The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-02-04

swept over the past week, the
days, as they vanished in turn
with pleasures fulfilled, herald
ing the promise of kindred
gaiety on the morrow, and so
there has been an almost I'M
broken line to look back upon in
the social review of today. Sc
lecting from this outpOuring, the
first and brilliant affair which
started in motion the wheels
that continued their 5 p e d
throughout the course, one notes
the entertainment on Tuesday
evening which manifested in all
that is charming the com bined
hospitality of Mrs. T. w. Hardy
and Mrs. J. T. Searcy. The oc-
casiOn was arranged as a com
pliment to Miss Helen Harris, of
Jackson, and Miss Hester, of
Tuscaloosa, and was a most
graceful tribute to visitors who
have early become recognized
favorites. The attractive interi-
or Of the Hardy home was given
an added loneliness by a rare
collection of palms and ferns,
grouped effectively in drawing
rooms and halls, and in their
rich, dark tones making a per
feet back ground for the display
of unusual toilettes worn by a
host of pretty girls. The guests,
upon entering, were received by
Mr. and Mrs Hardy, Mr.. and
Mrs. Searcy, Miss Harris and
Miss Hester, and afterwards,
with place and partner assigned,
crossed swords over that merri-
est of games, six handed euchre,
with trophies finally awarded to
Miss Sadie Hudson and Mr..
Harrington, the former gaining
an artistic vase of crimson and
gold, the latter an ornamental
bronze lion. Mr.. Leonard Good
rich, as the winner of lone hands,
secured a Gibson picture while
s consolation for defeat
M Irene Robertson and
Mr.. Joe Bell became the pos
SCISSORS of unique trifes to act
as spurs for future efforts. At
midnight an elegant and elabo-
rate course supper was served,
and those enjoying an evening
which, in every detail reflected
the distinctive touches and ex-
quisite taste of the hostesses,
were: Miss Hester, Mr.. Brad
