many participants and patrons in the
summer as heretofore All clubs in the
National League seem to have improved
their playing strength and have cap
able managers.

leader. but he is not unknown. Base
ball experts predict his success and
that Chicago will see club this year

fighting hard for every game. St
Louis and Cincinnati are determined to
earn higher places than last year. while
Pittsburgh, with its strong pitching
force. will always be dangerous to
other clubs.
In the east the champion Brooklyns
have strengthened their infield by ac-
quiring Fabrique and expect to repeat.
New York looks formidable. while Bos-
ton and Philadelphia can be depended
upon to furnish the Stallings and Moran

RECEPTION TO MRS WILL NEAL

The beautiful reception on Thurs
day afternoon at which Mr.. Win
Meals bride was presented to Mariet-
ia in her new name was altogether de-
lightful. OF more than 200 ladies
calling most of them had known the
bride either in her childhood or
during her girlhood and it was with
sincere pleasure they welcomed her.
She stood between her husbands mo-
Their and sister, radiantly blissful in
her bridal dress of white Georgette
crepe with silver trimmings and
corsage bouquet of pink sweet peas.
Mrs. W. S. N. Neal was looking well
in motherly serenity dressed in
black pussy willow taffeta trimmed in
white Georgette crepe and wearing
a cluster of white roses.
Mrs. Little was lovely in old rose
silk draped in silk lace trimmed with
silver lace, and finished with satin
roses on the shoulder and at the waist
line.
The reception room was in pink
and white tall palms were banked in
corner and an exquisite rose cactus
arranged on the top of the mantel so
the flowers depended over the mirror
with a lovely effect.
The lights were shaded in pink
and bowls of pink roses stood on
pedestals.
Receiving in the reception hall
were Mrs. j, E. Massey, Mrs. Len
Baldwin and Mrs. Henry Meinert.
This trio of graces includes the
three degrees of size and pulchri-
tude but in cordiality and smiling
ability are equals. Every caller was
ushered in enveloped in a welcome
as cheering as the twinkling of the
rosy tapers mingling with the flow
ers in such profusion.
Mrs. j. p. Cheney stood within the
arch between the reception hall and
the parlor and was as pretty as any
girl could be in white embroidered
flounces with a sash of wide rose taft
feta. The hall between the dining
room and living-room was a picture
IN white and green with daisies i'm
wall vases, in floor vases, on tables
and with the stair-railing covered in
green foliage and daisies.
The living-room was decorated in
red lilies growing, with crimson ram
bier roses on the mantel, the cabi-
nets and bordering the round, lace
covered table at which Mrs. John
Boston served coffee. The crimson
tapers in this room added to the rich
effect of the flowers. The dining
room was quite bridal with it's white
and green decorations. All the glass
china closets had green foliage, white
roses and white tapers adjoining them
and so did the side-board and man
tel.
The round table was covered with
a lace bordered luncheon cloth and
in the center stood tall silver vase
filled with Easter lilies. Around the
table were glass naples of white
and green mints.
A delicious white and green lun-
cheon, including chicken salad and
white sherbet was served by Mrs. ].
W. Petty, Miss Mary Towers, Mrs.
j. X. Brumby, Mrs. II. S. Cohen, Mrs.
Floyd Northcutt, Mrs. Fletcher Rev
nolds, and Mrs. J. M. Fowler.
1t was a pleasant afternoon and
those calling to meet this popular
bride in her new home also enioyed
seeing one another.
