AN AFTERNOON AT HEARTS.


A most attractive card party was
given Thursday afternoon by Mrs. ].
H. Haslam at her pretty home on For
syth Park.
The rooms were decorated in pink,
with pink shades on all the lights, and
fragrant carnations clustered in the
smilaX that wreathed doors and win
dows. The three rooms opened into
each other in a lovely vista of color,
the arched entrances hidden beneath
display of smilax everywhere, on
mante and table were vases of carna-
tons, and the bay window of the
drawing room was filled with handsome
palms that showed with charming eff
feet against the lace hangings. At
the end of the hall was a bower of
palms and ferns, and behind the screen
were stationed The Harpers," who
gave delightful programme of mu-
sic during the afternoon.
The game chosen was hearts, and
everything on the table was pink, the
cards, the little dishes that held the
bonbons, even the candies themselves
and the ices that were served later.
The first prize, a silver vase, was
won by Miss Mary Comm. The sec
ond, a travelling clock in a leather
case, was awarded to Miss Nellie
Harty.
After the cards there was an original
and interesting contest that provoked
much fun. Each guest was handed a
Undiscovered book with a little pink
pencil attached, and within the book
