Miss Lula Empie Entertains at Progressive Euchre Wednes-
 day Evening.

 beautiful home of Miss Lula Elm pie on Laurel street. The guests had been invited to appear in masque and the variety of char acters represented gave the affair an added spice quite in harmony with m asquera d e events.
 A motley crowd, one might have thought. Colonial danes and personages of high repute mingled with gypsies, witches and ghosts. The step had seem ingly been shortened between the sublime and the ridiculous. But all this incongruity of ap- pearances was merely a surface illusion. Byron once said, a lie is but the truth in masque, and so it was with this mixed gathering of evil spirits and stately characters; beneath the covering of the hour, were con- genial acquaintances and friends, who found much amusement ln solving the identity of the many mysterious guests.
 The tally folders were adorned with the ever popular Gibson girl and at the conclusion of the games, the winner at euchre was found to be Mrs. E. B. Wilmans, who was presented with 9 beau- tiful hand-painted plate. The lone hand prize, opera glasses, fell to the lot of t@o sisters, Miss Roberta Morrison and Mrs. James l.. Jones, but the former won out in cutting.
 The home was resplendens in| the rich hues of red and white carnations aad chrysanthemums arranged to pretty effect, little Misses Leah Jones and Bertha Hirsch assisting the hostess by receiving at the door.
 Very dainty refreshments of walnut cream, coffee, cake and olives were nicely served by Mrs. l.. Hirsch, Misses Dovie Erwin, Fannie Wolf and Mary McKinnon.
