ed a scene most appropriate for the &C
casion. After the refreshments were
served, Mrs. Breazeale produced an ex-
Quisite little loving cup. on which

of the love and esteem which the re-
cipient is held by her lifelong friends.

book was the handiwork Of Mrs.
Breazeale and was both unique and
beautiful. This was carried among the
guests by Miss Frank English and at
the end of the evening was filled with
happy wishes beautifully expressed.
The most amusing feature OF the en-
tertainnent was the presentation to
one of the Round Dozen Club members
of a tabby kitten, around whose neck
was coquettishly tied a huge bow Of
red ribbon. On two occasions this
member had cut cakes and found in
her slice a ring, signrfying that she
would be the first of the number to
wed. Miss divers marriage ends her
| hope in that direction and the tabby
! cat was given her for consolation. This
was done by Miss Carrie MCGEE in a
short and witty speech.
Misses Lucy Hatch. Hattie Roya
and Mrs. r. E. Wooten assisted Mrs.
BreaZeale in receiving and entertain
ing. Mrs. Breazeale's unrivalled repu-
tation as as entertainer was ably sus-
tanned on this occasion.
