 The game of progressive five hun dred was featured, and there were ten tables, filled in the main by expert players of this very popular pastime, all Of whom played with d zest and animation which denoted intense interest.
 At ll:30 the last hand was called. alter which there was a counting of scores, and while the delightful hostess superintende dthe serving of delicious luncheon consisting of ba- mana and lemon cocktail, horseradish canape garnished with stuffed olives, creamed turkey in cases, pepper sand wiches, preserved kumquats, coffee, &5c, all artistically ain daintily served, the handsome and gallant host passed the cards to the ladies. who cut for the prize, which Was a handsome Pa. rislan Ivory shoehorn-b buttoner, and awarded box of fragrant cigars to Judge F.

 It was a most happy occasion, in- deed It was the good fortune of the writer to have been honored with an | invitation, and to be present, and we want to take this occasion to say that of late years mixed social gatherings have become very rare in Forrest City. ! The ladies have their clubs of various kinds, and meet together frequently 1 to enjoy the sweet society of their lady friends, but the men folk rarely ever have an opportunity of mingling together and with tue ladies of the city, and as this was the first for long time, and was so grealy enjoyed by men and women, that we hope our society circles will hereafter include the men in their list of guests
