Quite a pretty courtesy was shown
Mrs. w. d. Lawrence on Tuesday aft
ernoon when her lady friends, who
had previously been invited, assem-
bled at the beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. X. Lawrence for the purpose
of giving her surprise In the nature
of kitchen shower. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence have recently purchased the
pretty cottage just in front of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. A. Mcqueen and are now
pleasantly domiciled there. Mrs. Law
renee received her guests on the
porch, where they were SO cordially
met and royalty entertained. This was
an ideal porch party, the surrounding
trees and flowers lending their grand
eur to the occasion, and the cool sum-
mer breeze adding to the comfort of
tho guests.
Mrs. Lawrences gracious air of hos
pitality is infectious, and her guests
are soon at ease when in her pres
ence. BY her thoughtful courtesies
and thorough skill as hostess she
made the occasion quite delightful.

A Surprise Birthday Dinner

A charming hostess who knows just
how to arrange delightful evening
for friends is Mrs. Albert j. Buchanan
On last Teusday evening as Mr.. and
Mrs. Buchanan sat on their gallery
reclining comfortably in their porch
chairs the men comprising The Eagle
office force and Mr.. Buchanan's
brother, Mr.. A. w. Buchanan, arrived
in body upon invitation from Mrs.
Buchanan to take dinner with her
husband in celebration of his birth
day. Mr.. Buchanan was overwhelmed
with delight and pleasure over the
surprise of the secret that had been
so well kept and planned by his wife.
This day was indeed pleasantly spent
by Mr.. Buchanan, for during the morn
ing he received birthday remem-
ORANGES, together with letters, from
his son and daughter In Houston con-
veying messages of love and affec'
ton. Then, too, he received congrat-
ulations from his many friends.
The attractive dining room of this
hospitable home formed an ideal set
ting for the table, which upon this
occasion was prettily decorated in red
and white, the color motif that was
also carried out in the menu. The
chandelier above was gracefully en-
twined with ferns and tied with loops
of red maline, while in the center OF
the long table spread with cloth OF
linen rested crystal vase bowed
with red maine and holding great
clusters of white sweet peas and
ferns. Cut glass dishes filled with
sailed nuts, cheese sticks and jelly
were placed on lace doilies at inter
walls around the board.
At the close of the five-course din
ner Mr.. NJ. E. Wallace, the popular
manager of The Eagle Office, in a
clever manner presented to Mr.. Buch-
anan in behalf of the force beauti-
full Masonic watch fob as token of
the esteem in which he is held by his
employees. In words of sincerity Mr..
Buchanan showed his appreciation OF
the courtesy shown him.
The evenings pleasures as whole
bespoke the thoughtfulness and taste
of Mrs. Buchanan, who arranged the
decorations and gave careful atten-
ton to every detail of the affair. Mr..
and Mrs. Buchanan are both noted for
their hospitality and never appeared
to better advantage. Nothing for the
enjoyment of their guests was over.

Capital. Washington. There has been no
other view than that as g. national tribute

at the capital. Its exact location is still
q matter Of speculation. There are those
who hold that it should be made to span

be constantly in view Of Congress and all

man can conceive in the way OF a road

ton is to place the Titanic memorial half

that the nation has yet erected and form
magnificent basis for the grouping OF

intended shall border this proposed road

Since the world began $5O0O00 has
never been spent on an arch except in the
case of the Arch Of Triumph In Paris.
Since the world began there never has
been such high development Of the pos
sibilities Of building as now. The result
seems inevita BILE that this arch should be-
come one Of the wonder works Of the
world. The plan is to build 1t in glitter
ing white marble. It's span will rise hum
dreds of feet above the roadway that
passes beneath it. Its feet will rest
other hundreds of feet apart Above its
arch the structure will probably be
squared and the surface thus offered will
be ornamented with classic pillars and
appropriate carved figures.
The spirit of the ornamentation OF this
arch will be different from any that have
gone before. The arch has almost In
