Born to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B. Park,
of Kendallville, Ind, Dec 81, 1S99,-a
son.
The friends of Mr.. Shep Todd will be
pleased to learn of his safe arrival in
Los Angeles, California.
On Tuesday, Jan. 9th, Mr.. James
Walter Young and Miss Harriet
Mcclellan, two we'll known and popu-
lar young people, will be made man
and wife. They will be at home to
their friends after Feb, 1st, at eagle
Bend" Clinton, Tenn.
In honor of her guest, Miss Stacy
Earnest, of Atlanta, Miss Martha
Ijams entertained at two small. but
very delightful card parties, Tuesday
and Thursday nights of this week.
Miss Earnest is we'll known in Knox
vile, and is charmingly remembered
by the number of friends made during
her past visits.
The 10th Century Club, Memphis, we
are pleased to announce, is behind
Knoxville times. The 10Th Century
Club has just been made the grateful
recipient of brand new, up-to-date
telephone. The Woman's Building
and The Echo have each received two
phones. But they will try not to show
undue elation at their superior supply
of electricity. Good luck, more of it,
to the 10th Century.
1900 seems to be responsible for all
sorts OF turn overs. 1t is many years
since Ossoli, mother of southern club
dom, contented herself with func-
ton pure ct simple" It's little bit
like fish without sauce, or toast minus
the wine, for these ''litterati" to give
themselves up unblushingly to the
pleasure of the moment without sim
gle suggestion of "shop." But mighty
nice 1t was, to meet the Ossolites on
"2Oth Century Day" in a genuine old
fashioned social way.
Mrs Joseph E. Borches, who has so
recently set up wine and fig tree"
of her own with a partner) gave
lovely dinner New Years night to her
nephew, Mr.. Wallace Reeder, of Belle
fonte, Pa. Mrs. Borches' superb array
OF bridal gifts with the ''shiny" as the
children say, not yet worn off, added
to an exquisite taste. lnrndnced a result
altOgsSdef charming. Pink bridemaid
roses, and the. same satisfactory tint,
flushing bon bons, ices and place cards,
gave just the roseate glow, that is the
legitimate accompaniment to youth
and love-
The cold weather, with its accom-
paniment of snow and ice, added a
stronger zest to the enjoyment of
the Christmas holidays. Frozen pipes,
furnaces unequal to the emergency
thrust upon them, pavements that
were we'll adapted to the skating
mania, thermometers stuck fast in the
region of zero, were powerless all COM
bined, to lower the temperature of gay
society. Dinner, dance, reception, lunch
con followed fast and furious in the
social world from Dec. 25th '99, to the
beginning of the century-how odd it
sounds-apd even yet it seems impos-
sible to stop going.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Harrison treated
some of the social dignitaries to a
Christmas tree one night last week.
I'm told on good authority that the
beneficiaries were as greedy over the
goodies" Sanity handed out to them
as children Of smaller growth, on SIM
liar occasions. Sanity was mine host"
J. B. H., and they say he out-did
his honor of sleigh and reindeer
lame, so well did he look and act the
part. The Harrison home and the
host and hostess therein, are we'll
known to Knoxyillians, and the asser-
ton coming straight from the lips of
lucky guest who, behind the dignity
of deacon conceals, it is plain, a child's
heart and taste for the rollicking and
informal--his assertion that it was the
finest and the jolliest and the bestest
ea-party, not function, Che empha-
sises) ever he saw" will find no doubt
ers.
