CHAT OF PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

S~W~W~NWS 49, - O~NOO~Y =
There has not been the same
swift motion in the wheel of So
ciety during the week past that
was apparent in the rapid round
of fortnight ago, yet this failure
to cope with recent measures OF
time in the mum Der of pleasures
has only shortened a list whose
brightness remained undimmed,
and found it's earliest notable
event in the meeting of the La.
dies Whist Club with Mrs. T. w.
Hardy on the afternoon of Wed.
mes day, the second. A beauti-
ful color motif of white and green
heightened the charming effect
of rooms wherein the decOra-
tors art is perfectly displayed.
The library IN warm tones of
crimson was first entered, and
here delicious punch was served
by Mrs. Winston before the
guests were ushered into the
drawing room, given a rich, trop-
ical setting by quantities of
palms and ferns arranged in
graceful design, the whole MAX
ing a most attractive picture un-
der the light of innumerable can
dies. Especially dainty memen-
toes of the pleasant games were
the score cards with artistic bits
of engraving as border decOra-
tiOns. and upon these the record
of hOnOrs was kept by Mrs. t. B.
Franklin. In the ices and cakes
the favored color scheme was
again in evidence, an unusually
pretty course being the cornu-
copias overflowing with charlotte
russo and half hidden beneath
a sprinkling of green cherries,
while cafe nOir and bon bOns
pleted the choice menu. Those

bert of Atlanta, Mrs. John S.

Miss Julia Rhett was the de-
lightful young hostess of a card
party Thursday afternoon, a
lovely occasion. and one that was
a factor OF the days, socially.
The home was brilliantly decor
ated in red and green, and whist
was enjoyed by large company
of players who waged a skillful
battle for points, the prize an I'M
ique plaque in the admired py-
Biography work, being finally
claimed by Miss Virginia Chap
man. For all, however, were APP
prOpriate and gay souvenirs in
the tally cards upon the scarlet
