Winthrop Daughters Entertain.

The annual June reception given
by the Williamsburg Winthrop Daugh-
tiers for the returned college students
and the out-of- town alumnae was
held Friday afternoon, June 23rd, at
the home of Miss Martha Jenkinson.
The spacious parlors of the Jenkin-
son home were beautified for the
occasion with many vases of cut
flowers, dahlias, zinnias, nasturtiums,
cannas, and sun-fowers-all carrying
out the Winthrop colors of garnet
and gold. The guests were welcomed
at the door by Miss Jenkinson and
Mrs. P. G. Gourdin, president Of the
local chapter of Winthrop Daughters;
and were invited to sign their names
in the registry presided over by
Mrs. H. C. Crawford. A most en-
joyable musical program, which had
been prepared under the direction of
Mrs. H. E. Montgomery, was then
rendered as follows: Quartette,
"Sweet Genevieve" by Mesdames L.
w. Gilland, M. F. Montgomery, w.
w. Holiday, and H. E. Montgomery;
Solo, "Smilin' Through" by Miss
George McGill; Quartette, "Sweet and
Low" by Mesdames Gilland, Mont
gomery, Holiday and Montgomery.
Mrs. Erban Kennedy. served as ac-
companist.
An unusual guessing contest then
afforded merriment and mental effort
to the assembled guests-the answers
being the names of some Of the lead
ing colleges for women in the United
States.
"Once upon a time there was a
certain man living in (Columbia) S.
c., named John (Smith) (Mass.) He
he'd two daughters, one named (Agnes
Scott) (Ga.,) the other (Lucy Cobb)
(Ga) These girls liked to go out
into the meadows, where among the
(Sweet Briar) (Va.) they could (Con-
verse) Is. CO. with each other. Their
father wanted to send them to the
best college in the country so he went
(Due West) S. c., to inspect the
schools beyond the Mississippi. Not
liking these, he went North to Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, where he visited (Vas-
sar). From there he travelled through
Massachusetts visiting (Wellesley)
and (Radciffe). None Of these great
institutions pleased him, so he came
back to his native state and decid-
ing that (Winthrop) was the best
place after all, sent his two daugh-
ters there. After they had gradu-
ated, young man by the name Of
(Coker) S. c., fell in love with the
oldest daughter and said, "I'm go
ing to Iander)" S. c. He did.
They were married and went to house
keeping in a Uimestone) house.
The other daughter became teach
er at (Bryn Maur) Pa.
When the papers were corrected
it was found that four ladies had
tied for the prize, Mesdames j. P.
Inabinet, L. c. Dove, L. R. Mcintosh,
and L. w. Gilland. The old-fashion-
ed method of drawing straws was
resorted to, in order to decide upon
the winner. Mrs. L. R. Mcintosh was
the lucky one and was presented with
a framed photograph of DR.. David
Bancroft Johnson, the revered and be-
loved president of Winthrop College.
Ice cream, lady-fngers and small
cakes were served by the hostess,
assisted by Mrs. w. E. Jenkinson and
Mrs. Luther Mcintosh. While re-
freshments were being served the
quartette sang, "The Old Oaken Buck
ct" and Mrs. Kennedy played sew
eral selections on the piano. Mrs.
Gourdin then made several announce
ments, and urged the Winthrop
Daughters to register at once at the
auditors office so they might be eligi-
BILE to vote in the coming elections.
As fitting close to a pleasant
meeting all present arose and, led by
Mrs. Kennedy at the piano, united in
singing the Winthrop College song.
