All Collected is Checked Up.
Brilliant hardly describes the gath
ering at the Tarpon Inn last evening.
There were so many handsomely
gowned women and gallant gentlemen,
and the details of the evenings enter
tainment were SO perfectly arranged
that every one felt the warmth of the
welcome with which they were greet
ed, and melted into the throng uncon-
scious of the fact that the great ma
jority of those gathered together had
never met before.
The occasion was the bridge social
given by Mrs. Frank w. Swift for
the benefit of the local chapter Red
Cross, assisted by Mrs. Alice Wood
rough Chapman and Mrs. Read Kel-
ley.
After Mr.. Swift had announced the
winners Of the prizes, Mr.. j. C. Beck
man proposed a vote Of thanks to Mrs.
Swift, Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. Kelley,
which was greeted with a great out
burst of applause. Everyone having
been so royalty entertained and hav-
ing so thoroughly enjoyed the ,entire
evening, applause was spontaneous.
Seventy dollars was turned in last
evening as result of the energy of
these ladies, and the amount will
probably reach eighty when all is
checked up
