Christmas colors and Christmas
cheer were combined to make the card
parties given by Mrs. j. Fred Dawson
on wednesday and Thursday after
moons of this week among the most en-
joyable of the season. The attrac-
%tiveness of her pretty new home was
enhanced by profuse decorations in the
Christmas colors, %festoonS, wreaths
and bells of red and green being COM
bined with quantities of gracefully trail
ing smilax, and masses of vivid carna-
lions. Euchre was the game selected
by the hostess for the diversion of
her guests on both days, and the novel
souvenirs for the parties were card
spot gunmetal pintrays in heart, club,
spade n diamond shapes. The re-

cakes, ices, mints and other accessor-
les. Mrs. Dawson was assisted in en-
t%ertaining Wednesday by Mrs. DeKay.
