for buttons is today extremely ridicu.
lous. They are not only of enormous
size, some of them as big as six pound
crowns. but miniatures and pictures
are made upon them, and this orna-

OF them represent the medals of the

ENJOYABLE Church Teas

At times we are content to enjoy
that society which solitude makes
best, but the call for social intercourse
made to our natures is one that can
not be resisted. and nowhere can we
find more ideal place for the ex-
change of greetings and interminglins
with our friends than at an Informal
church tea. The guests are not CON
fined to the members Of one eX-
elusive church, and as a consequence
the relation brought about is condu-
Give to harmony in purpose and inter.
ests. During the week two OF these
church teas we're given, the first on
Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Eugene Edge, when Mrs. Edge.
Mrs. Greed, Mrs. f. F. Parks and Mrs
w. y. Johnson were hostesses. 1t was
an ideal spring day and It seemed that

ervwhere prontiOus for q large attend

decorated with carnations and hya-
clnths. tastefullv arranged in cut glass
vases IN the parlor, where the guests
were served with refreshments, con
sisting of chicken salad, sandwiches,
pickles and apricot ice.
On Friday afternoon the Young

home of Mrs James In every way
lends itself a most adaptable place
for a social gathering. and with her
acting as a directive hostess nothing
was left undone that would contribute
IN the success of the tea. The rooms
were resplendent with myriads OF
spring flowers and it was In such
lovely environment that the guests
were served with a tempting salad
course, consisting Of pressed chicken,
olives, crackers and grape ice. The

Tea at Library

1t is a pleasure to note the earnest.
ness with which the work OF clean.
up campaign for Bryan is being enter.
ed into by the members OF the Bach.
elor Girls and Young Ladies' Reading
Clubs of this city.
From the time the proposed plan Of
operation was inaugurated few
weeks ago, the enthusiasm OF these
young club ladies has never tagged,
but has gained strength and determi-
nation every day. They are using
their best efforts in this undertaking.
and The Eagle hopes that everybody
In Bryan will not only appreciate their
efforts but will help them to accom-.
plish the end in view, viz, a clean,
sanitary Bryan.
At the spring season when yegeta-
ton is rank, the cutters filed with
an accumulation from the winter
rains, dampness and diesase lurking
beneath piles of trash in back yards,
alleys lined with tin cans, each hold
ing a house full of mosquitoes and
many other dangerous disease breed
ers, to say nothing OF the startling
evidences of the lack OF civic pride,
all will agree that the task OF clean
up campaign for Bryan is not an easy
job. Money will be necessary. of
course, and the Young Ladies Read
ing Club and the Bachelor Girls have
announced joint tea in the reading
rooms OF the library next Tuesday
from to p. m, and invited every
body who feels an interest in the work
to come.
The Eagles wish for the young
ladies' tea on that day is: A clear
day a crowded house, and enough
money in their treasury to complete
the noble work they have undertaken.
