Miss Ora Dell and jamie Hunter have
returned to Ora after a visit to Mrs.
h. Z. Wilson.
Following is an item from The State
which will interest Laurens people:
misses Julia and Annie Gilkerson,
of Laurens, Linda Mae Sullivan, of
Camp Hill, Ala, Bessie and Eunice
Glenn and Dolly Query, of Anderson,
and Messrs. Y. II. and j. l.. Gilkerson,
of Laurens, b. II. Sullivan, of Camp
Hill. Ala, S. M. Wolfe, w. f.. Earle,
L. 7. Dickson and M, c.. Dickson and
j. G. Dickson, of Anderson, have been
for the past ten days very enjoyably
entertained at a house party in the
pretty home of their genial and tactful
host and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Rufus Burriss on Calhoun street. Com
.plimentary to the party, a luncheon
was served Wednesday evening at
Buena Vista park. Thursday evening
the party was given a trolley ride over
the city and suburban lines. On Friday
the members were taken through the
country to the reunion of the cred
shirt" boys of '76 at Pendleton. OF all
Anderson's delightful social events dur
ing the summer, there has perhaps been
more thoroughly a success and
with the participants will doubtless
lingcr long the memories of its pleas
urcS.
One of the most ENJOYABLE events of
the social world during the past week
was the reception to the members of
the Mysterious Twenty-Five Club on
last Thursday morning when Misses
Annie and Edna Sitgreaves entertained
the club with Il charming luncheon at
the home of their aunt, Mrs. w. III.
Martin, on West Main street. Hereto
fore the club has been entertained in
the evening and afternoon and a morn
ing meeting was something novel but
all who were present declaredit to have
been one of the most delightful meet
ings of this club. Everything was
carried out in a dainty color scheme of
pink and white the dining room being
a vision of dainty beauty with its tall
vases of pink roses and feathery sprays
OF clematis tWining their way across
the tables. The reception room was
also artistically decorated in handsome
roses and ferns. The form of enter
tainment owed its attractiveness and
interest to the fact that the subject
matter was purely original. The morn
ing being cool and every one i'm fine
spirits, a musical program was readily
welcomed, and each guest was provided
with pencil and a card on which a GNU
steal Romance" had beer written with
blanks left for the principal points of
the story, These were to be guessed
played. The story had been com
posed entirely of titles of popular
songs and pieces and in order formed
the charming little story below:
'Joscelyn was her name, and she
was seated in deep "Meditation.'
where the sunset turns the Blue tc
Gold, dreaming of School Days.
Along came a "Flatterer," as usual.
He. began by calling her "Dearie,'
which she resented. He next asked OF
what she was thinking-her reply being
I'm so Lonely" He offered hei
"c0nsolation' by saying Every One
replied "IIl Wait" then till Some
day when Dreams come True" But, he
answered, Somebody loves you Dear
and Il love only one Girl in this wide,
wide World" and that's you,s so Love
me and the World is Mine" "Ain't
you glad you found me?" said she,
then gave him "Love's Promise" He
assured her "Ill be with You when The
Roses Bloom again" but he came back
While the Leaves came Drifting
down., and their hearts were joined as
one while the band played mcrrily,
"lIail to the Bride" The attempts &c
arrange this little properly
were indeed laughablc and Miss Carrie
Bcss Vance proved herself the most
skilIful in getting it most nearly cor
rect. After this interesting bit OF
amusement the guests were ushered
into the dining Dor by Mrs. j. II. Phil
pot and Miss Lila Hart, who then served
q handsome four cours luncheon.
Several out Of town guests we're pres
cnt, namely: Miss Carrie Bess Vance,
of Columbia; Miss Eva Goodlctt, OF
