of the season was the reception given
for Mrs. F. w. Marsh, of Pensacola,
by Mrs. Geo. B. Perkins in her hand

beautiful chrysanthemums. Those re-

honoree; Mrs. 7. E. Perkins, Mrs.
Phelps Warden Wilson and Miss Choate.
In the dining room Mrs. d. M. Low

dainty sandwiches, cheese straws, olives

An editorial in The World To-Day
answers the above question thus:
1t would be easier to tell where is the
East. That is always towards the At
lsntic. Boston is East to Cleveland;
Chicago is east to Cloroda, and every
thing this side of the Cascade noun
tains is east to the Pacific coast. 1t
almost amounts to this. The West is
where man is; the East is where
he Or his father came from.
So it comes to pass that the West
has no fixed geographical limits like
the South and New England. 1t is
something more than a geographical
term. Like Boston, it is state of
mind. There are mountains and riv-
ers and oceans within the limits of
which the state of mind is pre-emi-
nently to be found, but it is to be
recognized in other regions as we'll.
