MONOGRAM BRIDGE
 FOR MISS LILLIAN MOORE

Mrs. Bozeman Arthur Pepperman was
 one of the first of the post-Lenten hostesses, and one of the most delight full entertainments of the season was
 hers. She was a hostess yesterday aft
 ernoon at bridge in honor of Miss Lillian Moore, whose marriage to MT. Lawson will take place this evening. It was a monogram party, the letters of the honoree's name being interlaced as a decoration for score cards and appeared as well in floral designs here
 and there. Quantities of smilax and woodland blossoms beautified Mrs.
 Pepperman's home, making it a place
 whose cheer was at variance with the
 gloom of the day. Dividing the rooms
 in which the guests enjoyed the games
 were trellises of green. Suspended be- tween the arches were wreathes of green in which the monogram of the bride elect was effected In white blos-
 soms-syringa and snowballs In the alcove in the dining room was an arch formed by five streamers of green in- candescept lights. These showed through an abundance of fragrant flowers. At either side stood tall vases
 filled with Easter lilies and in the
 background, the letters IL. M. shone in
 bright lights The center of this pretty
 spot was a punch bowl which stood
 on decorated table and was presided
 over by Miss Fern Minor.
 The chandelier was elaborately dec
 orated, while sweet peas descending in
 a lovely shower from the reflector.
 The centerpece of sweet peas and as-
 paragus ferns was suggested in the
 color of the bon bons which, in heart shape, were green and white. Tiny
 white slippers filled with rice were
 the favors from which the consolation
 trophy was drawn. This was a pair of
 lovely white silk hose. The score cards were decorated with the gold mono gram of the honoree, Miss Moore. The prizes were notably handsome. For the score, Mrs. Pepperman awarded hand painted cake plate in the gold and white motif; the game prize was a dainty fan with sandal-wood sticks and hand-painted. To the honoree,
 Mrs. Pepperman presented set of
 bread and butter plates bearing her monogram in gold, and to Miss Sadie Gillespy, who shared the honors of the
 occasion with Miss Moore, she gave a hand painted gold and white tray com pleted by her monogram.
 Mrs. Pepperman and her honoree well comed the guests in the reception
 room, which was gracefully decorated
 with foliage and white flowers. The hostess was very attractive in white
 lace garnitured with baby Irish and built over pink. She wore a corsage
 cluster of pink sweet peas. Miss Moore woGe blue marQuisette with lace

by a woman of my acquaintance"
 You mean the-er, woman who started the idea of keeping her money-er in her stocking?" asked Nancy shyly.
 Something on that order, but not ex- actly," replied the teller" This one speak of divided her money each week into three parts. One sum she put into her powder box, another in an old sugar dish, and still another she deposited in a cigar box. The money in the sugar dish was for marketing; that in the cigar box was for paying the cook, and the powder box sum was for various incidentals."
 Great" calculated Nancy. ''she was a methodical woman and had place for everything at least"
 "She didn't have exactly what I would call a sense of balance She was always having to borrow from the sugar bowl to pay the expenses incurred by the cigar box. and the powder box got mixed on its dates with the sugar bowl, and Lord knows what happened to it. This is the kind of woman who lands poor bank teller in the ward. Hbor fellow. he's per- fectly rational on all subjects except money" said Johnny with dejected look.

The introduction to a day as de- lightful socially as it was unpleasant atmospherically was Miss Ruby Mun- plimented Miss Lillian Moore, whose wedding takes place this evening at the South Highlands Methodist church and Miss Sadie Gillespy, whose wedding will take place one week from this evening in the same church.

 No more lovely place could have been chosen for a spring entertainment than the country home of the Mungers. Its great, broad entrance and the walk leading to the pillared veranda of the colonial house gives the welcome of an ancient manor. With the green foliage of its trees and the fragrance and brightness of its flowers, 1t is especi- ally Inviting at this season.

Miss Moore was gowned for the day in blue crepe de chine, in which she is charming, while Miss Gillespy appeared in striking: toilette of black and white with large black picture hat. Mrs. Munger well comed the guests in black mar quisette robe over blue.
 The luncheon was served in the rear veranda where a lattice was twined with smilax and studded with flowers. Three courses were served and follow- ed with coffee in the library. In the dining room an ice was dispensed. This apartment was especially attractive in its floral decoration. An umbrella made of maline and filled with spring flowers was particularly suggestive of the season. Miss Munger's luncheon was marked throughout by the in- dividualitY and the artistic taste. SO

 ''The bank, of course," said Nancy pee vishly. And hope we will soon have one fin Birmingham so that woman can get her money any time she wants it..
