with the pure tinted beauties, the effect
of which was heightened by single tail
vase at one end filed with long stemmed
niphius roses and white butterfly lilies. In
this room stood the sweet and pretty
young bride and her handsome bridegroom
receiving the welcome and the congratula-
tions of their friends. Beyond in the din
ing room were pink roses--roses in bowls
and in masses everywhere Just opposite
the folding doors was the punch bowl in
a bed of pink roses with an outside crown
of palms. A rose bowl it appeared to be,
filled with champagne punch of most
enticing flavor. Here. also We're served
salads and ices by charming coterie Of
ladies, who added a piquant flavor to these
dainties, quick repartee as well as COR
dial welcome.
AS has been said before, there was a
crush, the rooms being filled with repre-
sentatives Of Houston's very best. In re-
ceiving Mr. and Mrs. Mearum were as
sisted by Mr.. and Mrs w. C. Conner, Jr.,
Mrs. r. S. Lovett, Mrs jeff n. Miller, Mrs.
John j. Cannon, Mrs. w. 6. Van Week,
Mrs. E. B. Parker Mrs. Frank Lumln,
Miss Porter, Misses Frances and Edythe
Giraud, Miss Delgado, 1tiss Ella Smith,
Miss Effe Jones, Miss Gibbons and Miss
Milly Dun BILE.
Mrs. Charles r. Cummings and children
spent the summer on lovely island,
Sylt, in the North Sea. where they en-
joyed the distinction of being the only
Americans on the Island. and showed their
appreciation of the fact by proudly hoist
Ing the Stars and Stripes over their tent
on the beach. AS 1t is not often given to
Texans to go to the North Sea, their
knowledge of that far off country being
generally confined TO what they learn at
school and to picturesque ramblers OF
some travellers. to amusing tales of whales
that live there. as told by Sir Gilbert sui
livan, an extract from Mrs. Cummings
last letter would be of interest. She says
that "Sylt is famous German resort. The
air of the island is said to be a balm for
every woe, | can't vouch for this. but
do know that II blew all mine away while
] remained there. To the lover of the
ancient world the island proves of great
interest. being the home of the quaint and
honest Frieslander. and having been.
many centuries ago. the country OF the
Huhns. the ancestors OF the Anglo Saxon
race. Occasionally a grave OF this an
cient people is opened and many curious
things found. The island Is utterly unlike
anything we have at home. The beach is
somewhat like that of Galveston, but
wider At the back Of 1t. facing the sea,
are high sand dunes that are very pic
turesque. The beach, called here the
strand. is llHeu Win gay RESTAURANTS,
reading halls and various little shops.
while the strand itself is covered with
tents and basket chairs. all covered with
flags OF every description and color. The
sand is utilized for building castles with
moats around them. and here In these
sand castles guarded by the meats, we
sit or lie In the sun and sleep. 1t Is
unique and interesting sight" Mrs. Cum
mings went with her little family from
Sylt to Hamburg, where she had de-
lightful stay with some old friends OF hers.
Then to Dresden where she placed her
daughter. Hazel at school or Dresden
she says: There Is no more beautiful
spot on earth. This dear little chaste Bo-
hernia. with its American. English. Rus,
sian and Scotch colonies" From Dresden
Mrs Cummings returned to Hamburg TO
make preparations for her home coming.
which is one that Is looked forward to by
her friends with very much pleasure.
