ary were won by Mrs. w. t. Cosby
and Miss Corinne Venable.
After the games a dainty two
course luncheon was served in the
dining room by Mesdames H. E.
WEIGH, Jack Haney and Miss Camp
bell. The arrangement here was
especially lovely and artistic, the
couleur de rose giving a soft glow to
everything. At long table were
seated the members of the Sowania
Club, with Miss Aussie Haney, the
president at the head. At smaller
tables the other guests were seated.
Clouds Of pink illusion fell from the
electrolier, with its rose-shaded
globes, to the corners of the table,
which borne an exquisite cover of rose
satin yelled in white net In the Gen.
ter of the board was an immense pink
satin bag and pink roses, from which
extended to each girls plate satin
ribbons. Along the walls trailed
green vines, with pink roses, while
the arched windows were effectively
arranged in the same motif. The
place cards were pink hearts tied with
pink ribbons, while the luncheon menu
carried out the heart idea and the
pink and green colors, the green peas
being served in heart-shaped rame-
kins. Even the brick cream bore
large pink hearts in the center.
After the luncheon Miss Lora Ha-,
ney requested the guests to pull the
ribbons at their plates. Each ribbon
pulled heart from the pink bag in
the center on which was written some
quotation pertaining to love, one bear
ing the announcement of the engage
ment Of Miss Aussie Haney to Mr..
Carlos McLemore Sigler and another
the date of the wedding, Oct. IS. The
vice-president of the club, Miss Annie
Rose Mcleod, pulled the last ribbon
which drew a black velvet cat, and
the secret-or rather he cat-was out
of the bag!
Many good wishes were extended
the bride-elect, who had chosen this
pretty way of announcing her engage
ment. Both Miss Haney and her
fiance, Mr.. Sigler are popular mem
bers Of the unmarried set, so their an
nouncement is of deep interest to the
many friends of this city's social cir
Giles who have watched the pretty
romance.
Those who were present to hear the
announcement for the first time were
the Sowania and Bridge Club mem
bers, Misses Annie Heidelberg, Bes-
sic Haney, Lucy and Bette Conner,
Minnie Hightower, Anna Fuller, Mary
Pierce Folles, Annie Rose Mcleod,

Misses Haney Entertain;
Engagement Announced.

One of the most unique and beauti-
full affairs enjoyed by the unmarried
set for some time was the card party
given by Misses Aussie and Lora Ha-
ney on Saturday afternoon their
guests being the members of the So
wani and Bridge clubs, and large
number of others from the unmarried
set only. The home of their mother,
Mrs. R. B. Haney, on Court street,
was the scene of the party, 500 being
played in the parlor, while on the long
shady porch were placed tables for
trail. In corner of the porch under
the sheltering vines in a bower of
ferns and pink roses, was the punch
table, presided over by the school girl
daughter of the house, Miss Bobbie
Haney From her dainty white frock
over a pink slip and immense pink
hair ribbons, one caught the color
motif for the afternoon, which was
most appropriately couleur de rose.
Miss Essie Campbell, of Montgom-
cry, an aunt and house guest, in a
pretty white lingerie frock, received
with the hostesses at the porch en-
trance. Both young ladies wore at
tractive rose-colored frocks, Miss Aus
sic Haneys being a soft silk, with
dainty hand-work, while Miss Lora
Haney's was of pink marquisette, with
white lace fchu. The score cards
gave a hint of what was to come, for
they were heart-shaped and bore a

meshes. The prizes, a dainty fichu

NtGHTiNGALES.

Beautiful must be the mountains
whence We come,
And bright in the fruitful valleys the
streams, wherefrom
Ye learn your song;
Where are those starry woods? o
might l wander there,
Among the flowers, which in that
heavenly air
Bloom the year long.
Nay, barren are those mountains and
spent the streams;
Our song is the voice of desire, that
haunts our dreams,
A throe of the heart.
Whose pining visions dim, forbidden
hopes profound
No dying cadence nor long sigh can
sound,
For all our art.
Alone aloud in the raptured ears of
men,
We pour our dark nocturnal secret;
and then,
AS night IS withdrawn
From those sweet-singing meads and
bursting boughs of May,
Dream while the innumerable choir
of day
Welcome the dawn.
