The dinner at the Methodist church
Tuesday was one of the pleasant So

The Mothers and Others Club seems
to be developing a number of public
speakers. Women who have always
been regarded as timid and reserved,
can wax eloquent when it m to

teresting reading matter in a wom-
ans magazine.

Sunday School class at the home of
Mrs. j. G. Livingston Thursday even
ing was snow bound. That is to say
the attendance was small; those who
braved the storm, however, were well
repaid for their trouble. The warmth
and cheeriness within the lovely Liv-
ingston home made the guests forget
the storm outside. A short program
was enjoyed as follows: vocal solo by
Miss Mildred Wallace reading by
Miss Marie Rose, song by Miss vir-
ginia Parker, piano selection by Miss
Mary Lee Burks. The remainder Of
the evening was spent in playing
charades and devouring sandwiches,
ice cream and cake and candy.

splendid paper on Gen. r. E. Lee, Miss
Rosamond told entertainingly of the
graces of Mrs. R. E. Lee, Miss Maud
Wallace and Annie Lewis, two of
Mexico's best readers, each gave a
reading. The party was dignified by
the presence of four old Confederate
soldiers. After the program, re-
freshments were served. This was
one of the best meetings of the Fed
ration.
Miss Ligia Bolts was at home to
twenty-five of her friends Wednesday
afternoon from three to six. The
guests were all excited for it had
been rumored that the hostess engag-
ment would be announced. After the
young ladies had spent an hour over
their fancy work little Miss Eliz-
abeth Bolts passed each guest a small
roll of blue paper which contained her
fortune. These were read aloud, and
furnishd much amusement. Mrs.
Bolts read a poem purpoting to be
from a noted fortune teller, which
told the interesting secret of the af-
ternoon, the engagement of Miss
Ligia Hawkins Bolts to Mr.. Robert
Warren Howe Mish of Staunton, Wiz

pink tulle bows.
