Last Friday, Mrs. ]. II. Price enter
tanned eleven ladies at one o'clock
luncheon in honor of her mother, Mrs.

not told of it by the hostess, with ap-
propriate gifts. The table was beau
tiful with its Easter suggestions, long
yellow streamers running from the CEN
terpiece to the plates. At the end
were cornucopias made of dainty hand
kerchiefs filled with Easter candies as
favors for the guests. The party was
such delightful one that each of the
guests was of the opinion that she en-
joyed its celebration as much as Mrs.

Recent activity in Masonic circles was
made evident by the long-continued

with appropriate remembrances. After
the delightful dinner the guests were
unanimous that Mrs. Shaulis ability as
cook was improving as well as her
age.
The Junior-Senior reception, to be
given tonight at the l. d. Hale home.
