CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
AT HIS COUNTRY HOME.

w. r. Speer, who has many
friends and relatives in and near
Americas, celebrated his seventy
eighth birthday Sunday at his home
seven miles from Macon. The oc-
casion was in the nature of a sur
prise to him, as his children, grand
children and greatgrandchildren gath
cred at his home to do him honor.
The dining room was prettily ap-
pointed with autumn flowers, and
four tables were placed for the
twenty-five guests who gathered
around ten hospitable board. In the
center of the table reserved for the
honoree, large white birthday cake
was placed, and the dates of 1912.
1920 were written with decorative
icing.
An old-fashioned family dinner was
served in true picnic style, with all
the good things to eat which the coun-
try can produce, supplemented with
a few knacks from the city. -Four
generations were seated at the Ia
bes, Mr.. Speer being the oldest, with
little June Harrington the youngest.
Mr.. Speer is in splendid health at
the present time, is able to attend to
the duties exigent upon the farm
and is as young and happy as any
who gather about him to hear the
relation of the Civil War stories
which he tells in very graphic man
ner. He was in A. P. Hills division,
and Thomas brigade.
Going from Americas were Mrs
Alan Perry, Mrs. R. L. Edwards and
Miss Virginia Perry. A number of
relatives from near Americas ac-
companied Mrs. Perry to Macon.

Darned Net BIouSes

Old-fashioned "darned net" and the
modern f1let are about one and the
same thing. A woman may buy a
piece of net and darn any pattern
comparatively inexpensive piece of
material into something that is rare
and beautiful and that If purchased
as filet net or filet lace would be de-
cidedly costly. Further, she may
work out her own individual ideas in
the embroidery so that the garment
made from the finished piece of net
will be quite distinctive and out of
the ordinary.
The lace blouse continues undated
for the coming fall and winter sea-
son.
These blouses are made over chif-
fon, plain net or very sheer silk lin
ing, which may be in self or con-
trasting color.
Blouses coming just below the
hips are the seasons favorites. Some
long garments, but they have never
been particularly popular with the
general public, and there is no rea-
son to believe that the public will
change it's mind on that score.
The hip length blouse, whatever
the material used for it. serves the
purpose it was intended to serve-it
suggestion always emphasized by the
garment that reaches only to the
normal waist line. Whether it is
meant to join forces with silk or
lace separate skirt and complete an
afternoon frock, or to serve as a suit
blouse, the hip length model is the
best all-round selection.
Dyed laces, it is said, will have
big run of favor for the coming
