| the granddaughter OF tne only preSt'
dent of the Confederacy, Miss Luc
White Hayes
Bashfully the young woman was
gently urged to the front. Her eyes
filled with tears and her lips trembled
as the huge throng of veterans arose
to their feet, then swayed toward the
platform and turned loose that old
rebel YELL
THE ropes around the stage re-
strained them, but one by one the
grizzled and bearded officers on the
platform crowded up to Miss Hayes,
and with bowed heads and reverent
mien, kissed her hand. The young
girl seemed overcome with emotion
and was led away by her maid of
honor, Miss Mitchell"
Mrs. Charles Hays was the hostess
of social meeting of the Woman's
Club Wednesday afternoon, at her
home on Main street.
The rooms were fragrant with sweet
peas and the nantes were banked
with mountain laurel. The center
piece on the dining table was very
pretty, being May pole, with
number of little dolls, dressed in pink,
holding pink ribbons, extending from
the pole.
Pink was the chosenh color, and
was used in the decorations and re-
freshments
