Admiral Schley defended his line of

Second Anniversary of the Cosmos
 Club.


 The Cosmos Club anniversary recep- ton was held at the lovely home of Mrs. ". $. Graham on Monday after. noon.
 It was an ideal February day-sun- ny, with clear, crisp air-and very few regrets were sent to the invitations, which were limited to one guest for each member
 The house. which is so we'll adapted to entertaining number of guests. was beautifully adorned with palms and other decorative plants, while the fragrance of vioIets and hyacinths scented the air.
 The club colors-blue and Nhiie- were in evidence, particularly roticea- ble in the dainty arrangement of the dressing room.
 The spacious parlor. reception hall, and dining room. were thrown into one, and here the guests made merry with gay and witty conversation.
 Miss Freeman, Miss Lucy Williams and Mrs. Harrison, caused very ser'- ous pause in the merriment by passing around small cards. laced with blue | and white ribbons, with buttons pend ant and requesting the removal of the ribbon without tearing tie card. What frantic attempts with fingers and pins. What disgusted surprise when Mrs. Zana T. Pearce, deftly folding her card, 1 unlaced it, and was trIumphantly pro- claimed the winner in the contest. 4 dainty lace handkerchief rewarded her | for her skill.
 Next, prettily decorated booklets in the club colors, with gold lettering. were distributed, and on investigation ! proved to be "A Little Romance,' 7 whose absorbing paragraphs were ren- dered more so by occasional words omitted, which were to be supplied by using the title of some well known | book. Thirty minutes was allowed for this and then more time was begged | for.
 | The silver tones of the bell gave warning that no more time could be allowed, and it was announced that | Miss Lady Ingram and Miss Alice l 3ollwage had the same number of correct answers. Upon drawing fol the prize. Miss Alice Rollwage was the fortunate one, and large copy of tht picture of Baby Stuart,h by Vandyck was given her Mrs. Belser. having the highest number among the guests was awarded a beautifully painted cake plate-a prize offered by tht hos.ers
 l After such a sharpening of wits, il was an easy task to take sixty un named portraits of celebrities and ap- pend the correct names. The Car Mrs. Nation, Edward VII, Maudt Adams, Mrs. Lease, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Kruger-in short, cOsmo- politan grouping of names, resulted in Miss Lulie Davis bearing off the prize "a statute of Venus.
 While gay badinage and musica laughter followed the decision in tht games, the hostess, assisted by Master James Harris and Mesdames Norton 1 Ally and Ingram, served dainty re treatments in three courses, afte which congratulations and good bye ended very successful afternoon ant the second year of club life.
 The guests of the afternoon were:
