Mrs. Cart wright was notably handsome In a satin charmeuse evening gown made with an over-dress of black marquisette garni- tured with iridescent embrolderies.
 An attractive member of the receiving party was Mrs. Scott of Atlanta, who wore a gray crepe de chine costume veil ed with cnlllOn and SllVer IrlinInlHSS. Her hostess, Mrs. John Hine, was M lace overlain with pink chif- fon. Mrs. Taylor of Gadsden was an ad- mired visitor, wearing a yellow bro caded robe yelled with chiffon and trimmed with silver.

The electrical effects employed were superb, and the scenes on which they shone were strkingly original. A Thanksgiving scene was introduced with charming ef- feet It was just before the intermis- sion. The lights were dimmed and on the platform a fireplace was deserted in which blazed great log fire. It was typical of the old plantation days and above the flames hung a turkey. which jolly black "mammy' was industrious ly basting.

MORNING BRIDGE FOR
 VISITOR AND DEBUTANTI

Miss Isabelle Cobbs of Montgomery and Miss Kathleen VanHoose, who is one of the seasons debutantes, were the attrac- tive honorees at a bridge party given yesterday morning by Mrs. J. B. Dan forth. The hospitality was gracefully suggestive of the season; yellow chrysan- themums stood in vases in each of the card rooms. At the close of the games a buffet luncheon was served and cof- fee and a cordial were dispensed by the two honorees-Miss Cobbs presiding over the coffee urns in the dining room and Miss VanHoose the cordial in the sola- rum.
 Mrs Danforth's guests included Miss Amelia Worthington, Miss Fredrika Fer guson, Miss Alma Feagin, Miss Mary Martin of New York, Miss Clara Lee Woodson. Miss Donald Seals, Miss Gladys Enslen, Miss Mary Lanier, Miss Mary George Crukshank Miss Agnes George of New Orleans, Miss Jamie Going, Miss Ganaliel Dixon. Miss Marie Pinckard.

and large white hats ornamented with yellow flowers. One of the most effect i've cars was that of MT. and Mrs. Troupe Brazelton. Mrs. Brazelton and her lovely children were the occupants The car was not only pretty, it was original as well. The body of the ma chine was given the shape and sem blance of large shoe. This was cov- cred with parti-colored morning glor- les so natural in appearance as to sug- gest the freshness and dew of sum mer morning.

There were oth- CTS especially noted and admired by the judges, who expressed their regret Tn the paucity of prizes. but their de- cision was governed entirely by their honest convictions. As announced yes- terday morning, Mrs. Johnston as chairman, refused to take part in the decision, reserving her own judgment in case of a tie. As it happened she was not called upon to settle a dis agreement between Miss Knox and Colonel VanOrsdale, as they finally agreed after consideration of such points as harmony of color, symmetry of form and decoration and appro- priate dress of the occupants of cars, settling the question of prizes among themselves. The justice of this pro- ceeding cannot be questioned, as both Miss Knox and Col. VanOrsdale were unacquainted with the owners or oc- cupants of the automobiles.
 Miss Mabel Wheelocks car, which was awarded first prize. was covered with white tulle which was caught at intervals in flmy bows. This made dainty and

 A gleam of crimson bathed the entire club house in a glow of warm radiance. Crimson roses illuminated with tiny in candescents gave out soft light, and myriads of poinsettla blossoms, similarly illuminated, shone like rubies throughout ball room, reception rooms and the can vas-enclosed veranda The ball room was covered on the ceiling and walls with a network of smilax. Dotted here ana there were small lights covered with polnsettia shades. Dozens of poinsettia blooms draped the walls and heightened the effect of gorgeous color.
 Quantities of southern smilax gave a festive air to the dining room, while poinsettia and Richmond roses in vases followed the crimson motive. Lights buried in the hearts of red roses glowed here and on the veranda which was strewn with Turkish rugs and nude com fortable with large chairs and settees, there were illuminated pionsettia flowers draped with smlax A punch table was kept replenshed with a delicious brew. The veranda was a favorite retreat dur ing the evening.
 There was no formal receiving line, Mrs. Cartwright having asked her as sistant hostesses to mingle with the other guests and ensure their pleasure, In the coffee room two gracious matrons who presided over the coffee urns were Mrs. William Peyton Pinckard and Mrs. Nat Malone. Mrs. Malone wore blue silk evening gown garnitured with rides cent embroideries Her jewels were sap phires and pearls. Mrs. Pinckard was very handsome in a smart new evening costume

Cologne, Germany, November 22.-rnc Cologne Gazette prints an apparently inspired dispatch from Berlin setting forth that the imperial government, not withstanding the agrarian protests, in tends to modify the restrictions on the importation of meat from Denmark, France and probably Holland, these countries being practically free from an imal disease. The government also, 1t is said is Investigating the matter of ad- hitting frozen meat, but a revision of the laws on the subject first will be necessary.

