ure by Columbians: Mrs. Charles
Rice's buffet luncheon today in honor
of her attractive kinswoman, Mrs
Harrison Sykes, of Columbus, Miss,
and Mrs. Glover of Richmond and
Mrs. James Boynton of Griffin, was
one of the delightful events of the
week, assembling about twenty-five
guests. The living room and library
were fragrant with quantities of hy-
acinths in several shades of blue
bowls and vases of them decorating
mantels, cabinets and book shelves
In the dining room, where delicious
luncheon was served buffet, the color
motif of decoration was yellow and
green. Quantities of jonquils were
used, an old-fashioned silver epergne
of them being in the center of the
table. Low crystal baskets of the
same flowers were at either end OF
the table, and gold embossed crystal
dishes held yellow mints and candied
grapes and cherries. Mrs. Rice was
an attractive hostess, wearing a be-
coming gown of hyacinth blue MESA
line trimmed with Irish lace. Mrs.
Sykes and Mrs. Boynton were both
wearing black, Mrs. Sykes gown of

Miss Jackson's Recital at the College.
The piano recital given by Miss
Ethel Jackson at the college Friday
evening was enjoyed by an apprecia-
tive audience, which found in this
young musician a student of talent
and ability, whose execution of a
difficult programme deserves much
praise. The Bach prelude and fugue,
which was the opening number, was
exceptionally we'll rendered, and those
recognizing the skill required TO exc
cute a fugue clearly and musically
were delighted with her success. The
Beethoven sonata showed technical
control, and the variety in its themes
made it attractive, while the Chopin
numbers, and MacDowell's Witches
Dance" and the Schubert-Liszt sere-
made were received with applause,
and merit special mention. A brill
liant Moskowski selection, Caprice |
Espagnol," closed the program.

by the charm of ST. Valentine. Quaint |
