delightfully."- Wednesday morning in
honor of her departing guest. Mrs.
Clifford Foster.
Guests were invited for ten tables
of bridge whist, and all responded
save four. The tables were placed
in the parlor and on the cool, shaded
veranda, and were filled with d happy
throng whose only regret for the mo-
ment was the thought that it was
probably the last time they would have
the pleasure of Mrs. Fosters presence
at one of their social gatherings.
After q number of games had been
played, the guests were served with
a luncheon of delicious chicken salad
with mayOnnaise, sandwiches, beaten
biscuit and olives. The plates were
garniShed with nasturtiumS which
gave an added attraction to the ap-
petizing appearances of the dainty re-
freshment. Glasses OF iced tea, with
lemon and Sprigs of mint, were also
served, and bon-bon dishes of fresh,
homemade candies sraced each table.
Mrs. d. NJ Lowry was the happy
recipient of the head priZe-an eX-
qUsite center piece of Mexican drawn
work. Mrs. B. A MeginnisS came
next highest. and was rewarded with
a lovely. scent bottle mounted with
delicate silver tracery through which
the green glass of the bottle cleaned
like emeraIds. The consolation prize
was awarded TO Mrs J. f. YOnge, who
no longer regretted her bad playing
when she became the possessor Of
beautiful little cut glass vase.
Mrs. Foster. the popular honoree,
has been a charming addition 10 Tai
lahaSsee society during the past two
years, and the regret at her departure
is genuine, for she has won many
friends here by her beauty and charm,
and by her exquisite vocal talent
which has been used so unstintedIy
for the pleasure of others. General
Foster expects to be ready to leave
on Friday for st. Augustine and his
wife will accompany him.

upon which President Da-
Wis, with painstaking care, builded
