SOUVENIRS OF TRAVEL.
at card Party Given Yesterday By
Mrs. j. s. Wood.

at Card Party Given Yesterday BY
Mrs. j. S. Wood.
Mrs. ]. S. Wood entertained yester-
nav afternoon with cards. The very
original idea of making it a tourists
marty. in which all the score cards and
lone hand favors should be souvenirs
of travel. gave much interest to the
afternoon.
Three rooms were used for the game,
all being most attractively decorated
IN yellow, with yellow shades on the
candles, and many lovely flowers, yell
low carnations and roses, in slender
vases on the mantels. A pretty con-
trasting color was given in the long
hall, which was lighted by several
lamps shaded in red. A number of
handsome palms were arranged here
and near the door on a stand, was a
plant, the Jerusalem berry, covered
with it's bright red fruit.
At the card tables, the scores were
kept on illustrated post cards, show
ing various American cities, and the
idea of travel was further suggested
in the little lone hand markers, which
were, for the ten hands, engines, trains
and horses. and for the twenty hands,
little gilt autos, cabs, hansoms and
other vehicles. All were tied with yell
low bows.
Mrs. Woods guests were Mrs. Cor
don, Mrs. Henry McAlpin, Mrs. John
Heard Hunter, Mrs. Anderson Carmi-
chael, Mrs. T. P. Warning, Mrs.
Charles B. Malone. Mrs. Murray Nc
