Mrs. TrulOck Hostess.

The jefferson was the scene of a
very beautifully appointed social af-
fair on Tuesday whel Mrs. N. B..
Trulock entertained a large party of
friends with an elaborate Bridge
Luncheon, distinguished by perfec-
ton of detail which marks it as one
of the most delightful of the
seasons entertainments.
The pink dining room had been re-
served aad beautifully decorated for
the occasion and tWenty-one tables
seating four each, were placed for
the guests.
The tables were ornamented with
streamers of pink satin ribbon, and
each bore a handsome center piece
of pink Killarney roses in crystal
vases. Ten tables bore score cards
for the players, those remaining
being for those guests at luncheon
who did not play.
Mrs. S. C.. Alexander and Mrs.
w. N. Trulock greeted the earlier
guests in the parlors and showed
them to the dining room where they
were greeted by the hostess.
Mrs. e. W. Freeman assisted Mrs.
Trulock in welcoming the later
guests at 4 o'clock as they entered
and were seated at the tables, when
an elaborate luncheon of severaA
courses was served. The prizes
were very handsome, the first prize
handsome mahogany tray mounted
in silver was won by Mrs. Drew
White while the second prize, a cut
glass electrolier of beautiful design
was awarded to Mrs. Annabel
Roberts. Those who did not take
part in the game drew for a very
handsome bege-dish of sheffield
plate which was won by Mrs. Neil
Martin. Mrs. W. W. Alexander and
Miss Matte Orto counted the scores.
Seibert's orchestra furnished de-
lightful music throughout the prog
ress of the luncheon, and the after
noon was one of keenest pleasure
to the many who were Mrs. Tru-
locks guests.

a Staple Medicine
for Every Family
No Self Respecting Group OF PeO-
pie Should be without Il Good
Family Laxative.

It is inconceivable in this day of
general intelligence that any family
would be without simple remedy
for the minor ills of life, for often
by giving such remedy in time a
serious disease can be frustrated and
a life saved.
For example, if at the first sign
of a cold a simple laxative-tonic like
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin were
given, the beginning of serious lung
affection or OF typhoid fever might
be vaoided. And also in headaches,
nervousness, etc., a small dose OF this
remedy would relieve the con 5estion
and replace distress with comfort.
Mothers give it to tiny infants and
little children, and grown people take
it with equally good effect.
Thousands of good American homes
are never without it, among them
the home of Mrs. G.. A. Wright, 1881
Pasaden Ave., Long Beach, Cal. She
had considerable trouble raising lit
/ tie Lawrence, three years old, but

drink hath caused a great sobriety
