derful creations of nature, there nat
urally come new activities socially,
and each hostess seems to vie with
the other In planning delightful modes
OF entertainment. One Of the most
pleasurable affairs in which the mem
bers OF the Friday Club have particl-
pated was the entertainment given
yesterday afternoon by Mrs. w. 8.
Howell. The motif and appointments
were quite novel and featured the
cotton" scheme throughout every
detail OF arrangement being carefully
observed. Myriads OF flowers were
used In making the rooms a yeritable
scene OF springtime loneliness, and
the guests, having already been i'm.
bued with joyous spirits, found thor
ough enjoyment in conyerslng with
each other and participating In the
novel features OF entertainment which
the hostess had planned for them
Handsome palms and ferns In pro.

reception hall, while In the music
room white hyacinths, roses and iris
seemed especially designed for the
delicately tinted room. The pink hue
Of roses found a harmonious setting
in the library adjoining. Amid these
environments, tables we're placed and
a series Of interesting games Of six.

iature bales OF cotton with white
linen tags attached furnished appro-

Enjoyable Church Tea

At times we are content to enjoy
that society which solitude makes
best, but the call for social inter.
course made to our natures is one
that cannot be resisted, and nowhere
can we find a more ideal place for
the exchange of greetings and inter.
mingling with our friends than at an
informal church tea. The guests are
not confined to the members OF one
exclusive church, and as conse.
Quence the relation brought about is
conducive to harmony in purpose and
interest. Yesterday afternoon at the
home OF Mrs. ]. L. Edge occurred one
OF these teas. The attractive rooms
were sweet with spring blossoms, and
the numerous callers found a most
gracious welcome awaiting them
Tempting refreshments were served,
and most enjoyable social time was
spent.

Little beds OF flowers,
Little pots Of paint,
Make a pretty cottage
Out OF one that amt.

At villa Maria civic pride and In
dustry are showing themselves in a
modest way, yet under some difficult
ties, one OF which is a scarcity OF
water otherwise than for household
purposes. The possibility Of the city
water main being extended to the
academy inspires a fresh impetus to
beautify the spacious grounds. How
ever, not daunted by having to work
under difficulties, flower beds have
been planted with the old fashioned
and harder shrubs; vines are seeking
to make both brick buildings more at
tractlve; hedges are replacing fences;
new hitching posts are being placed
and a careful, systematic planting OF
shrubbery has been feature Of i'm
provement. The basketball and ten
mis- courts are in good condition for
practice, looking forward to field day
early in May, while the campus is be
ing prepared for May pole and folk
dances. The manager Of the interur'
ban promises an extension Of the cleo
trio line to the convent in the near
future, and the company will soon re-
pair the terminals at the convent and
terrace the grounds left somewhat un'
slightly at the first laying of the track
An improvement OF the entire front
age, It is hoped, will be contemporary
with the improvement of the road un'
der the bond issue.
Some fifty fruit trees have recently
been planted; several kinds of berries
are giving promise for the future; the
large vineyard has been gone over by
two of our competent young towns
men, and several fine pecan trees
bore their first nuts this season.
A large and well-tended garden
makes one look forward to fresh vege
tables in wholesome abundance and

The Bryan people are now thor
oughly responsive to every suggestion
OF cleaning up the town. Never be-
fore has so much civic work been at
tempted at one time. A curb and gut
ter is now being built around the
Methodist Church and parsonage, and
the grounds will be otherwise i'm
proved.
The Baptist Church has just com.
pleted a curb and gutter, and new
walks are being added where neces.
sary. But, best OF all, the unsightly
alley that for years has been dis
grace to the community has been con-
verted into a driveway Of crushed
rock, which adds greatly to the gen.
eral appearance OF the church
grounds. The parsonage grounds,
which are very low, have been filled
and leveled.
The Episcopal Church has a new
curb, flowers and a terraced lawn,
which makes II especially attractive.
The Presbyterian Church has con-
verted two lots into a playground for
children. There will be a tennis
court, merry-go-round, basketball
grounds, swings and horizontal bars.
Vines and flowers have been planted.
