ENTERTAINMENTS.
A Handsome Reception.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Parker entertained
the Young Married Woman's Club very
brilliantly Friday evening, compliment
airy to Mr.. and Mrs. William M. Chaffin.
The entertainment was not only
elaborate and beautiful in its entirety,
but was thoroughly enjoyable TO each
guest. Mrs. Parker's skill as hostess
was tested to the fullest extent by the
large number of friends who were pres
emit, but she only added fresh iaurels to
her wreath. Everywhere beautiful
decorations greeted the eye; the recep
ton room was richly bedecked in holly,
the little red berries being in such pro-
fusion as to form quite CLEAN of color
The receiving party was composed or
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chaffin, Mrs. Sallie Dobbins, Miss
Mary t'rerson and Mr.. w B. Wooten,
and Mr.. and Mrs. r. G. Ewing The
ladies of this party wore fresh evening
toilettes of pure white, save Mrs.
Dobbins, who wore gown of handsome
black silk. Mrs. Parker and Mrs.
| Chatfin wore white silk, while Miss
Mary Frierson and Mrs. Ewing chose
white organdie; each carried handsome
bouquet of her favorite flower.
| In the library hot chocolate was served
by Mrs. John Mitchell and Mrs. A. j..
Nichols. Previous to their entrance
into the reception room, each guest was
handed card containing a game of
authors-over which they were supposed
to think. Well, maybe they did, but
the judges found the answers to be won
derfu ly alike; so much so that these
gentlemen-Messr F. ID. Lander,
Meade rrierson and John Dobbins-
could not possibly award the prize. Mr..
Lander as spokesman, appealed to the
honor of the contestants. Several
hands were raised in response to the in
quiry, "Who has not given or received
help" But as many of these were seen
copying in full from other papers, Mr..
Lander delicately informed them that
their characters were such they could
not be trusted, and so the prize was not
awarded.
Another delightful feature of the en-
tertainment was the elegant luncheon
served in the dining room. White can
dies and huge white chrysanthemums
formed the trimmings, as it were, of the
decorations of green, these colors, against
the dark polish of the centre table, pro
ducing a most beautiful effect. The
guests were seated while the luncheon
was being served, and after this, "gooc
nights we're exchanged and the guests
retired to their homes A feature not OF
the program but pleasant to be remem
bered, was the singing by Miss Berry o
Nashville, who is a guest of Mrs. Jno
Mitchell.
A party of young people met at tn,
home of Misses Mary sue and Sadie
Aydelott, on South High street Frida,
