
out Mrs. French, and the men know
they can't" It's good to hear such
pleasant things of our fellow-towns-
woman.
The cake walk arranged by the
Kings's Daughters for the benefit of
the free kindergarten, took place
Thursday evening at the market hall.
1t was a grand success from every point
of view and was much enjoyed by the
large crowd present. Charlie Burns
and Jennie Netherland were the win
ming couple.
A former Knoxville girl and matron,
Mrs. Joseph Shields, nee Annie Lut-

The inmates of Mount Rest Home
were entertained at dinner on Thanks
giving Day by Gen. and Mrs. Pickle.
Ten old ladies, whose aggregate age
is 1853 years, sat down to the elegant re-
past. Two of the old ladies were una
BILE to be present and their dinner was
seut to them by the thoughtful hostess.
This afternoon, from three to five,
Miss Temple tenders reception
to about sixty guests in honor of Mrs.
DR.. Walsh, of Washington, and Mrs.
W. D. Beard, who leaves shortly for
Nashville. From five to seven some of
the younger society contingent are
hidden to meet Miss Walsh.
At the recent Alabama State Fair no
finer impression was made by any WIS.,
itors than by Miss Lucy G. Crozier and
Miss Mary B. Temple, who spoke dur
ing the Congresses which were such a
successful feature. We need never be
ashamed when Knoxville sends such
representatives abroad.
Mrs. DR.. Walsh and daughter, Miss
Jeanne, of Washington, D. c., arrived
on Thursday to make quite visit to
Mrs. E. S. McClung. Mrs. Walsh was
greatly admired in old Knoxville of the
'70's as Miss Jeanne Patterson, of Mis-
sissippi.
1t is encouraging to whist lovers, and
respecters, to find the younger married
ladies of Knoxville are still ambitious
to perfect themselves in this game of
science. The Whist Club met with Mrs.
Henry Hudson in her lovely West End
home, Tuesday.
The Summer Night Club, y which,
despite the death of summer perpet-
yates the memory of past summer de-
lights by retaining its suggestively eu-
phonious name, gave charming dance
in the Woman's Building on Tuesday
evening.
