SOCIETY IN BRILLIANT EVENT
WILL WELCOME NEW YEAR

For those who hunger for refreshing
food for thought figuratirely speak
ing, there's a regular New Years feast
in the words THE Reconstruction Cab
aret.'
Beautiful girls in original costumes,
cabaret features that are unique and
entertaining, and music that will sweep
one away to Bohemia, the magic land
of sunshine, love laughter-thiS,
and much moro is what the recon-
StruCtion cabaret, which will be given
at the Hotel Gayoso Tuesday night will
mean.
With Mrs. Homer X. Jones in charge
Of the affair, assisted by Mrs. Bright
Goodbar, it is small wonder that over
500 reservations have been made for
places for the evening, and several hun
dred rave had to be refused because
there were no more tables for accom-
mediation.
The tables have been arranged in the
large dining room and ballroom of the
Hotel Gayoso, in such a way hat a
large space has been left for the cab
aret features and the dancing.
Dancing will begin at 10 o'clock At
II a beautiful feature which has been
planned as a surprise to the guests,
will welcome the greatest era Of recon-
struction that the world has ever known
at the dawning of 1919,
Many of the most charming society
girls in Memphis will take part in the
cabaret, and with their grace and charm
n the beautiful costumes which they
will wear, they will do much toward
making the affair the most brilliant that
has been given here in many years.
Dainty powder puffs always hold a
charm for women, and the men viii un-
doubtedly find them just as fascinating
at the cabaret, for who could resist two
such lovely powder puffS as Miss Eliza
beth Armstrong and Miss Irene Bond
will represent
Miss Mary Ahbay Leatherman as an
umbrella girl will bring visions of the
blue summer skies, the warm sunshine
and the beautiful flowerlike Colors of
p~arasols of lace and silk, which add the
complete touch to the summer costumes
of Vanity Fair.
The idol of little children, the bearer
Of gifts of love and remembrance-and
the most envied of all the trees in the
forests, the Christmas tree-will be rep
resented by Miss Adele Orgill.
Miss Edna Arlington as the balloon
girl, Miss Virginia Johnson as a cigaret,
Miss Virginia Meacham as the liberty
bell, Miss Clara Dunscomb as a hou-
tcnniere, and Miss FleeCy Mae Phillips
as a stick of peppermint candy, will
also be among the original features Of
the occasion.
A group of members of the Sub
deb" set will be the BaCCanti girls, in

know, but the rapid temperance Of
full dress suits at the dances forces me
to also resolve not to show any prefer
ence between the uniforms and full
dress suits In the future.
Miss Edna Arrington-Here, In the
presence OF my own reflection, | resolve
not to sit out more than n hour at
da~nces-except with good-looking SOL
oilers. Miss Arlington didn't say
whether her reflections was a mental
one, concerning the big dance Of the
evening before, or the very lovely one
which smiled back at her from her mir
ror, but, anyway, II bore witness to her
reso~lution-and certain aviation Off
GERS will be very thankful for hat Eek
