All the gfade q
That swell is wd,
Are blest by heaven So We
This gem of nature By
And feel its silent soothing power
Mid dreariest ills of earth.
The world. though decked with fairest-
gems
And priceless treasures rare
Bringing joy to many hearts,
To. others grief and care
Does not disdain the tiny drops
That sparkle far and near;
When kissed by heavenly dews its
breast
Bears many glistening tear.

Delightful Luncheon.
One of the prettiest luncheons ever
given in Hattiesburg was the one on
last Friday at o'clock, given by Mes.
danes Morford and Rowan at the
charming home of the later on Bay
street. This 10 o'clock luncheon
beautifully complimented Mrs. Lewis
of Roanoke, Va, charming young
matron, who is visiting her mother,
Mrs. Davidson. This already attract
tive home was given a marvellous
TOUGH Of beauty by the lavish use of
beautiful pink roses, and there were
also numerous beautiful ferns and
palms in every nook and corner. The
table was indeed one Of rare beauty
its service of dainty china and We
netian glass, with menu delicious,
and elegant in every particular. The
four following charming young ladies'
served the luncheon, Misses Marie
Rowan, Ethel Hill. Allie Camp and
Cora Morford. At the conclusion OF
the repast, bridge and music
made the time glide too swift
ly. Those present were: Mes
danes KEENAN,. l.. L. Major, Dunn, R.
X. Smith, Stephen, Burr Davidson,
Lewis, the honoree; E. s. Peak of
Scranton, Pa; Turner, w. @. Rich,
Rowan, Morford, Misses Ethel Hill,
Allie Camp. Marie Rowan and Cora
Morford.
Mrs. Smith as Hostess.
Among the many beautiful social
courtesies extended Mrs. Lewis of
Roanoke. Va, none have been more
elegant than was the one on last Sat
urday afternoon, given by Mrs. Roland
X. Smith at her lovely home on New
man street. Indeed, all things con-
sidered, it could scarce have been
otherwise than a success and beauti-
full in every detail. There is GER
tainly no hostess in all the city more
charming than Mrs. Smith and more
lovable matron can nowhere be found
than the honoree. Mrs. Lewis. gifted
with unusual beauty and possessing to
a rare degree the tact and ease of
manner SO necessary to social success,
has already made most favorable
impression on the people of the Magic
City. Mrs. Smith assisted by Mrs.
Lewis, gracefully received the large
number of callers who came during
the reception hours. The decorations
were notably beautifully, having been
exquisitely carried out in beautiful
jonquills, narcessus and lovely roses.
The handsome mahogany table with
it's lovely lace cover, its beautiful
silver, with center piece of lovely
cut glass rose bowl holding large
clusters of fragrant pink roses, and
other handsome accessories. made a
charming picture when surrounded by
the beautifully gowned ladies'. Here
a most tempting two-course luncheon
was charmingly served by the hostess
winsome little daughters, Emma and
HELEN. Six tables of progressive
800 made a most pleasant feature of
amusement for the afternoon. The
out-of-town guests who attended were
the guest of honor; Mesdames Lewis
of Roanoke, Va; Yates of Laural, s.
D. Peck of Scranton, Pa. and Hill OF
Michigan.
