MOTHER GETS HER CHILDREN

The court gave Mrs. frankie T. Sc
vier the custody of her two children
who had been in possession of Louis.
lana relatives. The case presented
some very pathetic aspects, and had
aroused the interest of number of
women in this city with whom Mrs,
Sewer became acquainted when she
came here in connection with the ap-
peal taken to the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Sewer lived in Atlanta with
her husband and children. The
father became sick and was unable
to take care of the family and the
mother went to work and supported
her husband and children.
The father despairing of recovering
his health and regarding himself
as a burden killed himself. Some
time later the mind of the mother
collapsed under the strain and she
was sent to an insane asylum. While
there charitable organization wrote
to relatives of the husband and they
agreed to take care of the children.
Two of them were sent to a family
in Mississippi and the other two were
turned over to William P. Sewer and
wife. and Albert R. Nicols and wife
of Madison parish, La.
Mrs. Sewer recovered her reason.
and was dismissed from the asylum
and at once took steps to recover her
children. She got possession of those
in Mississippi by habeas corpus, but
had serious trouble in recovering
those in Madison parish. She made
one attempt to take them by force,
but failed and appealed to the law.
The District Attorney of Madison
parish, before whom habeas curpus
proceedings were brought. refused
to disturb existing conditions. and
the mother appealed to the Supreme
Court. The case was argued before
the Supreme Court some time ago,
and Monday the court gave judgment
annulling and reversing the judgment
of the court below, and turned the
over to the possession of the
mother.-Times Picayune.

One oflast weeks most nIeasant soo;,

One oflast week s most pleasant social
events was the shower rendered Miss
Dorothy Slack on Friday afternoon. The
affair was arranged by-Mrs. V. d. Elder.
who issued over forty invitations for the
event. The home of Mrs. Elder was
tastefully decorated with cut flowers and
she was assisted in receiving by Miss
Slack and Mrs. James r. Linton. After
the guest had arrived a word contest
was enjoyed, each guest being asked to
compose sentence from the the letters
in the word matrimony. This occasioned
much fun as many of the sentences were
cleverly arranged and the sentiments
were sometimes bits of pleasantly at the
expense of the prospective bride. A
prettily decorated cart was brought into
the room by Virginia Johnson and placed
before Miss Slack, who was invited to
unload it at once, which she did, and
found it contained bewildering display
of silk lingerie, linen, some china and
other useful articles.
Refreshments of ice cream and cake
were served, feature of this part of
the afternoons entertainment being the
cutting of decorated brides cake in
which the customary ring. thrimble and
money were hidden.
