BUFFET SUPPER;
 MRS. HOUSTON DAVIS HOSTESS

The Hewitt-Drennen wedding which is to be celebrated this evening at o'clock at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. William Drennen, was preceded last night by pleasant meeting of the two families and the young people in the bridal party at the home of MT. and Mrs. George Hous- ton Davis and MT. and Mrs. Earle Drennen. This joint hospitality was de- lightfuA buffet supper given at an early hour. the nuptial party going later to the William Drennen residence, where the re- hearsal for the wedding took place.
 Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Drennen had made their home most inviting for their enter tainment. On the veranda was a bowl of mint ice placed on a corner table graced with fresh flowers. The interior was also cool and charming; daisies and nastur- tiums made 1t more attractive and gave suggestion of the approaching wedding, in which the color scheme is to be vel low and white. On the table was a large flat hasket. filled with the two varieties of summer blossoms, and the hints and candies which filled the compotes were in the yellow tint
 Mrs. Drennen wore an exceedingly at- tractive white dinner gown made of taf- feta and crepe de chine. Mrs. Davis, in white lace and net, with a wide pink girdle, was also unusually pretty. The honoree, Miss Fannie Drennen, wore blue lowered chiffon costume made over taffeta.
 Those who shared this pre-nuptial hos pitality were MT. and Mrs. Hubert Dren- nen, MT. and Mrs. W. D. Johnston of Bol- jgee Mrs. Merle McElroy of Orlando Fla, Mrs. William Drennen, Miss Lula Flynn,

and lettuce salad, cream cheese and crackers, strawberry mousse and pink and white cakes, pink and white bon bons. salted nuts, olives, black coffee.
 You may, of course, introduce an entree of croquettes or timbales and serve pink Roman punch at another stage of the din- ner. think the menu I suggest in better taste In warm weather. Elaborate din- ners become wearisome when the mer- cury is up. To make a fruit punch have cubes of orange and pineapple inter- spersed with ripe scarlet strawberries. sweetened with powdered sugar and made more piquant by glass of sherry, mixed daintily together with cracked Ice and water and served ice cold in wide mouthed punch glasses. The general effect of the pink dinner is extremely pleasing; the soft, roseate glow diffused by lights and decorations is becoming to all complex ions.

Menu for Small Dinner

T am going to entertain at dinner two couples, one married and one unmarried couple. 1 want to serve seven courses. Will you suggest a menu and tell me how to serve it? Also, how to serve fruit punch? "R. A."
 Since this is the heyday of the year in the rose garden, why not have a pink dinner? Decorate the table with a big bowl of pink roses and a single great half opened rose laid beside each plate. If you have pink china make use of it and have the candle and gas light soft ened by pink shades. What do you think of this menu: Grapefruit dotted with Maraschino cherries, cream of beet soup, boiled salmon with anchovy sauce. potato cones, crown roast o falmb with mint sauce, the projecting bones tipped with frinsed pink tissue paper; young carrots stewed and mixed with green peas, young beets served with sauce tartare. tomato

Fell on Friday

q should like to know on what day of the week fell the 9th of June, 1871. I shall watch the Corner for an answer.
 MRS. M. G."
 It fell on Friday, or so reports trust worthy friend at my elbow. I take occa- sion to say that a woeful experience in this line has shut the Corner against such queries for years past. After consulting a perpetual calendar, which may be had from any stationer, the desire to please all and every one of my constituents led me oreply to the first requests of this nature. Then they came in like a flood. Every family longed to know on what day of the week each member was born. One woman sent me list of 30 or her blood relations. Made frantic by the storm I shut the door then and for all time. make an exception in your favor because I did not have to look up the date myself to the neglect of actual du- ties Pardon the length of the explana- tion. It is a life preserver.

The other. hate to confess it. but perhaps he succumbed to my cooking. The children-even MT. Pumpkins baked at it, but dear, faithful, uncomplaining Gyp, always partook heartily of it, as though he really en- joyed it.
 "The dog doctor,' Mrs. Pumpkins went on, wiping away a fresh crop of tears, said it was a lack of exercise. I wish coudl cry out a pardon for every dog that Is kept a prisoner. You don't know how I reproach myself now for keeping poor old Gyp out of dog society and try ing to make him associate with human beings. It's wicked, I tell you, to house an animal. I am sure that when God gave them those sturdy little legs and a love for the fresh air and the little bound- ing spirit of adventure, it was never meant that they should exist in cooped up house and small back yard. Until I die, shall never forget how Gyp used to sit in the window and watch me as I'd go down the street. I guess he was won dering why he was not free and why he couldn't roam about as other dogs who used to, who stopped at the window and gazed up at him and looked as if they were laughing at him.
 "Oh, well, it is too late now to think of things like that said Mrs litter, try ing to be merry. "He was well taken care of, anyway"
 He had an interesting character did Gyp,' said Mrs. Pumpkins. Unlike many people I know. he always knew his own mind He seldom wavered. He loved to fight. loved it dearly. I could see that.

Authorship of Old Proyerb

We have had lively argument in our girls reading club as to the authorship of 'Consistency's jewel One says Shakespeare, but fails to find it. An other says it may be found in an old play called Robin Roughhead,' by an Irish man. Can you decide the question?
 ROSA L. If I could settle the mooted point should be the first person to do it. The adage is an old proverb that comes so near being Shakespeare that he tells us Unless experience be jewel" As to the Irishman's play, Jolly Robin Rough head" it was hoax throughout. As one critic has it, Both ballad and book are figments of the trickster's imagination" The proverb is hardly worth quarreling over. It Is truism that might have been uttered by an one of us.
