which Mrs. L. Lamar entertained the

one of genuine enjoyment.
The central decoration of the well
appointed table was a wicker basket
filled with pink carnations and ferns.
Silver candelebra holding white ia
pers were placed on either side, and
minis in small cut glass dishes. Good
cheer reigned supreme as the guests

Raines; Children of the Confederacy,
Mrs. E. I. Jordan; Women of the
Confederacy, Miss Hornady; the Con-

the Dawson women, and gave CRATE
full acknowledgement of the encour-
agement she had received during her
short stay.
A delightful social hour gave the

cisus and hyacinths.
