at High Point South, the highest hui
man habitation in johnson City and
the delightful home of his sister, Mrs.

mouth water who has ever had the
pleasure of enjoying one of herculinary
productions. This was purely stag
affair and EN- blamatical Of the occasion
the dining table decorations included
handsome pair of stag horns DIR. Wilds
had secured while abroad. The in
formality of the occasion and the un-
surpassed abundance of the mental and
physical hospitality made it an affair
unique in the history of Johnson City
social functions and placed it in a class
by itself. Attractive features of this
castle in the air. supported by terra
tirma, are the handsome hand painted
panels in the dining room, the artistic
handiwork of Mrs. Wilson, and the
endless display of hand painted china
and bric-a-brac, also her work, is a
source of delightful envy to less talent
ed ones. Those present to join DR..
Wilds on this occasion were: E. +
