Book Lovers Club.
Holiday, July Is,

The beautiful home of Senator
and Mrs d. B. Thomas was thrown
open to the hospitality of the Book
Lovers Club Wednesday evening,
which entertained their families in
honor of Mrs. B. ID. johnson, who
will leave shortly for Huntingdon
to make her home, The grounds
and house were tastefully decorat-
ed with japanese lanterns and the
interior with beautiful flowers and
palms. The guests of the club
were Miss Ruth Spencer of Hunt
ingdon and Miss Roberta Gibson.
A very amusing feature of the
evening was spelling bee, the
words being given out by Mr..
Thomas from the old "Blue Back"
Speller. Mrs. Thomas carried off
the honors of the evening by SPELL
ing everyone down and finally con-
testing with Mr.. Thomas-Mayor
R.L.Stockard giving out the words
proving herself the betterspeller.
Music was INDUCED in, and Miss
Roberta. Gibson rendered some
sweet songs in her own delightful
way. Delicious ices and cake were
served by the hostess during the
evening.
Mrs. Thomas made very pretty
and appropriate talk on Friend
ship" and presented a book on this
subject-a tribute from the club
to Mrs. johnson in her usual
charming and graceful manner.
Mrs. johnson responded with a
few well chosen remarks, it being
an occasion when words hardly ex-
press ones feelings.
After e delightful evening adieus
were said and all departed for their
homes. The next regular meeting
of the club will be with Mrs. G. Z.
Hicks.
