pass into the bright hall of remem-
brance. Altogether the afternoon was
delight to all who attended, and it
is certainly due the elegant hostess to
say that she is an adept in the art
of entertaining. The next meeting
will be at the church Monday at 8
O'Clock, when the new officers for the
ensuing year will be elected.

Dance at EIks Hall.
The SWEETEST dance of the season
was given last evening at the Elks'
hall by the young men, complimentary
to the following visiting young ladies
and men: Misses Overstreet. Laura
Wesson and Caraway Messrs.
Thompson and Overstreet of Easta-
butchie, Misses Malard Hodges and
CASTOR of Meridian and Laurie Ward
of Ellisville. A delicious three-course
luncheon was faultlessly served by
Messrs. Don Van and Percy Breland
assisted by Frank Leland. The chap
erones were Mr.. and Mrs. Gland
Keithley, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ G. Field.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hugh Mcleod, Mr..
and Mrs. John Bolton. The ladies'
were all elegantly attired in soft
shimmering even toilettes, while the
gentlemen were also in full evening
dress. The toilettes worn by the
ladies were the most elegant worn
here this season, and the graceful en-
pire style, with the modified directorie
developed in silken fabrics and cling
ing satins of shimmering beauty. made
a most impressive picture as the wear
ers moved gracefully about Worship
ping at the shrine of terpsichorean.
This was most charming affair and
adds another link to the social chain
of Hattiesburg gaieties.

Sacred Concert.
The Baracca Sacred Musical given
last Saturday evening at the First
Baptist church, was one of the most
splendid entertainments of the kind
ever given in the Magic City. and GER
tainly reflected great credit on those
by whom the program was so care
fully selected. To comment espe-
cialfy on one would be unjust to all.
suffice it to say all numbers were most
beautifully rendered. One feature
especially attractive to the writer. was
when the bright young boys of the
Baracca class came marching in. Their
bearing was so manly, and suggestive
of the fact that they were indeed
workers of the Lord, the noblest and
purest call that any young boy can re-
spond to. This class with Mrs. Trot-
ter as teacher, has thus far accom-
plished wonderful Christmas work
and they merit praise for their la
bors.
