-
! The reception given Friday after
noon by Mrs. R. G. Cant in honor of
her daughter, Mrs. William Moses, of
Louisville, KY, was one of the most
enjoyable of the seasons social events.
The handsome home was thrown open
and brilliant with lights, flowers and
richly gowned women proved a most
pleasing contrast to the outdoor
gloom. The guests were met at the
door by the handsome little son OF
Mrs. Moses. The spacious parlor
and dining room were thrown to-
gether and frightened with crimson
candles. Graceful garlands of South
ern simplax and ivy were festooned
over the doors, windows and walls.
Crimson carnations and golden jon
quils were blended in the decorations
upon the nantes and the beautiful
mahogany sideboard. The polished
table was almost entirely yelled with
a handsome rich cover; around its
edge were graceful sprays of fern. In
the center stood a cut crystal vase
fragrant narcissus, and
cleaning brass candle sticks held
scarlet waxen candles. The silver
bonbon dishes held tempting bonbons,
and a dainty buffet luncheon was
served In the receiving line stood |
Mrs r. c. Cant, gowned in black and |
white silk, Mrs William Moses, whose
queenly beauty was enhanced by a |
charming toilette Of white net and |
lace over white silk, and Mrs. George |
Frierson in tasty and becoming
gown of white silk tissue. The host /
ess was assisted in receiving and en-
her guests by the follow
ing ladies': Mrs. Rebecca Frierson,
whose toilette was a handsome black
silk with duchess lace trimmings,
Mrs Robert Pillow, charming in white
cloth with blue silk and white lace
,orsage, Mrs. James Andrews in

Pretty Girl Confirms Gable Story That
She Turned Down Leopold,
the Bewhiskered Beau
of Belgium
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, Nov. 5.-When Camille Ly-
cette returns to France from her
American tour she will find herself the
most talked-of singer on the Partisan
stage. The story has just leaked out
of the way she snubbed the king of
Belgium last July when his majesty
made advances to her. This is said by
the knowing ones to have been the
reason of her sudden determination to
leave Paris for the new world.
The clubs and cafes are all laughing
at the decided repulse which the little
Parisienne gave the old king. She
would not accept his gifts and made no
attempt to hide the disgust in which
she held him. When he secured admis-
sion to the green room and was intro
duced to her by the manager of the
theater he received a snubbing that
must have been a surprise to his august
majesty, accustomed to easy conquests.
Camille Lycette, who is known on the
stage as Bresina, is now in America
playing an engagement with one of the
large vaudeville syndicates.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-06
Is in Los Angeles.

The story from the other side of the
water has an added interest from the
fact that Camille Lycette, or to give her
the name by which she is known to the
public, La Bresina, is now playing an
engagement in Las Angeles at the Or
pheum.
When asked for confirmation of the
story she made no effort to conceal her
delight at the publicity given the story
'It is time" she said, that the miser-
able old wretch received his deserts
His shameless immortality is disgrace
to the country which he rules. There
are other kings who are no better than
they should be, but Leopold of Belgium
is beyond comparison!
'It began with a bunch of flowers,
and when did not return that, he sent
me valuable jewel, which was re-
turned to him by the aid-de-damp who
brought it. Then he attempted to see
me at the theater. I refused, but the
manager brought him to my dressing
ROOM When he presented himself with
a most courtly bow, he looked so ludi-
crous that burst out laughing. Then
he went away. He is disgusting, and
he wears whiskers. Mon Dieu How I
loath him!'
