gene F. Ware entertained the members
of the Atlantean club and the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution very
delightfully."- Thursday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Johnston.
The rooms were all periodically dec
GRATED with flags; large ones were
draped between the doors and smaller
ones arranged over the windows and
mantles. In one room a large flag COW
cred one side of the wall. and in the
center was a picture of George Wash
ington. The ladies were then given
sheets of paper on which they were to
copy the picture. After they were COM
pleted they were pinned on the flag
around the original picture, and the
judges requested to select the best one.
After due elaboration they said that
the pictures were all so good that IL
would be impossible to make choice,
and that each one should be given
prize. Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Ware
were equal to the occasion as they had
already prepared prize for each guest
in the shape of Perry prints of Colonial
scenes, prettily mounted. Refreshments
in two courses were served on trays
through the rooms.
