 'On Thursday afternoon the elegant new home Of MT. and Mrs. O. R. Hundley, on Madison street. was thrown open for the first time, to the Ladies' Afternoon Euchre club. The home is perfect in its appoint ments, and the refined and artistic Is de- picted everywhere, from the rich tints of the walls, delicate carving of the wood work, handsome stained glass window, with its figure of fascinating Circe to the massive furniture and dainty bric-a-brac ihe stairway was mass of ferns and palms, through whose greenery Circe peep ed. Flowers in vases and dorals were everywhere, and smilax entwined the pil- lars of the mantles, doorway and hall. Electric lights in tinted globes made the scene brilliant one.
 ''The guests of honor were Miss Griffin and Miss Woolley, who are visiting Mrs. Hundley, and are greatly admired for their personal and mental attractions. The ladies were pleased to be received by Mir Hundiey, as the gentlemen are usually conspicuous by their absence at the club meetings. He and his lovely wife are graceful and attentive as hosts
 AS the guests entered they were in- vited to partake of a refreshing glass of punch, served by Miss Olive Nuckkolls rom a novel and very beautiful punch bowl. It was block of ice about three feet high, clear as crystal, and frozen in the heart. just below the scooped out bowl. was bunch of pink carnations with small CT punches arranged here and there The clear crystal of the novel bowl. and spark ling amber of the punch. presented a p,t ture at once beautiful and artistic.

Before there was a final set clement the Southern railway took charge under the name of the Shelbyville and Bloomfield Railroad company.

Mrs. lcWa's Reelection.

The reelection of Mrs. Rebecca Douglass Lowe of Georgia as president of the gen. eral federation of woman's clubs will con- in national club life, and while the women of other sections have recognized that Mrs. Lowe'S administration has been more successful than any other since the organ ization of the federation the women of the south have realized that the club move Lowe's presidency an impetus that will be felt many years after the dawning of the new century. That this sentiment is not a sectional one is proven by the over whelming victory of Mrs. Lowes re-elec- tion. The recent announcement that she would not be candidate was received with great regret in all parts of the coun- try, but particularly among southern wo- men confident of Mrs. Lowe'S reelection should she again accept the nomination, and knowing that the south could not be more ably represented in national club life. The subsequent decision of Mrs. Lowe in allowing her name to come before the biennial was scarcely known in club dom when the news of her unanimous re- election was received.
 Mrs Love- while being a woman of great judgment, tact and magnetism, qualities most valuable in women who aspire to leadership, is without peer as a presiding officer She is a graceful and forceful speaker, and is capable in every way of distinguishing not alone herself, the south as a club section but of holding together in harmony the great body of women who have again bestowed upon her the highest gifts within it's power.
