Announcement Party.

One of the most effective parties Of
tee season was that given at one o'clock
on Saturday by Mrs. C. H. Calhoun,
when the engagement and approaching
marriage of her attractive young sister
Miss lone Brown to Mr.. Edward Cage
Brewer, was announced.
The home was most artistically deco
rated for the occasion. The color
scheme of green. gold and violet was
carried out with handsome ferns and a
profusion of Springs early harbingers.
jonquils and violets. Golden French
baskets filled with daffodils and tied
with butterfly bows of yellow and Law
ender tulle were suspended in the door
ways between the reception rooms,
while each of the small tables arranged
for the luncheon, carried out the color
motif in the dainty basket of the chos-
en- flowers and, further, in the candle
shades of yellow decorated with ~violets.
Mrs. Calhoun, Miss Brown, Miss Ruth
Hervey of Water Valley, Miss Walker
Hughes, Miss Beulah Buckley, and Mrs.
Ben Brown received the guests as they
arrived and gave them daffodils to each
of which was fastened a small piece of
cardboard. These they were told, when
put together would form a perfect slip
per. As soon as it was done, Miss Mary
Walker Duncan read the following an
nouncement which was found written
on the completed slipper:
On the twenty eighth of March, eigh-
teen and ninety-four,
A golden haired babe was left at the
door
Of her fond parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ].
H. Brown,
And her mothers name, lone, to her
was handed down.
She grew and thrived and today she's
twenty-One,
(And III divulge a little secret before
I'm done)
So hold your breath and don't look wise
For l van this to come as a great sur
prise,
That these same fond parents want you
to hear
OF 1one's marriage in June of this year,
! And formally announce to her friends
today,
That Ed Brewer is the man she has
promised to love, honor and obey.
, After expressions of good wishes, a
most delicious luncheon was served at
small tables arranged for four. the
places were marked by exquisite hand
painted cards in the form of slippers
filled with violets and jonquils. The
chair for the bride-to-be was ornament
ed with a great butterfly bow of yellow
and lavender tulle. The courses of the
luncheon, beautiful in arrangement, and
most appetizing, proved the housewifely
skill of the hostess.
After luncheon a unique fortune con
test added much merriment to the &C.
casion, for almost every fate that can
be imagined for woman, was quantity
told in rhyme. Several games of rock
followed this. after which each guest
was given a tiny arrow with which to
pierce a beautiful cake. Then Miss
Brown cut the cake and found that Miss
Louise Horton, having gained the ring,
would be the next happy bride. Thus
