dence of e. l.. Morris. Miss Hattie,
the accomplished daughter of the host,
had charge of the program. Ali the
elite of Plymouth turned out to honor
the young gentlemen, who were profuse
in their expressions of admiration for
our charming girls. Quite number
of young ladies from surrounding
towns we're ,Iesent. While it was in
deed difficult to determine which should
be awarded the honor of being prize
beauty, it seemed to be the consensus
of opinion finally that Miss Stella Tabor
of Argos should receive first prize. The
reception consisted of two sessions, one
from 2:30 p. m. to $3.50 and the second
from p. m. to 5. Refreshments
were served in the spacious din
ing room which was decorated with
great piles of beautiful carnations.
Several members of the club furnished
music which it was gratifying to note
was at least equaled by the renditions
of some of our local musicians.
