Presbyterian Silver Tea


was a very lovely silver tea given this
afternoon by the Ladies' Aid Society
of the Presbyterian church, at the
home of Mrs. r. G. Blake, on South
Fourth street. On account of the in
clemency of the weather, the attend
ance was not as large as it would
have been otherwise, but those attend
ing greatly enjoyed the informal af
fair, which was made most charming
by Mrs. Blake and the ladies who as
sisted her, namely: Mrs. 6. S. Scott,
Mrs. e. L. Carney, Mrs. d. E! Nc
Iyer, Mrs. j. II. Taylor, Mrs. G. W..
Martin and others.
In the dining room, at prettily APP
POINTED table laid with handsome
luncheon set, the hostess mother, Mrs.
S. F.. Sanders, Mrs. S. E. Waterman,
Mrs. G. E.. Schuey and Mrs. A. Y.
Strunk poured tea and coffee, the two
former pouring the first hour and the
two latter the last hour. Served with
the beverages were sweet waters.
The house was attractively adorned
with cut flowers and several delight
full musical numbers gave additional
pleasure. In the living room Mrs.
Blake had number of pieces of his
torical old silver which are treasured
heirlooms in Ocala families. Among
the collection were pieces belonging
to members of Mrs. Blake's family,
to Mrs. Waterman, Mrs. John Bal
ley, Mrs. Won Engelken and several
others. There were silver buttons
that went through the revolutionary
war and had been buried two or three
times during the civil war for safe
keeping. They belong to Mr.. B. FL.
Sanders, a brother of Mrs. Blake. A
very old coffee urn, brought by Mrs.
Won Engelken from Germany, was
greatly admired; in fact, all of the
pieces came in for q goodly share Of
close inspection and admiration.
