Companies c and D of A. and M. En-
tertained at Dinner

| Inc nome OF Mr.. and Mrs, L.. Is.
Kern was the scene last Saturday
evening of charming hospitality,
when their daughter, Miss Pearl Kern,
entertained with a dinner honoring
the boys composing the football team
of Companies c and d of the A. and
NJ. College. Mr.. Verne Scott is cap
tain of the team and under his able
leadership the boys have won every
game they have played during the sea-
son. This was an especially pretty
compliment shown the young men on
the part of the hostess and a much
appreciated one.
The pleasant affair was notably ar
tistic in its arrangements, the red and
white of the A. and NJ, College colors
being embodied in the decorations
with unusually effective results. On
arrival of the guests they were cor
daily met in the hall by the pleasant
hostess, Miss Pearl Kern, Miss
Louise Caldwell and Mr.. Verne Scott.
Here the decorations were in red and
white, and in an attractive alcove
decorated with ferns and palms was
a collection of football scenes and
pictures embodying college life."
Large columns separating the parlor
from the hall were prettily wrapped
in bunting of the college colors, and
on entering the parlor the boys again
were given a hearty welcome by Miss
Callie Kern, Miss Nora Henry of Mar
lin and Mr.. Tommie King. The deco
rations of this room were very pretty,
the only flower used being the ex-
quisite white rose that filled crystal
vases about the room. Hanging from
each doorway were the letters cd"
in old English.
In the dining room, where the
wants of the guests were attended to
by Mrs. L. B. Kern and Mrs. j. NJ.
Caldwell, the decorations were beauti-
full, featuring the Christmas season
as well as the college colors. The
chandelier was prettily twined with
plumosa fern and suspended from
this by red ribbons was a red Christ
mas bell having an electric bulb as
clapper.
Two tables accommodated the !
twenty guests, and marking the
places were exceedingly lovely name |
cards, the handiwork of the hostess,
each one painted in water color to |
simulate football and done in red. |
Forahe centerpiece of each table was
4 large crystal basket bowed with red |
naline resting on a reflector and
filed with fruits of the season.
The manager of the team, Mr.. c.
Oliver, was POSTMASTER of the even
ng, filling his place with aptness and
credit. The coach, Mr.. A. Bateman,
gave a clever toast to the entertain
ng and charming hostess and a re-
;ponse was then made by her. Mr..
Scott then in a pleasing style toasted
The Team"

served under the supervision of Mrs.
Kern, was a great success and con-
sisted of the following:
