INTERNATIONAL EETE.

/ Mrs. Frank d. Lander entertained
very handsomely Friday afternoon for
Mrs. ]. F. Brownlow and her guess,
Mrs A. B. Lovan. These ladies, with
Mrs. Meade Frierson assisting, receiv-
ed in the lawn, which was very beau
tiful with its natural carpet of green,
a dense shading formed by the ovel-
hanging boughs of the trees, and hand
some American flags waving in the
breeze. The guests were then invited
into the house and were received on
the veranda by Mrs E. r. Dunning-
ton, Mrs Hattie Jones and Mrs. H. P.
Figuers.
The hall presented a scene of
rare beauty in its Japanese fur
nishings, and was the product of the
combined tastes of Mrs E. w. Car
mack, Mrs. R. c. Ewing and Mrs. Louisa
NJ. Clark, who were the hostesses in this
department Japanese lanterns fur
nished the light, the floral decorations
were the sacred Japanese flower, the
peOnie, and, according to Japanese
custom, the drink of welcome, Sake"
was served to each guest as she entered
The hostesses here wore handsome
and becoming Japanese toilettes and
their charming cOrdiality of manner
was the most beautiful feature of this
department. Mrs. s. G. Huntington
then welcomed the guests in the next
room, where she and Mrs. R. w. Wat
kins and Mrs. Ernest McLemore were
holding a typical English Tea The
quiet, elegant taste of these English
ladies chose the National Flower, the
red rose, as their sole decoration, with
only a dash of white, the English col
ors, REQ and white, being exquisitely
carried out The hostesses here were
a happy choice, as their elegance, dig
nifty and grace of manner were indeed
typical of the English hostess. The
tea was served from two tables, hand
some lace and rare china making them
very beautiful.
Then came gay, beautiful, happy
France. The hostesses here were

INSTITUTE
EXERCISES
coLUMBIA'S SCHOOL FOR YOUNG
LADIES WILL CLOSE WITH AT
TRACTIVE EXERCISES.
MOST SUCCESSFUL YEAR.

The work of the school in final ex-
animation is proceeding with great
regularity and satisfaction, favored by
cool weather and the best organization
the school has had for eight years or
more. Friends, patrons, pupils and
principal of the Institute congratulate
themselves upon the security of still
better school next year. What, with
the success of the Military Academy, a
decided advantage to the Institute in
securing pupils from distance, the
interurban trains increasing the day
patronage, the scholarship attained by
boys going from the Institute to col
leges, the acknowledgement of merit
by the awarding of the medal to the
Institute by the Worlds Fair, the
school ought to be the pride of the
town whose honor and enterprise it
materially aids. Very few changes
are anticipated for the coming year.
The Herald will make known all
plans as soon as they are matured.
To all the commencement exercises,
the public are cordially invited.

taste, these ladies did not hesitate to
use roses of all colors in order to at
tain the desired beautiful effect The
table. from which a delicious salad
was served, was a gorgeous display
of bright flowers and cut glass, and

taste of the hostesses.

The parlor where Lost
Heir was played, was glorious in a
Drofusion of pure white peonies and
)inks. In the hall where punch was
served by Mrs. Eugene Long, from
power of syringa and pink roses,
nyriads of candles shed their soft
adiance. An exciting game of bridge
Whist was played in the two sitting
'ooms, where a profusion of garden
lowers were in evidence. Great clus>
ers of crimson and pink roses and
,eonies filled many receptales. Mrs.

to the fair girls present and their
dainty toilets. Miss Barrow's lovely
beauty was seen to its best advan-
tage in an embroidered blue mouslin
and crushed girdle. Punch was grace
fully served in the hall and during
the subsequent card game, by MISSES