Had a hostile nation seen fit to de- scend upon this section of the coun- try yesterday afternoon the Birming- ham homes would have been found undefended. Everyone saw the floral parade-some from Five Points and thousands along the downtown streets, and it was the universal opinion that pectations. The brilliant sunshine and soft warm air great factors in making a success of the pageant; flow CTS and greenery which covered the cars brought back gay touch of sum- mer in morning glories anl lilies, vie- ing with the chrysanthemums which are so entirely reasonable.
 The judges-Mrs. Richard Johnston. Miss Carrie Knox of Annlston and Col. John T. VanOrsdale. U. S. A, of Ft. McPherson, Ga.,-watched the parade from reviewing stand in front Of Capitol park, where the cars passed three times, pausing the last time for close inspection. There were four prizes-each a splendid solid silver piece. The first was a sandwich tray; the second a silver pitcher; the third ing cup. Each was engraved with the date and the character of prize Miss Mabel Wheelocks car was the winner of the first; MT. Sol Caheens of the second; MT. Richard Massey's the third, and Mrs. w. Jack Justice the fourth. The broad and general opinion was that there were not enough prizes to suitably reward the entries. There were so many original tasteful and artistic that the position of the judges was especially difficult Especial mention was made yesterday afternoon of the Paul Earle car, all of the occupants being dressed in white.
 This was decorated with white chrys- anthemums and greenery, an abundance of blossoms covering the tonneau and rising in canopy over the top. An other that was especially attractive was tho golden glow car filled with pretty girls whose gowns and hats were In keeping with its golden color.
 Another lovely one was the car in which were Miss Maebelle Roden and Miss Margaret Latady, the maids of honor to the queen. It was covered with pink chrysanthemums looped up on the sides with pink ribbons, and these two lovely girls were in white with big hats crowned with pink roses. MT. Beatty drove.
 Another which was justly admired was the small car decorated with mar guerites and driven by Miss Brazeal and Miss Lenora O'Neill. The ensemble was perfect. Perched on the top of the car was a filmy gold butterfly and others were placed in front appar- ently drawing the weight of flowers. The young women wore white costumes

German Reichstag Reconvenes

Berlin, November 22.-The reichstag re- convened today The socialists announced two interpellations, one regarding recent speeches by the Emperor and the other inquiring into the causes of the high prices of meat and what the government proposed to do to alleviate conditions. Both subjects are expected to lead to animated debates. In the matter of meat prices there are indications that the gov ernment intends to lessen the strength of the socialist attack by modifying the restrictions upon meat importations.

.HARBOR OF REFUGE WILL Be
ESTABLISHED AT The fNlRY
Good News Received Last Evening
That $4,000 VIII be Appropriated
for Commencement Of the
Work This Year.

Word was received i'm Houghton last
evening that the rivers and harbors

viii favor the project for a harbor of
refuge at Portage Entry. and will APP
propriate $4,000 to begin the work. A
great deal more money than this VIII
be required TO complete the proposed
work. but II Is announced that $4,000
will be all that the engineers can use
this year.
This is good news to Portage Lake
people, and win be heard with especial
satisfaction by vessel men and inter
ests. A harbor OF refuge at the entry
has long, been needed as there is no
shelter there for boats i'm the event of
a storm, At the Canal the Lily pond
serves as harbor and annually dur
ing the season OF navigation many
boats take refuge there.
1t is expected that work on the pro-
posed harbor will start early i'm the
summer as soon as conditions are ia
vorable. Considerable dredging will
have to be done and it no doubt will
require several seasons to complete
the project.

PARTY OF LUMBERJACKS TO
LOOK FOR HUNTERS BODY

Word has been received in Hough-
ton that lumberjacks of Ontonagon,
Kenton and Laird who have recently
finished their labors i'm the woods and
have much idle time upon their hands
have assembled i'm Laird township and
are now making n systematic search
of the woods in that section for the
body OF Robert Beidler, the Dowagiac
merchant iHho disappeared last fall
while hunting deer in that neighbor-
hood.
1t will be remembered that the miss
ing mans son, who was up here at the
time of his fathers disappearance. Of
fered reward of $4,000 to the one who
shall find his father dead or alive.
These lumberjacks feel certain that a
thorough search of the entire section
cannot fail to reveal some trace Of
the missing man If any harm befell
him. 1t is thought that the man died
i'm the dense woods and that his body
will surely be recovered soon. one of
the chief obstacles TO be encountered
at this time is the snow which is said
to be quite deep In some parts of the
section where the search is being
prosecuted.

WORK MAY BE DELAYED.
Repairing Of Portage Lake Bridge Sub
iect to Arrival of Timber.

Although all the preliminary ar
rangements for the repairing of the
Portage Lake bridge connecting
Houghton and Hancock have been
made, even to the signing of the for
nal authorization for the Houghton
County Traction company TO do the
work, there is some danger that the
work will not be done this winter. IL
has been the idea of the county super
vlsors and the officers of the traction
company to get the bridge repaired
while there was ice on the lake so that
the bridge could be closed to team
traffic while the work was progressing,
the teams using the ice roads.
Now there looms up the danger that
timber for the job, which the traction
company has had ordered for some
time, will not be here in time to al
low the completion of the repairs be-
fore the thaw sets in. II is said that
the delay is due to the trouble the
railroads i'm the northwest have been
having with their switchmen. storms
have also helped to deter the handling
of freight. Unless these materials ar
rive i'm Houghton within the next week
or ten days it is possible that the re-
pairing of the structure will be delayed
