SOCIEYT
RECEPTION TO MR.. ALEX. WEBB AND
BRIDE.
The Asheville Citizen gives the follow
tY,r, - NJ
and Mrs Alex Webb, of Raleigh, last
Monday evening at the Battery Park:
"The Battery Park hotel last evening
was the scene of a brilliant function
The youth, beauty and gallantry of
Asheville were there en- masse The oc-
casion was a reception and ball rendered
by the Asheville friends of Alex. Webb
to Mrs. Alex. Webb. And those friends,
whose name is legion, were gathered
there last night to render their homage.
The reception was held in the parlor
of the hotel. Mr.. and Mrs. Webb received,
assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. A. Webb,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Barnard, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. E. Rankin, Mr.. and Mrs. L. p. Nc
Loud and w. R. Heston. The parlor was
thronged with happy crowd. eager to
meet the young couple and give them
greetings.
An hour was spent in introductions and
hand shaking. Then the happy party adj
iourned to the spacious ball room of the
hotel, where light feet tripped and light
hearts made merry in dancing. 1t was a
scene from fairy-land, this gathering of
fair women, dainty arrayed, smiling,
| joyous, and as the young men threaded
their wav through the throng to the
fascinating music of the orchestra it was
no wonder that happiness beamed on their
faces and dull care was forgot
About midnight came an invitation to
| the dining room, to which the dancers
eagerly responded. Led by Mr.. and
/ Mrs. Webb they marched in and were
seated to light luncheon which was
thoroughly enjoyed.
Again they repaired to the ball room

and then she'll never have to. Her
father went through the bankruptcy
court last year. Old settlers say the
huntington girls mother used to make
the same boast One of her fathers
creditors was baker whom huntington
owed 1915 for bread pies, and cookies
bought since 1890 The Post girl is
newcomer, but she brags that no wo-
man "can learn her to cook like her
mother can She can make ten kinds
of candy, four kinds of cake, and six
kinds of things with whipped cream.
But she doesn't know boiled meat from
broiled meat. and has never cooked
meal in her life. She doesn't even
know how to boil potatoes with their
jackets on.
The Harrington girl is a snappy lit
tie piece, who knows lot of boy
stories, and is all the time making
breaks and laughing at them. She looks
at the ground when she walks, and
minces along as though she was too
nice for this world She is always
grunting on wash day, and her poor
mother hasn't had a new dress since
1888, though Myrtle is dressed to kill.
John Slowly is a railroad man. He
mas DeeH llldTfleu three years. Tie IuFIlS
his money over to his wife every pay
day, and she has bills for canned goods
and ready-made food at six grocery
stores Their grocery bill is over $50
q month, and John can't see where it
goes. He should look IN the slop
bucket. Half the food she cooks is
spoiled, and, none of it is ever made
over
The girls say that there isn't a single
button on Earle RiZer's dress except
the forty-two buttons up the back OF
her shirt waist. They call her the hu
man pin-cushion.
That is the kind of girls who avoid
the cooking school. They are not
home makers. and Emporia boys are
locking for honest girls who will help
to make living should pass them up.
They also flirt with travelling men, and
young fellows claim that you can love
'em all the second night you call. These
are harsh words, but the cause is a
great one, and the Gazette believes that
the ends justify the means. If girls
can't go to cooking school. they can at
least show respect for it by stopping
their gadding for a few days.
