joyable entertainments of the season
was the social meeting of the Yves

ing at the home Of it's teacher, Mrs.
j. W. White.
After the guests had arrived and
assembled themselves in the parIors,

ker. A piano solo by Miss Ernestine
Wicker marked the beginning OF an
, interesting and instructive program.
A recitation by little Miss Elizabeth
White\ followed, With a vocal solo by
Miss Matte Lou Wicker were very
much enjoyed by all. A vocal duet by
Misses Lizzie and Minnie Salter, and
piano solo by Miss Georgia Porter
did their part in making the evening
! enjoyable Then the climax was
reached in the cunning dialogue and
recitations by little Misses Elizabeth
Pitt and Elizabeth White. The pro-
gram was closed by a piano solo by
Miss Annie Williams.
Then after pursuing progressive
conversation for some time, cards
distributed and contest announced.

Bass and E. E. Herlong who are dem
osstrating aluminium utensils here
offered pound cake and the Wear
Ever" pan in which they baked it for
!! the most words made from the letters
in Wear Ever" The contest lasted
five minutes and the sound of bell
marked it's end.
After enumerating and correcting
the words it was found that Miss
Corrie Lee Havird was the lucky con-
testant. She had made twenty-nine
words from the two words "Wear
Ever" Mr.. Dibble with few well
chosen words delivered the cake.
Refreshments were served and con-
versation resumed.
At a late hour and after a very
pleasant evening the light hearted
guests departed.
