MISS BROWN COMMUNICATED.

girls who have left the home nest K
grace other homes, and while society
will miss her and grieves to give hel
up, still as the nan of hef choice comes
from another city, all that can. is beinp
done to make her last girlhood DAYS
doubly bright.
First among the many attentions
showered upon her was on Tuesday af.
ternoon, Nov. s, when Miss Pole Do
gan gave q very unique, original party
in honor of Miss Brown.
Each girl was invited to come at 2:3O
and bring sewing bag and favorite re-
cipe. They arrived, fearing their des-
tiny, not knowing whether they would
be required to look OF sew; but the jol-
ly little hostess soon set things going
SO smoothly that work seemed as play.
When she gave each q daintily hemmed
napkin with the brides new initial,
I'M stamped upon it, the deft fin
! gers were soon at work. all the while
the merry voices keeping time to the
lovely music furnished by Miss Roberta
Dubard. Only too quickly was this la.
Dor of love-for such it was to this
beautiful bride -en and each looked
upon her work with pride. Miss jamie
Bateman of Little Rock was declared
the winner of the prize, a pretty pic
ture of a bride.
Then to the strains of Medelssohn's
Wedding March they were ushered into
the dining room, which was decorated
in pink and white. Instantly every eve
rested upon the brides chair, having
clusters of daintily-arranged bows, the
ends of which were carried to the cleo
t%rolier, where large bows were formed.
Underneath this electrolier covering
the table was a handsome ~battenber0
lunch cloth, with a cut glass vase Of
pink and white carnations in the center.
On the back of the place cards were
original toasts, which were read and
enjoyed by all. Then Miss Brown
read the response, declaring her last
Will and testament, ~bequeathing to the
old maids all the rights and privileges
she had heretofore enjoyed.
After a delicious salad course, Mrs.
Pressgrove read some final advice to
the bride. The honoree was then pre-
sented with a book, "A Gallery of
Girls"
On Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 6.
Miss Ruby Tatum entertained at q most
elaborate linen shower. The house was
exquisite in its decoration of pink roses
and ferns. Rock was the game PLAYED
and each table carried a cover decora-
ted with cupids and hearts, the same
idea being carried out in the score
cards. In the receiving line were Miss
Ruby Tatum, Miss Bateman and the
b~ride-elect; while another charming
daughter of the home, Miss Courtney
Tatum, introduced the guests in her
own delightful way. In the parlor
were the brides mother and Mrs. Hol-
ley, grandmother of the Tatum fam
lily, While here, there and everywhere
making everyone feel at home, were
Mrs. Tatum and her youngest daugh-
ter, jamie.
After number of very spirited
games had been played, the guests
were invited into the beautiful dining
room. The table showed perfect ar
tlstic taste in its flmy lace cloth over
PINK satin, the centerpiece being a
basket OF pink roses surrounded by |
PINK shaded candies. The ices were
pink cupids in shells, while the cakes
were white hearts with key" written
IN pink, and the dainty souvenirs were
small gold keys tied with pink ribbon. |
When the guests returned to the
parlor, the bride, in a gorgeous draped
OF pale blue charmeuse, was
seated in the bay window beneath a
basket OF pink roses, from which fell
long streamers of pink tulle.

of which was a large clothes basket,

Each departing guest expressed the
wish that the honoree might find "a

had found in so pleasant an after
loon.
Another elegant affair in honor of the
lappy bride-eIect was a handkerchief
hover given at the stately Dubard
