The pretty interior of the Houser house was decorated in palms and carnations. The ladies gathered in the spacious parlors and were given heart shaped scores which were done in water coors. with bar of music and musi- cal emblem. An interesting love story was read by Mrs. Hanson Carter. with the names left out, to be supplied by the titles of popular songs. As these came they were played on the piano by Mrs. w. E. Lloyd and the contestants num- bered and wrote them on the scores. Mrs. McLauchln was successful in guessing every title and received an exquisite bo- quet of carnations tied with tulle. Her graceful impromptu speech of acknowl- edgment was one of the many pleasant events of the afternoon. After this game the tea room was thrown open and de- licious refreshments served, Miss Lucy Houser Miss Emily Cater and Mrs. Wade Elam assisting. The tea room was dec- ated in valentine emblems-red hearts. lights, etc, the refreshments partaking as far possible of heart-shaped deli caces.
