Mr.. AND MRS. D. FOX SWIFT
GIVE LOVELY DANCE

One of the loveliest entertainments
of many seasons, in the nature of
terphiscorean affairs, vas the dance
rendered at the Elks Club, on Wash
ington avenue, Monday evening, when
Mr.. and Mrs. D. Fox Swift, of Swift
town, were host and hostess to their
many friends and admirers.
Though living several miles south
of Greenwood, Mr.. and Mrs. Swift
have inseparably linked themselves
by their many charms and attractions
with our social circle; and since the
acquisition of this lovely T~enneessean
into our Incompatible set of young
matrons, she and her popular young
husband have proven themselves in
dispensable to u social circles.
At nine o'clock Monday evening
their guests began to gather at the
palatial home of the Elks, and were
met in the parlors by Mr.. and Mrs.
Swift. At nine-thirty the guests
assembled to the spacious ball room
on the third floor, to receive their
programs from Miss Lucy Mckay and
Mrs. W. S.. Dundas. Mr.. and Mrs.
Swift were also assisted by Mesdames
H. w. Hagan and ]. A. Tyson, and
Misses Esther and Flora Reiman, in
the entertainment of the honored
guests.
The ball room presented a most
beautiful scene. From its center,
around the main indirect chandelier,
red, white and blue streamers ran
their course to the four orner of
the hall, dainty and effective flags
being dotted along it's borders. Flags
adorned the four walls, and vertical
red, white and blue etchings of
liberty bells were hung in palisadil
effect between the windows, with
dainty flag effects at its lower apices.
Exquisite taste was splendidly used in
the adornment of the ball room with
this appealingly effective patriotic
scheme, in keeping with the prepared.
ness and George Washington birthday
ideas.
The orchestra stand was also
banked with the pretty red, white
and blue covering, and wonderful
music was rendered by the Big ST,
Orchestra. The guests were present
ed, as they entered, with chic pro
grams, carrying out the patriotic
scheme, numbering twenty dances
which were exchanged by the merr!
jewellers. The first five number
were strictly programmed, and tn
remaining fifteen, and the five extras
were allowed favors.
At midnight, the guests repaired t,
, the lower parlors where they. wer,
served a most refreshing salad an,
coffee combination course by Mes
danes J. A. Tyson, w. S. Dundas
and Misses Lucy Mckay, Flora an
Esther Reiman, in faultless manner
After this pleasant intermission
the dancing was resumed, and con
tinued until almost two O'Clock. TIL,
dance was unquestionably one Of tn
most thoroughly enjoyable eve
given in this city. Mr.. and Mrs
Swift move among their guests wit
such a happy faculty that their yer
presence explains the pleasure S
unmistakably attendant upon thei
!, entertainment: The delight of thei
guests Monday evening was so eS
pressibly natural, and it was with ex
: ceeding reluctance that the flu

> when the strains of "Home Swee
y Home" announced the time of de
Z parture.
