The spacious home of Mrs. R.
F. Goodlett was thrown open
Wednesday afternoon from three
to five for the entertainment of
the As YOU ike.It |" club and a
large number of other guests.
The warmth inside, the bright
glow of the freight and the
beauty and fragrance of great
bowls Of roses was in marked
contrast to the bleak ice covered
out of door world.
Tables were arranged for fifty.
two and almost the entire lower
floor was filled with axthrong of
happy guests. The Edison ma
chine furnished music. At the
close of the games, the postman's
whistle was heard and the uni
formed postman Miss Josephine
Goodlett) entered with his bag
which held mail for each guest.
When all had been delivered a
shower of good wishes was given
to Miss Eleanor Blair as the tiny
letters bore the following an
nouncement: Blair Buchanan,
February twenty-eight, Nine
teen Seventeen"
A most delicious salad course
with coffe and confections was
served. Hearts, Brides roses
and white ribbon used in refresh
ments and score cards were sug-.
gestive of the approaching we'd
ding.
Mrs. Goodlett is a cordial and
gracious hostess and her enter
tainments are always lovely.
This one, in which she was ably
assisted in entertaining by her
sisters, Mrs, Mcgee and Miss
Blair and aunt, Mrs. Clifton, was
especially pleasing.
