tertains.

Reported for The Robesonian.
A most delightful afternoon
was spent at the home of Miss
Martha Lee Pittman on Friday
afternoon, June the third. when
she entertained quite number
of her young lady friends in hon.
or of Miss Trout, of Forest City,
who is a guest at the home Of
DR.. and Mrs. R. T. Allen. The
guests were met at the door by
Miss Margaret Pitman and ush-
cred into the parlor where they
were received by Misses Pitman
and Trout. The house was beau
tifully decorated in daisies and
the daisy idea was carried out in
every feature of the afternoon.
The first contest was that Of
shooting at a large daisy with a
bow and arrow. This afforded a
good deal Of amusement as sew
eral of the young ladies had new
er had a bow in their hands be-
fore, and, consequently did not
know how to manage it. Miss
Jessie Lennon was successful in
scoring the largest number of
points, and was presented with
a beautiful silver hat pin engrav-
ed in daisies.
A great deal of merriment was
caused when the guests were
blind folded, one at a time, and
then directed to form daisies by
pasting the white petals around
the yellow centers. Mrs. A. B.
White. Misses Lena Cough, Re-
becca Ward. MaryPope and Dora
Smith formed perfect daisies
and in cutting for the prize Miss
Smith won and received a very
, appropriate pillow designed il
daisies. Delightful refreshments
were then served by little Miss
es Marion Allen and WASN'T

; room, hand painted souveni

were presented to the guests
4 On leaving the dining-room tn
t guests were asked to seek thei
