PINEHURsT HAS
PLANTATION OUTING.
One Of the most interesting social
events OF the week at Pinehurst.
N. c., was what was termed
"neighborhood jubilee" rendered by
Mr.. and Mrs. John Tuckerman. at
their new plantation home on the
outskirts Of the village. The ban
quet was preceded by a cross-coun-
try paper-chase in which most of
the plantation owners of the district
took part, the guests and partici-
pants including Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Dudgeon; Capt. A. LOTUS Bryan;
Mr.. and Mrs. Roger A. Derby; Mr..
and Mrs. George A. Meurice; Miss
Ellen Meurice'; Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Jamin F. Butler: Capt. and Mrs. w.
w. Cowgirl; Gen. Angus Mason, Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Lowring: Jack
Latting, Mr.. and Mrs. James Boyd
and Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph w. Page.
The annual children's party and
Christmas tree festivities at Pine
hurst were held in the ballroom Of
the Carolina last week. when the
great ballroom was the scene of
the regular Christmas ball for the
grown-up folks. There is some
doubt as to whether the usual New
Years eve ball will be held this
year as the Pinehurst Jockney Club
Is arranging a subscription dinner
dance to be held at the Highland
Pines Inn at Southern Pines on that
evening and a large part OF the
population of Pinehurst is expected
to ride over there on horse back to
attend the affair.
