Washington, April 26.-President
Wilson has declined to take part in
the great nterdenominational relig-

launched in the churches here tomor-

terested in the movement, along with
all other plans which work for the

has enacted what he calls his self
denial ordinance which is in effect a
determination to make no public
speech and to attend no public gather

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE
At WELLBORN

A most interesting high school de-
batting contest was pulled of at the
Wellborn High School last night in
contesting for s12 and Sc prizes, $12
to 60 to the winning team and Sc to
the losing team. Messrs. l.. NJ. Hewitt,
A. w. Buchanan, Superintendent T. w.
Parker and Mr.. L. G. Manford went
down from Bryan, and Prof. Gee of
the agronomy department Of the A.
and NJ. College was present at the
invitation of the principal and trus-
tees of the school.
The affirmative of the question was
championed by Miss Lola Edison,
Miss Addie Jones and Mr.. willard
Bowling; the defendants of the mega
tive were Mr.. Abram Hensarling, Miss
Lena Lloyd and Mr. JEFF Royder.
The teams chose Prof. Gee and Mr.
Miller as judges and they chose Super
intendent T. W. Parker as umpire.
There had been offered by Mr.. Tom
Royder two special individual prizes,
one to be awarded to the gentleman
delivering the best address and one to
the young lady delivering the best adj
dress. The judges for this contest
were appointed by the principal of
the school, and consisted of l.. NJ.
Hewitt, A. w. Buchanan and l.. G..
Manford.
The addresses were all rendered
with splendid delivery and the argr-
meuts of each speaker demonstrated
a deep study of the subject. which
was: Resolved, That Texas should
enact a compulsory attendance school
law" While it was difficult for the
judges, who gave the most careful at
tention to each address,, keeping care
full tally OF every point made by each
speaker, to determine the result, yet
by a careful calculation of the counts
made it was found that the teamwork
had been won by the negative side,
and the award made by the judges ac-
cordingly. The judges chosen to award
the individual prizes, while acknowl-
edging the closest contest by a ma
iority vote, awarded the prize for the
best address by lady to Miss Addie
Jones, and that for the gentleman to
Mr.. Abram Hensarling.
Superintendent Parker and Mr..
Hewitt, in making the presentations OF
the two awards. laid particular stress
upon the fact that the value Of this
contest to the individuals participating
in it as well as to the entire commur-
ity, did not lay in the intrinsic worth
of the prizes won but rather in the
fact that the contest was source OF
intellectual development, character
builder, and community support.
The interest Of the Wellborn com
munity in educational advancement
was we'll signified by the fact that the
house was crowded to its capacity for
this important occasion. The gentle
men going down from Bryan upon
their return expressed their satisfac'
ton when they said that they would
not have missed the splendid enter
tainment for anything.
The splendid work as shown by the
agricultural gardens in connection
with the school, as well as the excel
lent delivery and sound argument por-
t.ayed in each address by the pupils,
IS an excellent witness Of the effi-
cheney OF the splendid corps Of teach
ers of the Wellborn High School. With
such schools scattered over the county
of Brazos her future is well assured.

Mrs. pona carnss, EdItrsss-

to mar the pleasure Of the afternoon,
for the charming honoree. who is so
Iovable, Is held in such regard by her
friends here that her absence was re-
GREETED by all. The weather was most
propitious for springtime event, and
the affair coming on Monday. San
Jacinto party was planned. which was
notably handsome throughout in ele-
gance and beauty of detail, the ap-
pointments and decorations rejecting
the exquisite taste and cordial hospi-
tality which always characterize the
entertainments given by this genial
hostess.
The guests on arrival were invited
in the punch room, which was ex'
ouisite in its floral establishment OF
sweet peas and roses. From an artis-
tically arranged table OF sweet peas
and ferns a delicious iced grape juice,
sailed nuts and red and white mints
were served.
The corridor leading into the par
lors was radiant in its decoration
Roses and carnations OF harmonious
colors filled crystal and brass recep'
tacles that were placed on pedetais
and tables, and at the far end OF the
corridor the Harris orchestra dis
coursed the sweetest of music during
the party hours. The parlors, with
their rich mahogany furniture, were
never so attractive as on this occa-
sion when the tasteful decorations
were in keeping with the spirit OF the
day. the patriotic idea being carried
ont with artistic results. Handsome
wicker baskets placed on mahogany
pedestals held great clusters of gorge
Gus red and white carnations, ana III
the archway between the two parlors
Texas flags were crossed and finished
with red bow. The card tables were
covered in the National colors, red'
white and blue. and the patriotic SEN
timent was further emphasized in the
table markers. The tables in the front
parlor we're marked by guns stacked
in the center, and in the back parlor
small cannons marked the tables.
Fiye.handed five hundred was the
diversion of the afternoon, and with
the royal hospitality with which each
guest was favored, the games were
made most delightful. The score cards
were red. white and blue, and featured
the drummer boy; they also bore ap-
propriate sentences pertaining to the
game. Mesdames Ned Buell. and }. A.
Mcqueen proved themselves the most
successful contestants and received
corsage bouquets Of red and white
carnations.
The elegant refreshment course
served after completing the games
was in keeping with the other APP
nointments of the afternoon, and con-
sisted of an ice course featuring the
red. white and blue.

One Of the ioveliest Inequalities Of
the season, rejecting in every detail
springs freshness and beauty, was the
card party given on Tuesday afternoon
by Miss Mary Ross Parker when she
entertained the Bachelor Girls Club
complimentary to Miss Stella Lacy OF
Waco, Miss Zula Nash Of Austin and
Miss Louise Batter Of Abilene. The
same charming air Of old-fashioned
cordially and hospitality which al
ways pervades the atmosphere OF this
home made itself felt on this occasion
when sixty guests assembled to meet
these sweet honorees and to accept
the hostess hospitality. The floral
adornment OF this elegant home, with
it's inlaid floors, handsome rugs and
lovely furnishings, was beautifui
masses OF graceful ferns and cluster
ing blossoms showing to charming adj
vantage throughout the spacious
rooms. American Beauty roses filed
the splendid broad hall with their
beauty and fragrance, brass recep'
tacles places on taborettes and pedes-
tails holding the lovely blossoms. AT
the right of the hall the beauty OF the
music room with its old rose draperies
was enhanced by graceful arrange
ment of Easter lilies and callas, long
stemmed and regal in their beauty;
crystal vases placed on mantel, table
and cabinets held these exquisite dos
SONS and each cluster seemed espe-
cially fitted to its place.
LaFrance roses, together with carna'
tions, in profusion furnished the floral
adornment of the sitting room and
gave a touch of color where pink was
the color note.
The dining room was exquisitely
lovely in its floral establishment OF
mink and green, carnations and sweet
peas being the only flowers used. The
polished table beneath the soft glow
OF the electrolier was overlaid with
Cluny cloth in the center of which
rested a crystal vase filled with carna-
lions. while at the base were strewn
graceful sprays of the favored BIOS
SONS, together with a butterfly bow
of pink maline. A soft radiance was
diffused over the table by unshaded
pink tapers held in crystal candle
sticks. Amid the superb decorations
were placed the game tables and the
company enjoyed the pleasure of five
handed five hundred through many
progressions. During the contest
mints were passed and all during the
afternoon an enjoyable musical pro-
gram was discoursed.
The honorees of the occasion were
the recipients of special souvenirs in
the form of gold circle friendship
pins. Mrs. Ned Buell. of Detroit, Mich,
showed unusual skill in playing cards
and was also the fortunate winner OF
gold friendship pin.
The serving OF salad course with
iced tea formed fitting finale to this
graceful hospitality.
