A Delightful Valentine Party.

No more delightful feature has
marked the social history of the CAM
pus than the Valentine Party given
on Wednesday evening, Feb. II, by
Mrs. W. H. Smith, an event uniquely
attractive both for the exquisite set
ting and ordering of the program
and for the interesting announcement
which came as climax to the even
ing's entertainment. On such hap
py occasion it seemed peculiarly op-
perfume to publish as the elimination
of lovely campus romance the ap-
preaching wedding of Miss Dora
Evelyn Connor of Macon, and Prof.
j. L. King of the Department of
English.
Into the spacious reception rooms
of the Presidents home, decorated
with unusual effectiveness, hearts
very appropriately being the domi-
nant motive, Mrs. Smith, assisted by
her daughter, Mrs. W. c. Herbert, of
Tchula, graciously ushered the
guests. The Valentine party itself,
pleasing as it was, proved, however,
only curtain-raiser for the feature
of real significance.
After an hour or so of merriment
had sped quickly by, little Miss Kath-
crime Herbert, granddaughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Smith, attired in a clever
Cupid costume, invited the visitors in
quantity charming words, to enter
Cupid's land. The dining room, in
to which the dainty little wizard led
the surprised assemblage, was indeed
replica of the dreamland of the
tiny blind god. Soft lights, artistic
hearts, well poised arrows which
pierce the affections Of men-all
were arrayed in bewildering COM
