the matrimonial ranks and not as
yet overwhelmed with her dignity.
Anyhow this state of single blessed

dinners and the Elks' show.
Mrs. Mabel Stevens-Himoe's tea
Friday afternoon for Mrs. William
Hennersheets of Cuba and daughter,
Mrs. Lieutenant William Parker, was
the largest social affair of the week,
and one of the prettiest of the sea-
sons teas, which form of entertain
ment seems Just now the favOrite with
the local smart set. 1t was a PINK
tea not especially from the accepted
point OF view. but from the abund-
ance OF beautiful Killarney roses used
in the decoration of the n. f. Stew
ems home. where the pretty event
happened. The artistic interior lends
itself admirably to decorative effects
and was charming in its gala attire
of roses and smilax, which twined
here and there over doors, mantels,
and tables in it's ~adorablY ciinglng
fashion. The Fuhrmeyer-CaVanaueh
orchestra lent sweetest music to the
occasion.
Mrs. Ross Merritt and Mrs. Felix
Lester received with Mrs. Himoe. Mrs.
Eddie Edgar and Mrs. Al Frost pour
ed. while Mrs. Ralph Dunbar, Miss
Lolita Huning, Miss Anita Thomas,
and Miss Baker assisted by Dorothy
McMillen and Ruth Ilfeld, served.
About one hundred ladies enjoyed
the delightful afternoon and the rooms
we're thronged with society's chosen,
until the late hours of the day.
Mrs. Himoe entertains frequently
and her affairs are always beautiful
~ planned and perfect in the small
details which go to make up q sue
cessful social event.
