ing event OF the season.
The bride ana groom-e'ecJ, with
their wedding attendants, were the
only ones invited to This delightful
evening entertainment TIE inter
Tor OF the house was mad even m.5r.
attractive than usual, quantities o.
exquisite flowers being IUca in evi-
dence.
Mrs. Scott met the guests at tbs
front door and asked them into the
parlor, where Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
and Miss Mathews and Or. Yancey
very graciously received.
Mrs. Taylor, who is one OF Ocala's
prettiest young matrons, wore a dam
ty and becoming white lingerie gown.
Miss Mathews was beautiful in a
gown Of delicate lavender silk, elab-
orataly trimmed with Cluny lace.
MIS-. Charles Rheinauer served re
freshing punch in the library.
In the large dining room was an
unusually pretty and attractive scene.
The dining table had been converted
into a landscape by the skillful use
Of earth, twigs and grass-a verita-
bic forest. such as our forefathers
saw when the first landed in this
country. IL the midst of this virgin
forest had been built of clothes pins
a real log house with chimney and
front porch. like the log or block
houses of which many OF our ances-
tors were quite proud, and for which
they felt very thankful during tie
early history Of The United States
Standing or this little perth was q
miniature man and in the door stood
q small woman. These little people
were fashioned out of clothes pins
and dressed in colonial cOstumas.
made of colo.ed tissue paper. The
grounds. trees, shrUbbery, house and
the people had been arranged in such
4 manner that they produced the most
pleasing effect. and showed Mrs. Tay-
Tor 70 be quite a landscapist, as well
as ar architect of no mean ability.
A progressive house designing
same was next enjoyed. In this new
game each person was given a piecs
of blue card board, on which he or
she was 10 draw the plan OF a twelve
room house, three stories high. The
crayOn pencils were tied with differ
ent colOred ribbons and the two whose
ribbons matched we're partners, while
drawing plans Of the first floor. Then
d bell was rUnS and all changed part
rers. and the second story vas drawn,
and so Oh. In this contest the victors
were Miss Caro- LiddOn, to whom was
given a beautiful embroidered white
linen center piece, ana Mr.. Emmett
Robinson, who received a lovely sofa
cushion, on which was painted a la
dy's face, framed by large red heart
and around the heart Cupid was
shooting many little arrows.
There was also a test of the five
senses-sight, feeling, touch, taste
and smell This proved very anus
ing. and many funny guesses were
made. Miss Askew got an immense
stick of candy for having guessed
the most names of things simply by
tasting them. Mr.. Harry Palmer had
the most accurate ears and received
tiny tin horn for having guessed
the many noises made by grinding
coffee. blowing on a comb, beating
tin pan, etc. Miss Anna MixsOn had
the quickest eye and remembered
most of the things on a tray that was
looked at by all only few moments.
To her was given a little booklet. A
bag containing many articles of many
kinds was passed around. and every
one given an opportunity to feel its
contents. Miss McIveT had the
''slickest" hand at this and was re-
warded with a small rubber ball. In
smelling the bottles Of different Ii
guilds the prizes were very small
heart-shaped bottles Of perfume, were
taken home by Miss Helen Brown
and Master Sam Mathews.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor are perfect in
the art OF entertaining, and on Mon
day evening they were at their best,
for they are never so happy as when
giving pleasure to others.
This was the last, but by no means
the least of the many beautiful par
ties given during the past week in
honor of Miss Mathews, so soon to
