 MRS HENDERSON IN MONTGOMERY
7 RosALYE HAMPSTEAD HIGGINS

By ROsALYE HAMPSTEAD HIGGINS Montgomery, January n-(Special.) During the four years which Mrs. Charles Henderson has served so gracously as The First Lady of the State,'' she has been the recipient of many social cour- tesies, for her winning personality, clever wit and charm have made her a great favorite but never has a more beautiful compliment been extended her than the luncheon at which 80 Montgomery mat. rons entertained Thursday.
 The affair was given at 1 o'clock at the Exchange hotel and was truly a memor. able occasion. The table which. was placed in the banquet hall on the second floor was in the shape of the letter "H and was exquisite in it's decorations. Tal silver vases held gorgeous pink roses and pink begoniaS were used in profu sion. while pink tapers burning in silver candelabra shed an exquisite glow over the pretty scene. Covers were laid for 6 guests. and the places were marked by dainty cards, hand-painted in pink roses and each one bearing the letter "H.'' 4 delicious six-course luncheon was served Mrs. Thomas M. Owen presided in a most delightful manner as toast mistress and tue following toasts were responded to, '"rhe First Lady of the State" Mrs Belle Allen Ross; Mrs. Henderson, the Club Woman Mrs Brevard Jones Miss Laura, Our Friend" Mrs. Henry Clayton; Mrs. Henderson, Church Woman" Mrs. Richard Wilkinson.
 Mrs ". A. Saffold on behalf of the hos tess of the affair presented Mrs. Tender son with beautiful bouquet of the roses named in her honor In presenting the flowers, Mrs. Saffold gave the following exquisite poem ofsher own composition: MRS. HENDERSON RosEs-DREAM
 ROSES.
 Sometimes when the shadows are
 lengthening.
 Somewhere in the dusk, in the dew, Should a wanton breeze steal the sweet
 fragrance
 Of these roses and bring it to you, Would mem'ry, that keeper of treasures Slip forth from the star-lighted
 gleams,
 And take your dear hand as she led you Adown the dim pathway O dreams? Dreams of a springtime empurpled
 With hill slopes of violet stains, Dreams of a summer day woven
 With bird notes and sweet lowland
 rains,
 Or of autumn who sensed her sad passing By the moon whitened valley below Dreams of chill winter who gathers
 Her raiments of soft clinging snow. Dreams or a place where your heart
 mates
 Shall cherish sweet memories of you, We tell you goodby and God bless you, Through these roses of dawn time hue.''
 MILDRED REYNOLDS SAFFOLD. Mrs Henderson responded to Mrs Saffold"s toast, as well as to the others in most happy vein, expressing her ap- preeiation of the beautiful compliment extended her.

sweetest song writers, whom Montgom- cry is proud to claim as her own, gave the following lovely original toast to Mrs. Henderson:
 Were I to search for treasures rare,
 To grace the shrine at which I pray,
 No jewel could with them compare
 As does Mrs Henderson today. Her hearts a ruby, overbright
 Roses-we crown her queen of flowers;
 We hail her as we do the light, And love, and call her always ours
 Mrs. Mckinney also offered this toast to Mrs. Ella Henderson Brock, sister-in- law of the honor guest:
 T like the things that Friendships make That do not vanish, do not break, I like a good and old-time stock, And so I drink to Mrs. Brock
 The following clever toast was offered by Mrs. Mckinney to Mrs Henry D. Clayton:
 "Ohi Now I drink to old Kaintucl1,
 Where folks get drunk and use the fist, Mrs. Clayton, friends, is of that pluck
 And she knows how the cork to twist
 A number of other impromptu toasts were offered.
 The twenty-fi first birthday anniver- sary of the Peter Forney chapter, D. A. R.. held at the home of Mrs. w. J Han- nah, was a very delightful affair and was attended by a number of members.

CONFERENCE PROBLEMS.
METEOR
A Wonderful Phonopraph.

The big things at the peace confer
ence may be the league of nations and
the freedom of the seas, but conflict
ing racial aspirations and national am
billions will many . days de-
l~iberations. Before the JugoiSlavs were
accorded a separate place In the peace
discussions of the allied powers, Italy
had developed some very decided am
billions concerning the Adrlatic httoral:
Italy feels she must have control OF
the AdriatiC, both as a matter or ma
tional defense and commercial activity,
and that the Adriatic, therefore, should
partake of the nature of a closed sea.
This invites a clash Of Ideas with the
rewly conceived J~ugo-Slav republic, and
in this connection it Is significant that
Premier Orlando says he is not yet
ready to demobilize Italy's armies. Any
changes in the Eastern Mediterranean
in regard to territory or spheres Of
influence will be watched as closely
by Italy. Balkan bound areas have
never yet been satisfactorily settled.
The creation OF a new Polish state out
OF Russian, Austrian and German ele-
ments Is a problem in itself, while the
plight of ~disorganized Russia will tax
to the utmost the patience and ingenu-
ity Of the allied peacemakers. The
peace conference promises to be a long
one, and should the president wish to
see all questions of territory settled,
his stay would be indefinitely prolonged.

SPORT WRAPS ~
Bright ColQred Wool

20 HERE is time and a place for
~ everything. Not the smartest
sweater in the world is quite so
~smart, just now, as one of those
big, fuzzy angora scarfs that you throw
over your shoulders; belt tidily at the
waist and then pull up bit to give
wrap-like effect over the arms. The
picture shows just how to do it. Won
derful, is it not, how a perfectly
straight, long scarf can be made by a
simple adjustment under a belt to look
so like a graceful wrap? All the young
women at the country clubs these au-
tumn days are wearing angora scarfs
of this type and those who do not
possess such scarfs are pretending they
like sweaters ever so much better
but look a little bit envious all the
same.
The pictured scarf Is In a soft mousy
tan shade. one of those indescribable
new tan tones that are so rich and
beautiful, and the stripe through the
center of the wrap is brilliant burnt
orange. Tie scarf has one of these
broad orange stripes on each end, far
enough up to bring the stripes about
at the belt when the scarf is arranged
on the figure. A scarf of the sort.
color combination costs about seven
TO eight dollars-which is really not
an exorbitant price, as prices run now.

with stripes in deep blue; brown
scarfs with copper colored stripes;
blue scarfs with gray stripes, and so
on. Slightly more expensive are the
mixed color effects. soft blue and green
in combination for instance. with one
side of the scarf blue and the other
green so that the part turned over to
form the collar and revers shows a
contrasting shade. One may wear a
leather belt with ones scarf, or q
knotted sash matching the scarf. OF
course. scarfs with sashes to match
are higher in price.
A scarf and cap combination Is pic
tured also. Several inches of the wide
scarf have been turned back, in this
instance, to make a shawl collar and
revers. but still the big scarf droops
well over the shoulder and arm After
one gets tired of the just-now very
modish scarf it will do very nicely for
a coverlet to fold at the end of the
bedroom couch. 1t may even be used
for robe in the automobile Or-as
woman thrifty suggests-"it will
make the most wonderful coverlet for
Fido's bed-basket" But Fido will
have to wait some time for his cozy
coverlet because there is every pros
pect that these graceful scarfs will
remain in vogue as sport wraps

tan tassels on the belt echo the lighter
note of the collar. So does the angora

Leather Sport Coats Have Good Lines

imitation leather-and an excellent
imitation it Is for the coats are GER
