guished. Her phenomenal career,
Tess of the Storm Country" the
drama of a womans unconquerable
faith, written by woman who
knows her sex, will appeal TO the
entire feminine population of the
world and the other half. The story
of Tess" with her quaint philosophy
OF life, at once humorous and pathe-
tic, is one of the most powerful char
acterizatlons ever conceived. "Tess"
is an elemental type of womanhood,
a primitive heart struggling with
modern conditions and the delicate
tortures Of civilization. Mary Pick
ford as Tess" the ragged little
"Squatter" girl, dirty, but beautiful,
rude. willful, saucy, but noble and
self-sacrifcing, renders a portrayal
of inexhaustible fascination in the

| on February 81, and entertaining in
! her honor, Miss Lillian wilcox and
Miss Lexie McKinnie were JOINT host
esses last night, at the home of Miss
Wilcox, on East Cervantes street.
The Valentine idea was very prettiIy
carried out in the decorations Of the
three rooms and the reception han,
which were thrown open to the guests
and presented a pretty picture in the
pink garlands of hearts, which were
lavishly used everywhere.
From the four corners the pink
hearts futtered in graceful formation
to meet at the chandelier in the center
of each room, where they were caught
with big butterfly bows of pink crepe
the same decorative design being used
in the three rooms. Pink roses were
used on the lace covered dining table,
and the punch was served in the hall
from a big punch bowl, which was
nested in pink hearts, against a back
ground of graceful ferns.
In the library, the small table held
an immense white box, tied about with
wide pink ribbons. looking like some
gigantic CONNECTION receptacle, and on
the entrance of the pretty young
bride-elect, she was presented by the
two hostesses with a key to this treas
ure chest, where she found awaiting
her all manner of pretty gifts from the
friends who had gathered in her honor.
Cut glass, china, linen and lingerie,
made a collection that gave much hap
piness to the recipient, who expressed
her appreciation very gracefully.
The honor guest wore a pretty frock
of mahogany coIored crepe de chine,
Miss Wilcox was gowned in yellow
.charmeuse, and Miss McKinnie in pale
blue crepe de chine.
At the punch bowl little Misses
Mary Wilcox and Evelyn Smith pre-
sided, both wearing white gowns, with
pink ribbons.
While the dainty refreshments were
being served, Miss Gladys Smith re-
cited, giving one of her cleverest i'm
presentations, and after the gifts had
all been admired, one of the diversions
of the evening was a song romance"
Pretty booklets were distributed to the
guests, and they were required to guess
the answers to a number of questions,
in which romance largely figured, the
answer to each being some popular
song.
Among the guests of the evening

honor guest with a silver cream pitch
