Woman's Missionary Union Reception.
The reception given by Mrs. D. M.
Watkins Thursday afternoon compli-
mentary to the Woman's Missionary
Union of Columbia Street Baptist
church was among the most enjoyable
affairs eevr given in the city.
Mrs. Williams is ever a Thoughtful
and charming hostess, but on yester-
day she was especially so, giving a
kindly greeting and cordial welcome
to one and all. The beautiful home
was very much frightened by the ad-
dition of lovely American Beauty
roses and graceful ferns.
Mrs. Watkins gave a list of few
articles of groceries to each lady to
see who could make the greatest
number of dishes from these articles.
This certainly furnished a great deal
of amusement. Then Miss Hessie
Hickman rendered a beautiful selec-
ton of music which was very much
enjoyed. A lovely menu was served
by the genial hostess, assisted by Mes
danes Thompson and Ellis, Hickman,
consisting of fried oysters, salad with
majonaise dressing, soffee and cake.
This was free will entertainment
and nice offering was made.
