Beautiful Colonial Party Given
BY Mrs. Zewadski and Mrs. Long

From last Fridays Daily.
An affair which gave very great
pleasure to a large number of the Ia
dies of Ocala was the beautiful Col
onial party given by Mrs. w. X. Ze-
wadski and her sister, Mrs. Carrie B.
Long, yesterday afternoon. The oc-
casion had two raisons d'etre, the cell
ebration of the birthday of George
Washington, the father of his coun-
try, and the fact that the Zewadski
family have sold their beautiful home
and expect in a short while to leave
Ocala.
The entire home was exquisitely
decorated with quantities of Southern
smilax, red, white and blue bunting,
flags, and palms. In the rear Of the
hall were pictures of George and Mar
tina Washington framed in American
flags and from the time the guests
entered the hall until they departed
Receiving with Mrs. Zewadski and
/ Mrs. Long was Mrs. Charles E. Pow
ell, of Lexington, KY. They all wore
empire gowns, Mrs. Zewadsbi's being
white, Mrs. Longs blue and Mrs.
Powelps red and with their beautiful
| ly powdered hair, were indeed a sweet
Mrs. r. A. Burford and Mrs. Mallory
Liddon, both in white lace dresses
with powdered hair, met the guests.
! Others assisting the hostesses were
Mrs. ]. E. Chace, lovely in blue. Mrs.
| c. V. Miller, in red and Mrs. G. S.
Scott, in white, Miss Sue Barco, in
white and Miss Valeta Potter, also in
white. All had their hair powdered
aafter the Colonial style and could
George and Martha Washington have
turned back the years and have been
present in the flesh, they would have
been delighted at the beautiful scene
of yesterday afternoon.
1
Mrs. Andrew Turner, of Lake Sixteen,
kinspeople Of Mrs. Zewadski and Mrs
Long, were also present and assist
ed the hostesses in receiving their
! guests. They were about seventy
five ladies present and the afternoon
was devoted to dominoes, which is
! got In f,n IN
Ocala. There were fifteen tables and
the games were played with great
zest and absorption. Eight games
were played and proved to be most
interesting. Mrs. William Powers,
Mrs. Charles Miller and Mrs. William
Hooker were fortunate enough TO win
all of the games In cutting for the
prize, which was a very dainty little
hand painted candle stick. it was won
by Mrs. Miller.
The games were marked on hand
painted flags, the pencils used being
also red, white and blue. Tiny little
silk flags were given 10 the guests
as souvenirs Of the afternoon and in
every conceivable way the patriotic
conception was carried out in the APP
pointments of this beautiful party. At
ter the games refreshments were serv-
ed by four Of Ocalas prettiest young
maidens Misses Leta Camp, Mary
Burford. Alta Pearson and Marguerite
Porter. They wore pretty white
dresses with red sashes and red hair
ribbons and they wore cunning little
George Washington hats prettily
made OF red, white and blue crepe pa
per, and they proved to be most be-
coming 10 these pretty young girls. A
salad course and q sweet course was
served. The ice cream was in bricks
and was cOlored in red, white and
blue and the cakes were tied with
narrow ribbons of the same colors.
Mrs. Zewadski and Mrs. Long are
very gracious hostesses and blending
in pretty harmony with the attractive
surroundings Of this party were the
beautifully gowned women, the sweet
strains OF the music from the stringed
orchestra and the pleasant and excit-
ing chatter OF the delighted guests.
