On Friday afternoon of last week
Mrs. N. M. Hay was the hostess of Il
most delightful afternoon "at home"
given in honor of her Sunday Schccl
c'ass. The home was beautifully dec
GRATED in spring blossoms and foliage,
the color scheme being green and Pink.
The hostess was assisted in receiving
! by her charming daughter, Miss Maggie
HAY, who by her winning manners ad-
ded much to the occasion. After con-
test on the characteristic names of To-
men, in which Mrs. w. G Spencer and
Ida Fitzpatrick were prize winners, the
hostess led the way to the dining room
where most delicious repast was ser
we'd in two courses.

Emusic club" and it was this clubs
better fortune to have Mrs. J. A. Orr

/ On this happy occasion we who wore
| the white and canary badge, arriving
! at the home of our hostess were ushered
into bower of beauty and fed upon
the nectar of the Gods.
The parlor was abloom with the sweet
est flowers and all, flowers, programme
and last but, by none thought least,
the dainty dilicious refreshmeats,entire-
ly zen harmony. We had by Mrs.
Stowe beautiful rendition of Mend
ehson piano and voice solos.
A song by four little girls and a pa
per upon musical celebrities upon leav-
ing, all declared Mrs. Orr an ideal nos
tess and joined in the wish for her
time to entertain again.
Decidedly one of the most enjoyable
affairs of the season was the hospitality
showed upon large number of friends
Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Bailey
Schumpert in her most gracious and
charming manner.
The halls and rooms, most taste FULLY
decorated with ferns and lilies, when
viewed by the mellow candle light
seemed a most fitting place for the
butterflies, chickens, and rabbits that
in great profusion greeted the guests
On every SIDE and reminded them that
it was in truth the Easter tide
On entering the guests were received
| by the hostess assisted by Mrs, T. j
| Seawright and Mrs. J. D. Green, who
| in bower of roses ladened with the
breath of spring, served the guests
from rich and magnificent cut glass bowl
of fs,.;s punch, while Mrs. Seawright
supplied each one with place card in
the form of our fam lar "Mollie Cotton
Tall, tied with dainty yellow ribbon
to form part of the general color scheme
of yellow and white.
When all the guest had arrived and
found their places around the tables
from which twinkled the merry lights
of scores of candles peeping from the
stately silver candelab:e, progressive
Easter games were enjoyed, the prize
winners, Miss Edith Clark and Mrs.
F. A. Green being rewarded for their
endeavors by representative Easter
scenes zone In water cOlOrS.
Most dainty indeed were the cakes
and ices in the form of eggs, chickens
and rabbits.
As twilight approached and the
chimes were striking the hour of de-
parture the guests dispersed, each feel
ing that the afternoon would be most
pleasantly remembered one in the an
nails of Veronas entertainments.
