Mrs. ]. p. Galbreath had her friends
with her Friday afternoon for game
of high ave. aud right merrily the games
went on although no prizes were offered
to the best or luckiest player. II was
a pleasure to play In such pretty SUR
roundings. for the house was gay with
vines and flowers. Graceful branches OF
Southern smtlax gave a festive look to
the rooms, to which was added the glow
OF color of the wealth OF roses every
where. The idea was that OF butterfly
party" and surely the bright BUTTERFLIES
should feel at home among such sweet
flowers. Each table had its number writ
ten In gilt on white butterhy's ~Ag;
each player had a white and gold butier-
fly. on whose wings the number of games
won was recorded, and every lone hand
was marked with tiny butterfly whose
delicate wings seemed lifted for fight.
Then there were two dear little girls,
I Bertha MaXcy and Alice Fulton. dressed
/ In white organdie, with white wings tipped
with gold, futtering as they fitted hero
and there among the players marking
their games delicious glass OF iced
tea was served with the shrimp and To-
mato salad and this was followed by Ice
cream and cake that refreshed the play
ers after the last game was finished. Mrs
Galbreath was assisted in entertaining her
guests by Mrs. S. II. Carter aud Mrs VIII
Fulton. Those entertained we're Mrs. H.
