One of the largest and most
enjoyable of the opening affairs
of the season was the afternoon
bridge at the home of Mrs. J. L.
Hawley on Friday, the sixteenth,
with Mrs. G. Blackburn Williams,
of Nevada, as honoree.
The interior was deliberately
decorated, the principal motif
being great sprays and clusters
Of crimson rambler roses, which
was repeated in all the rooms,
in baskets, large silver bowls.
vases, and tall bushes entwining
mantel columns, doors and win
dows.
Both bridge and forty.two
were played, and after a number
of progressions scores were
called, showing Miss Kathryn
Mcdonald winner of the first
prize, a Sheffield silver sandwich
tray. The consolation, cut
glass and silver marmalade jar,
fell to Mrs. Jake Hinson. A bas-
ket of be-flowerd and be-ribboned
boxes was passed; the highest
score at each of the ten tables
being invited to take her chance,
These disclosed sets of gold and
silver lingerie clasps, hat pins,
beauty pins and sewing basket
fittings. A two-course service
followed, consisting of creamed
chicken in pastry cases, fried
marble potatoes, creamed Eng
lish peas, asparagus tips with
mayonaise, picked artichokes
hot buttered rolls and coffee
and marshmallow cherry mouse
with fruit cake. Those playing

total that is considerable, and one for
