A DELIGHTFUL LUNCHEON.
Miss Dorothy Boyd Announces Her
Enhancement to James w. Harvey.

Miss Dorothy Boyd, daughter of
Hon. and Mrs. Byron Boyd, was the
hostess Thursday afternoon at her
home on Western avenue, where she
entertained over 80 of her young lady
friends at a very pretty luncheon at
which was announced her engagement
to James w. Harvey Of Augusta, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Roscoe Harvey of
Hallowell and connected with the con-
Germ of Boyd & Harvey Co. The an
nouncement was made on the reverse
side of place cards on which were the
names of the young couple.
Practically the whole house, charm
ingly arrayed under the artistic touch
of Mrs. Boyd, was given over to the
entertainment of the young ladies.
The luncheon was served on small Ia
bles in the parlor and library, where
a very pretty color scheme was adopt
ed, yellow being used entirely on the
tables and throughout the room. Maid
en- hair ferns surrounding marguerites
on the tables made them appear most
attractive. In other parts of the par
lor and library snap dragons COM
pleted the effect. Yellow tulips were
used for decoration in the upper rooms
and other parts of the house.
The presentation of Mr.. Harvey
ring to Miss Boyd came after the
luncheon and was the prettiest fea-
ture of the afternoon. The ring, a
beautiful solitaire, was brought to Miss
Boyd in an after dinner coffee cup,
and Immediately thereafter she receiv-
ed the best wishes of her guests.
An a
few minutes later, when Mutt and
jeff, the hostess little pet dogs, were
brought to her in green bags on which
were embroidered the names of the
animals. Bows of yellow ribbon sur
rounded the dogs necks and made a
very cunning picture.
Both Miss Boyd and Mr.. Harvey
have a host of friends in Augusta and
elsewhere, whose congratulations are
very much in evidence at this time.
The young ladies present were:
Misses Florence Birch, Ruth Capen,
Hazel Chadbourne, Gladys Chernow-

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, May The narrow and
variable movement of stocks today had
little effect on the general list of prices
The market was as dull and fiat as dur
ing yesterdays session and traders made
no attempts to force it out of the groove
in which it has travelled for several
days. Quotations moved alternately up
and down, ending with small losses.
London cables quoted lower prices for
the international shares and reported
selling in that market by Paris and New
York. Taking their cue from this quar-
ter, traders made Experimental offerings
and succeeded in uncoVering few weak
spots. Shares which recently have been
heavy, such as Northern Pacific, Missou-
ri Pacific and Chesapeake q Ohio, were
most susceptible to pressure. Elsewhere
little effect was produced and profess
sional selling failed to bring out any
volume of long stock
With the exception of the government
crop report, there was no news of i'm
portance in relation to the financial mar
kets. The apathetie reception given to
the crop figures indicated the degree of
inertia which prevailed. In fact, the list
receded to the lowest quotations of the
day in the last half hour after the ex-
ceptionally good report had appeared.
Missouri Pacific was the conspicuously
heavy stock on the late recession. yield

was influenced by the continued delay in
announcement of the roads financial

Are factors of the greatest success.
No person can do full justice to
himself without them.
In no season of the year are they

one, and that Hoods Sarsaparilla
