Five O'clock Tea

The Newton home on Third
street was the scene Of q very
delightful gathering last even
ing when Mrs. Harry r. New
ton and Mrs. w. j. Booher en-
sertained fifty ladies at q very
enjoyable FIVE o'clock Tea. At
ter the guests had all assembled
they were informed that they
were expected to do some ''pos-
ing which will later be shown
in the moving picture film acted
by Mo. Valley people.
independence Day furnished
the inspiration for the decora-
tions Of the various rooms.
Large red, white and blue pa
per ornaments were suspended
from the chandeliers and Amer
lean flags were used in every
conceivable place. The fire
place in the living room was
banked with red American
Beauty roses. The roses were
presented to the hostesses as q
surprise by Mr.. Harry Newton,
and needless to say, everybody
as we'll as the hostesses enjoyed
them. The dining room and
living room both were complete
" filled with small tables.
Each one having a fire cracker
and an American flag surround
ed by a wreath of red ramblers,
as a centerpiece. The name
cards were adorned with Amer
lean flags and the nut cups
were also red. The large table
in the dining room was prettily
decorated, carrying out the
same idea. A miniature cannon
occupied the center position
and fire crackers Of all descrip.
tions were strewn around the
table. Each lady found an
American Beauty rose at her
place. During the serving of
the "Tea" Mr.. Carl Puffer and
and Miss nellie South delighted
the ladies by playing various
selections, both classical and
ragtime. Misses Josephine
johnson, Bess Fensler and
Louise Newton assisted in serv-
ing the three course Tea in
which the American colors were
perfectly carried out. Mes
danes Irwin, Ross Coulthard
and r. L. Coulthard Of Califor-
MIA, and Mrs. WEIGH Of Water
loo were among the out of
tom guests.

Dinner Party

Upon arriving home last
evening for his customary even
ing meal, Dell Myers was great
" surprised to find ten young
gentlemen friends waiting t.
greet him. After he regained
consciousness he was informed
that his sister, Pearl, had asked
the gentlemen in to dinner to
help him celebrate his twenty
second birthday properly. Plac-
es were found at q handsomely
decorated table, withred, white
and blue decorations. A low
bouquet Of red, white and blue
hollyhocks formed an attractive
centerpiece and American flags
further added to the effect.
Misses Pearl Myers, Idabelle
Briggs and Ruth Myers served
a delicious three course dinner.
The places were found in a very
novel manner. Different pic
lures of automobile wrecks
were cut out and a few lines of
poetry were written on each
one in such a manner that each
guest finally recognized an &C
cident that he had experienced
some time in an automobile.
The evening hours were taken
up in doing various stunts"
and having both vocal and in
strumental selections. Upon
leaving, the young men all in
formed Miss Pearl that they
would try to be on hand and
help Dell out next year in cele.
brating his twenty-third birth.

the young minister from a

filling an appointment in the
West Church at Pin Hook City.

must stop, and that is their
practice of cranking up before

which has offices in Athens, Decatur
and Florence. Mr.. Robinson is known
to practically every farmer in north

having been engaged in the cotton
business for six years. He has been

great confidence in his judgment
Mr.. Robinson is one of the most
progressive citizens of Florence. He is
part of the community life and
wherever work is to be done for the
advancement of Florence or Lauder

the first to take it up.
