friends. Mrs. Hickson is well known

exchange, will be OF two-fold interest
to many of our readers, as the honor
guest Thursday is a member of a
we'll known Micanopy family:
The most beautiful and delightful
social event of the season was the
reception given by Mrs e. A. Hick-

6 o'clock, in honor of the young Ia
dies of the Royal Needlework Club,
whom she had invited to be her

this home and meet the young ladies
Mrs. Hickson invited a number of
her special friends. About thirty
five were present.

robed in a lovely gown of white
MORE silk, the waist OF which was
Of rare lace draped over pink, receiy-
ed her guests at the entrance of the
broad yeranda, artistically decorated
with palms, ferns, begonias and other
greenery, yeritable bower of trop-
ical beauty. and pointed the way to a
shady nook where three young la
dies, Miss Kittie Carlton, Belle Chit
ty and Ruth Price, stood beside an
exquisitely appointed table and dis
pensed most delicious punch during
the evening.
Mrs. Hickson announced that her
guests were at liberty to enjoy the
hospitality of her home in an infor-
NAL way, go where they chose and do
as they pleased. The happy feminine
faces, the handsome gowns, the fairy
like scene of the decorations made
a beautiful picture.
Miss Vida May and Miss Charlse
Watkins discoursed beautiful music
at intervals, which was very much
enjoyed.
About o'clock Mrs. Hickson an
nounced that Miss May would give
one of her vocal selections and asked
that all come into the parlor that
they might better hear the song.
After the song was ended Mrs. Hick-
son advanced to the center of the
room, bearing a silver tray on which
was bullying paper bag tied with
ribbons. She told the company that
she had a secret to divulge and at
once united the ribbons and out
jumped little kitten and around his
neck were tiny ribbons to which
were attached two pink hearts. The
kitten was soon being passed from
