N SOCIAL CIRCLES
Mrs. haswelI Hostess to Entire Nous
club-Mrs. Pryor Honoree.

or the many beautiful social affairs
of the week none have been more per
feet in artistic arrangement than the
exquisitely detailed and beautifully
enyironed card party given on Thurs
day afternoon by Mrs. Tyler Haswell
when she entertained the Entire Nous
Club in compliment to Mrs. Fred
Pryor, of Austin, who is quite favor
tie in BRYAN and whose visits are al
WAYS the signal for social activity, as
her friends delight In honoring her.
This handsome new home, which Is
delightfully."- adapted for the dispensing
of Inequalities, was the admiration OF
the guests. Scarcely could the series
of card games obtain the interest OF
the guests. for everywhere was seen
the most excellent taste of the charm
ing hostess in the arrangement OF the
handsome furniture and the hanging OF
dainty silken draperies. In the hand
some reception hall no flowers were
used, the numbers of handsome palms
and growing ferns proving partic-
ularly happy idea. Red was the color
carried out in the music room, and
especially pretty was the arrangement
of the red blossoms in cut glass vase
surmounting a mahogany table near
the baby grand piano. Elsewhere about
the room were these same flowers.
While the married ladies played |
bridge in this attractive room the |
members OF Miss Miners house party |
enjoyed several most exciting games |
of five hundred in the dining room,
which is most elegant in its appoint
ments and which had been decorated
with narcissus and ferns. The lovely
score cards used during the afternoon
were hand-painted. the work of Miss
Anna Haswell. the only daughter of
the home.
AS finale to the afternoons pleas
ures the hostess served an elaborate
two-course luncheon, after which she
pre- scented the honoree, Mrs. Pryor,
with handsome pair of silk hose.
The affair was brilliant and beautiful ,
In every detail, planned on the same
lines of elegance which alwa. lend to :
The hostess entertainments such
charm and distinction.

Junction City, Kan. Nov. Am
ethnologtc mystery has been uncovered
on the farm Of John holland, se<eFaI
miles northwest of this city. In the
center of Mr.. Noland's wheat field was
mound which he decided to level
and while doing SO he uncovered sew
eTal human skulls and a large number
of bones and teeth.
One of the skulls and one OF the
thigh bones. apparently from the same
person. were Of unusual size, indicat-
Ing that the person in life was Of gil
ganttc stature The big skull is pierced
through the back with several small.
round holes. apparently such holes as
would be made by small shot from
shotgun
OF an Unknown Race.
Persons who have examined the
skulls say they do not resemble the
ordinary Indian skull and the absence
Of Indian weapons and utensils would
seem to indicate that the bones were
not those of Indians. Although care
ful search was made no Indian relics
were found within the cafrn, although
there was q brown, powdery substance
that might have been wood. The old
est settlers. however, say that they do
not remember of any white persons
having been buried there The ques-
ton now is, of what race were those
who we're buried there2
The mound was about so feet in d.
IL
covered with sod, with an occasional
stone protruding. When Mr.. holland
started to level 1t he found that about
eight inches underneath the sod was a
rock wall. He kept digging the dirt
away, following the stones, until he
had uuearthed about half of the wall.
Then he started at the top, which was
slightly concave. and gave evidences of
once having been arched over. Dig
ging down IN the center, he came upon
many well preserved skulls and bones,
in piles at different places within the
artificial cave. The roof had apparent
ly been caved in for many years. and
only those homes that were protected
by the fallen stones remained.
Walls Ten Feet Thick.
The finding of these bones interested
Mr.. holland, who continued his exca-
vations until he had completely I'M
covered the artificial mound or cairn.
It IS circular in shape and is about 30
feet in diameter. The walls, which are
10 feet thick and four feet in height.
are constructed of surface stone which
might have been dragged from q hill
nearby The stone was laid just as it
came from the ground and no hammer
was used in shaping or dressing it. |
The lower layers or courses are of
large stones. four or five feet across |
and from six inches to a foot IN. thick
ness. The stone was not quarrieds and |
apparently had been picked OF the /
surface OF the many lodges in that part |
of the country.
Within these 10-foot walls was a /
circular chamber, about 10 feet in di- !
ameter. and it was in this that the /
feet wide was found to lead into the
room from the outside. The room must
have been four feet high before the t
roof had caved in.
