REBECCA DAY

One of the loveliest of the holiday
visitors in Ocala this season is Miss
Rebecca Day of Atlanta, who is visit
ing Miss Lois Ellis for a couple of
weeks. On Friday evening Miss Day
was the honor guest at very attract
i've party given for her by her host
ess at her home on Fort King avenue
The house was beautifully decorated
with quantities of holly and mistle-
toe and red Christmas bells and
wreaths. All of the lights were shad-
ed with red and the only flowers used
were numerous vases of exquisite red
carnations placed on mantels, tables,
etc.
Mrs. C. H. Lloyd met the young
people at the door and Mrs. T. E.
Bridges showed them into the parlor,
where Mrs. George G. Looney, Miss
Ellis, Miss Day, Mr. Whitfield Palmer
and Mr. W. V. Newsom, Jr., were re-
ceiving. Mrs. Looney wore a stun
in black, with trimmings of white
lace and black chiffon, and she wore
red carnations Miss Ellis was excep-
tlonally handsome on Friday, wearing
gown of yellow satin with Persian
trimmings, the whole being yelled in
yellow chiffon. Her flowers were pink
roses, and her costume was complet-
ed with a lovely gold band and white
aigrette in her hair Miss Day, who
is a petite and dainty brunette, was
most attractive in pink satin with
lace overdress, and trimmings OF
fringe, crystal, etc. Her hair was
beautifully arranged with handsome
pearl ornament, and her flowers were
pink carnations
Mrs. L. F. Savarese asked the
guests out into the rear hall, where
behind Japanese trellis, twined with
ivy leaves, Mrs. Violet Powers and
Mrs. H. NJ. Hampton, quaint and at
tractive in Japanese costumes, serv-
ed the punch. Covering the punch
table and the trellis work was huge
Japanese umbrella, lighted with Jap
anese lanterns, the effect of the soft,
red glow being very pretty.
After the forty young people had
arrived all were given seats and pro-
gressive conversation contest was
then enjoyed. Mrs. Looney announc-
ed the subjects on which the couples
had to converse, and timed them five
minutes for each conversation, and as
each new subject was announced the
boys progressed to the next girl, and
so on until over a dozen leap year"
subjects had been thoroughly exhaust
ed. If the boy was pleased with the
girl to whom he was talking he pre-
sented her a small red bell, and ii
displeased handed her lemon. The
boys were given little blue bows il
they conversed brilliantly and if not
red ribbon bow was handed them.
No prizes were given, but at ten
thirty o'clock Santa Claus, in the per-
son of Gordon Moorhead, appeared
with well loaded pack on his back,
and distributed to each of the guests
toy of some description, and then
for a few moments it was as thous4
Bedlam had been turned loose, the
noise of horns, whistles, drums and
mouth organs being quite deafening
