 The visit of Miss Myrtle Miles to her sister, Mrs. Richard Johnston, for the past week has been the inspiration of many delightful small and informal af- fairs given by old friends. Mrs. William L. Welton was hostess at a luncheon at the Southern club during the week. MT. and Mrs. Will French gave one of the most interesting small parties of the season with Miss Miles as the guest of honor. MT. and Mrs. Solon Jacobs were hosts at their lovely mountain cottage on Sunday evening. Mrs. John Crouch was hostess at a beautiful luncheon at the Southern club, having party of eight. and Mrs. Rivers Carter gave lovely small bridge, with Miss Miles as one of the honor guests, Mrs. William Fitts Of Washington being the other. There were only three tables of bridge, fol- lowed by light refreshments. Saturday the Southern club presented a lovely scene, with all of the tables filled with guests. Among the guests of honor was Miss Miles.
