The New Orleans Picayune has re-
Gently added an illustrated Sunday mag
azine to their already excellent Sunday
edition. The new magazine contains a
number of interesting articles and
short stories and has some beautiful
illustrations. H. Rider Haggard's new
serial, Fair Margaret" is begun in
the initial number and prom ises to be
very interesting.
The AS You Like 1t Club held a most
delightful meeting with Mrs s. j. Richie
on Tuesday afternoon April Both. She
was assisted in receiving by Mesdames
Raymond and Francis and her sister Mrs
Lloyd Garrett of Corinth. The rooms
brilliantly lighted with candles made
quite a contrast with the gloomy APP
pearance without. Cut glass vases OF
roses and china painted in rose designs
added greatly to the beauty of the de-
corations. Punch was served by Misses
Katie and Clara Topp. The table, from
which it was served was unusually
pretty, being banked with white peon-
les and red roses. Progressive domi-
hoes was the game of the afternoon in
which Miss Pauline Topp, in a cut with
Mrs w P Long, won the prize, a beau
titul picture in water colors. The con-
ISOLATION, a dainty ivory stick fan was
cut by Miss Clara Topp. Ices in the
shape of roses with angel food sand
witches were served by Misses Hazel
Topp and Louise Francis.
In her own inimitable way Mrs. Sim
Kinds entertained the F~ortnightly
Matinee club on last Wednesday after
noon. There was a large attendance OF
members and guests as is invariably
the rule when a meeting is held at this
beautiful and hospitable home. AS the
guests were seated in the halls and par
lor fragrant with the choicest early
summer flowers, they were served a de-
licious cup of coffee with sandwich.
Thus refreshed, the business OF the
club was transacted, then an interest
ing program was given. concluding u
study of Russia, with an interesting con-
versation on Count Tolstoi led by Mrs.
George Mitchell. Miss Ethel Topp rem
dered a piano solo that was so much en-
joyed and displayed the talent OF this
sweet performer. AS the last refrain
died away the loveliest cream IN shape
of American Beauty roses on natural
rose leaves was served. The guest list
included Mesdames r. l.. Kinds, w: l..
Reeves, Sam Yates, Clay McNutt, Tur-
ner Clark, Richard Coffee, Fletcher
