Mrs. G. Fl. Ingraham was hostess
at prett four-course luncheon on
Saturday, given for her daughter Miss
Ruth. The appointments we're care
fully carried cat in a pink and white
color scheme. The dining table was
conferred with a huge basket of pink
roses to which dainty pink ribbons
were attached leading to the hand
painted place-cards. After the first
course was served. the ribbons were
pulled and eacn guest received tiny
envelope which contained an artistic
card bearing the names of Ruth Baily
Ingraham and Erwin Couch Dawley,
announcing the engagement of this
young couple. The announcement
came as surprise to the guests and
congratulations followed. Auction fol-
lowed the luncheon. Three tables
were played and the prize for highest
score was won by Mrs. NJ. w. Sweet.
The health committee of the Ladies'
Literary club include the following
members: Mrs. +. p. Stone, Mrs. G.
ID. Jones, Mrs. Frank Kelly, Mrs.
Walter Alexander and Mrs. w. W.
Albers. This committee held an in
teresting meeting on Thursday after
noon az the home of Mrs. Stone, the
object being to look into tubercular
conditions of the city. The ladies
have literature regarding the disease
which they are glad to Distribute
where 1T is needed. They also are
ready TO furnish nurses to persons
suffering from this trouble. One
thing the committee is most DESTROYS
of doing is to protect the we'll ones in
the tubercular homes. 1t seems a
difficult thing for people to realize
the danger of contagion in this els
ease, and the stand the committee is
taking is commendable one and
should have the cooperation of every
citizen.
