MRS. TRIMBLE'S RECEPTION
 NOTED IN MOBILE

At the beautiful reception given by the General Sumter chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, at the home Of Mr. and Mrs N. W. Trimble, the Mobile women present were distinctly noticeable in their handsome toilets, notes the Mo- bile Register.
 Mrs Trimble was assisted in receiving her guests by a number of the visiting regents and several of the resident off, cers and prominent Daughters, though the extreme inclemency of the weather prevented many of the ladies from beins present.
 IT was distinct disappointment that Mrs Rhett Goode of Mobile, who has always been so prominent in the social features of the conferences, was unable to give her presence to the reception, owing to her deep mourning.
 Mrs. Ellen Peter Bryce of Tuscaloosa, a much loved member in the state, was also much missed.
 Mrs Trimbe received her guests in a handsome black lace gown over blue satin. Among those noted in the assem- blaze were Mrs. Shawhan of Mobile, who wore a hadnsome gown of old rose char mouse trimmed with lace. She was With her hostess Mrs. W. C. Pitts.
 Mrs George Leftwich and Mrs. Agnes Leftwich, who are Mrs. J. C. Carmichaefs s guests, were there, the former wearing a pale blue charmeuse and the latter a white charmeuse yelled with lace and trimmed with bands of fur. Miss Mollie Thurber Of Mobile who is regent Tor the youngest chapter in the state, was one of the interesting. out of town guests, as was Mrs Caffey of Huntsville.
 The entertainment was a beautiful one, and the only regret was that all of the visitors were not able to grace the occa- sion with their presence.
