are numbered among the legislature /
visitors, is Mrs. John B. Jones, of |
Pensacola, who may be found at the |
lovely Argyle place on Calhoun |
street.
This, of course, is not Mrs. Jones' |
first visit to Tallahassee, as she has !
been in the city with Senator Jone |
during previous sessions, and has
been besieged by old-time friends who
have carried her off to porch parties. !
galore these fine spring mornings,
where informal chatting and sewing
are the time-honored customs at these
informal gatherings. Mrs. Jones is a
woman of delightful presence, makes
friends readily, and will figure in
many of the post-Lenten affaire of
the capital city.
Arriving in the city from Jackson
vile on Monday will be Miss Domaris
Herndon, we'll known in Tallahassee,
and throughout the state, as the very
efficient superintendent of the health
train operated by the Florida State
Board of Health, under the direction
/ of DIR. ]. Y. Porter. Miss Herndon
will remain for the close of the leg
/ islature, and will be a guest of friends
! in the city.
! Mrs. Sidney ]. Cats has chosen
Tuesdays and Saturdays for her aft
! ernoons at home, the same days hav-
! ing prevailed when the Trammells
were at the mansion. During the
| legislative session the reception
rooms are crowded with out-of-towa
! people, who look forward to the
CHEEKY welcome and the warm hospi-
tally which they are sure to re-
ceive at the hands of Mrs. Cats. The
hours for receiving are, for the pres
ent, from $3.50 until $50 p. m.
A fact not generally known con-
. corning the decorations used at the
| banquet given to the legislators and
their wives at the Leon hotel by Gov
ernor acts recently, was that the
flags and banners used were of par
tieularly sentimental interest, dis
! played as they were on the very night
/ that congress was preparing the way
for the break with Germany.
i The main decoration, of course, was
] the great state flag of Florida, with
its numerous memories of days that
1 are gone; while the patriotic ban
ners, used as border about the
walls was the same bunting that had
been employed on another gala oc-
!. casion at the Leon, when Mckinley
visited the city in the first burst of
his great popularity, and was greet
, ed with the same patriotic banners
bearing the picture of the Maine,
| with the popular inscription Rem en-
Der the Maine" The new little but
ton-hoe flags of the nrcsent, with
many new silken flags nesting
! among roses fresh gathered from the
: Tallahassee. gardens of Spring
: 1917" completed this "story of the
flags" with the flight of time inn
piled, and which was as patriotic as
? it was beautiful.
Mrs Alice Shear is in Tallahassee
again, in the interests of prohibition
and il is evident that this quiet. de-
termined little woman has lot little
: amount of influence with those who
!. have been looking after the cause al
; the capitol. She will return to hel
=. home in Pensacola on Tuesday.
