NIFicENT WORK

Congressman Sparkman and Law
renee Dozier of Leesburg deserve
great credit for the work they have
done in getting the rivers and har-
/ bors committee of the house to appro-
pirate $4,000 for giving the Ottawa
! ha river a depth of six feet and width
of sixty feet from its mouth in the
st Johns to the lakes of Lake county,
! which means rapid development for
one of the most fertile sections Of
Florida" said Charles Miller of Ocala,
| one of the most active real estate
men of the state, who is in the city
on business.
! st is impossible to estimate the
value of this project to the state. and
the attitude of members of the rivers
and harbors committee makes the
appropriation practically certain"
continued Mr.. Miller. Congressman
Sparkman has again demonstrated
his influence at Washington. and
Lawrence Dozier, who has worked
for the project for long time has
furnished data proving beyond all
question that the project is a most
worthy one From all reports, Flor
ida will fare well indeed in the
rivers and harbors bill, and this fact
again makes 1t evident that Stephen
NJ. Sparkman is the right man In the
right place. Although Frank. Clark
always gets what he goes after. and
Is deservedly influential at Washing

BEAUTIFUL COMPLIMENT TO
MRS. kElDEL AND MRS. AK

The past few weeks in Ocala have
been so crowded with beautiful social
affairs that it has taxed the ingenui-

justice to their .attractiveness. No
place, we are sure, has lovelier host
esses who give such pretty parties as
those given in Ocala. and the auction
party at which Mrs. Dan Morgan
Smith entertained over fifty of her
friends Thursday afternoon was GER
tainly a very enjoyable affair. Her
lovely home, filed with guests and
beautifully decorated, formed n set
ting of unusual loneliness.
Mrs. Henry Keidel and her dangh.
ter. Mrs. Christian AK, of Baltimore,
were the honored guests at this func-
ton.
The living room, library and dining
room were used for the card players
and all of those rooms were very
lovely with ferns, vines and tall vas
es of beautiful pink carnations, low
bowls of violets. pansies and nastur-
tiums.
The hall was decorated entirely
with bignonia vines and blossoms.

son, William Anderson, Woodrow, Wa
terman. Munroe. Holder, Hart, and
Misses Alice Bullock, Meta Jewett,
Mamie Taylor, Dorothy Schneider,
Hilda Budd, Marie Won Engelken and
Daisy Keidel.
The whist players were Mesdames
Carney, Wolff, Watt, Newsom, Peek,
Jake Brown, Guy Aver and Miss 10.
SepuiH6 Williams.
Mrs Keidel was awarded the first
prize, handsome bridge set; Mrs.
Hickman, the second prize, a Japan
est luncheon set and Miss Schneider,
the BOBBY, an Apology to September
Morn" statuette. Mrs. Wolff was
awarded pretty vase for her skill at
whist.
AS the guests arrived Mrs Sidney
Halle was serving appolonaris punch,
on the front veranda The table was
entirely hidden by masses of nastur-
tiums.
Others assisting Mrs. Smith at her
pretty party were Mrs. Maughs, Mrs.
Aver. Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Drake.
Besides the card players, Mrs.
Smith also entertained during the aft.
ernoon Mrs. Ford. Mrs. Kilgore, Mrs.
McIver. Mrs. Tydings, Mrs Jack
Camp and Mrs. Charlotte Coombs,
and as the afternoon was such a
balmy one these ladies sat on the We.
randa and enjoyed a charming hour
together.
At fve-thirty o'clock the card
games were concluded, and a salad
course and a coffee course was served
on the card tables.
