Yancey chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, gave reception last evening at the resi- dence of MT. and Mrs. T. c. Thompson, on Highland avenue, in compliment to the visiting daughters. The occasion was both beautiful and brilliant, two or three hun dred guests attending.
 The decorations were in the Confederate colors. Flags draped the colonial hall and were crossed above the wide doorways, White and red hollyhocks were used in the floral decoration and Easter lilies and Meteor roses decorated the dining room, where frappe and coffee were served. Besides the Confederate flags, there were several Alabama flags used in the showy decorations, as in the observance of Alabama day the daughters of this chapter have been especially active. The wide colonial porches were deco- rated with palms and tropical foliage, and | the orchestra on the western balcony pre- scented a varied programme. The loveli- ness of the night made the al fresco fea- | lures quite as delightful as on the preced- | Ing evening. when the daughters were en- | tertained by MT. and Mrs. Charles c. 1 Brown.
 Receiving with Mrs. Thompson were the state officers, the officers of the William
  women who were not members of the chapter.
 Veterans and sons of veterans were among the guests, and the assemblage was brilliant and interesting.

 The unexpected departure of Mrs. Chap pell Cory yesterday for Atlanta will be source of deep regret. as well as solici- tude, as Mrs. Cory attended her little daughter, Theresa Cory, who will be taken immediately to the Pasteur institute m that city. Last Sunday the little child. while playing with her pet dog, was scratched on the arm. Soon afterwards the family noticed that the dog was III and some apprehension was immediately felt, although the scratch was a slight one. The dog has since died, and the phy- scians have pronounced hydrophobia as the cause. While the little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Cory has not been apps- rently affected her parents decided to take all precautions. The.r anxiety will be shared by many friends.
