CARD OF THANKS

The Ladies Aid society of the Pres
byterian church wish to tender their
sincere thanks and appreciation for
the kindness and support of all who
aided in making the "Dorcas apron
social such success in every detail.
The crowd was large, jolly and SEEM
ed to appreciate the entertainment
provided by the artists, who also
seemed to be in the spirit to please.
The Misses Moore, Peterson and
Coachman caught the assembly in the
parts rendered; also Messrs. C. c..
Barnum and F. E. Chidester did their
parts so well that comment is unnec-
essary;. while Mrs. Donohue played the
accomplishments with her usual style.
The refreshments were par excel
lence, as they only could be, coming
from such a source. So we tender our
thanks to each and all for the cooper
alton shown forth. Also to Mr.. and
Mrs. O'Cramer for opening their de-
lightful home so that we could have
the affair of the season.

Mrs. E. N. Knapp Entertained Yes
terdayP. M. 1t Was An OccasionOf.
Enjoyment To Those Present
More Than Fifty OF This Good Ladies Frieds Were Assemb
ed At The Knapp Home On Spring Boulevard
Is States and Canada Were Represented

A most beautiful and enjoyable re-
ception was given yesterday afternoon
by Mrs. E. N. Knapp at her home on
Spring boulevard, to fifty of her
friends. There were representatives
from eighteen states. The affair was
entirely informal and seldom is it the
fortune of the citizens and visitors of
our city to be participants in an occa-
sion so thoroughly enjoyable The uni
versal testimony is that the time pass
ed all too soon.
Mrs. Knapp is an entertainer of the
old school which makes folks feel at
home; and she has lost none of her
magic in this direction. She was as
sisted by her two daughters, Miss
Ruth Davis and Mrs. Maude Whittock,
who made the refreshments and served
them in the way that denotes grace
and ability.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1919-03-14

The home was beautifully decorated
tor the occasion, nasturtiums being
much in evidence.
Many of the ladies present, 10th to
miss a moment in the work of doing
something for the cause of humanity,
were busily engaged in knitting for
the Belgian relief work. Others were
visiting in the good old-fashioned way
while the spirit of love and good will
was in full control of the day. 1t was
a time to be remembered by the la
dies present.
Those who have been the recipients
of the Knapp hospitality need no men
ton of ours to impress them with the
satisfaction of the function. 1t is
proverbial and has been the pace for
all who would learn the art of bring
ing perfect ease and enjoyment into
household entertainment.

RED CROSS CHAPTERS PLAN

The various Red Cross chapters in
the Southern division are planning
"Wolcome home" celebrations for re-
turning soldiers whenever a town or a
community can count sufficient num-
Der of heroes to warrant this demon
stration. One Of the most extensive
and effective ceremonies was that held
recently at Waycross, Ga, when the
citizens Of the town and of Ware coun-
" gathered together and held the
most spectacular parade that the To-
ca'ity has ever had; . public reception

was one Of historic interest. A splon-

COST OF CONSTRUCTION

The cost of construction is not high
today. It is low compared with food,
clothing, and commodities in general.
1t is high only in comparison with pre-
war levels. Commodity prices will
undoubtedly recede because food and
clothing and many other things were
affected by special war conditions, for
example, scarcity Of transportation
which prevented shipments from dis
tant countries to the allies. But they
cannot fall to the pre-war level.
But, although some establishments
in the wages of individual trades and
in the prices Of individual classes of
building materials may take place, the

SUMNER BASEBALL

The summer time is the baseball
season in the South as we'll as in the
North. This is as it should be for
several reason sapparent to all. The
fans are getting ready to root and the
twlrlers are getting ready to fan. If
we are not very much mistaken there
viii lbe some tanning done, too, when
Bigelow and Cassidy get their fingers
on the sphere. These twirlers are feel
ing confident and Cause is too hard
for any they can put against his nit.
Tarpon Springs will be in the fight
for the West Coast championship with
Tampa annexed. The local team, on
the whole, looks better than the team
that tied Tampa for the championship
honors two years ago. The infield is
made up of material that is Al. With
Cause behind the pan and Bigelow and
Cassidy doing the twirling, the out
field can play in close, for there will
be little heavy hitting.
Bige}oW and Cassidy will take turns
in the outheld, so there need be no
apprehens, on as to results there. Be
SIDES there are others who are good
Judges and will hold on to the ball if
it comes their way. Base running is a
long suit for the Tarpons. We are
counting confidently on their tactics
and we will not be disappointed. The
batting lineup is strong and will be
properly drawn. This is a prominent
feature, together with Bigelow's bunt-
ing proelivities will probably be made
manifest. He will be just where he
ought TO be in the lire. The follow
