Stewards Entertained d

StcWAEus
 Mir and Mrs. R. s. Moon enter tained the members of the board of stewards of the Jonesboro Methodist church and their wives last night at their home In Jonesboro. The new church building to be erected was the chief subject of discussion of the evening and it was announced that the lots had been purchased and that the building would be started soon.
 During the evening a musical pro- gram was rendered by Miss Lillie Mae Christlieb and readings by Miss Clara Mae Loveless and Miss Edith High, and by Miss Annie Barita Moon.
 Mrs. Moons home was attractive ly decorated with quantities of love- ly garden flowers in bright and colorful variety and at the close of the evening delightful refreshments, molded cream and cakes and fruits were served.
 The members of the board and their wives present were: Mir. and Mrs. B. E. Ingram. Mir. and Mrs. H. A. Glosson, MT. and Mrs. J.. w. Mo- Corkle, MT. and Mrs. Ed McCorckle. MT. and Mrs. J. E.

 Mrs. Mayes Hostess
 Mrs. E. B. Mayes entertained at a pretty bridge luncheon Tuesday at her home on Clarendon avenue. her guests being the members of the Southside Bridge club and other friends. Yellow and white were the attractive colors used for the party, a charming effect being produced by a profusion of yellow and white daises in baskets and bowls used throughout the living and dining rooms where the tables for the games were arranged.
 A delicious luncheon was served and beautiful favors were presented each guest, dainty handmade hand kerchiefs, which were drawn from a Japanese parasol from which were suspended yellow ribbons with the favors.
 Mrs. Mayes included in her de- lightful hospitality: Mrs. Mac Clay, Mrs. Thomas Johnston. Mrs. c. w. McDonald. Mrs. E. |. Read, Mrs. Sam Erlick. Mrs. Gardner F. Goodwin. Mrs. T. C. Donald, Mrs Eugene Hun nycutt, Mrs. G. B. Hollingsworth. Mrs. Schuyler Harris, Mrs. c. A. Har- ris, Mrs. F. W. McNeil, Mrs. Guy wilson, Mrs. J. S. Winters, Mrs. Rob ert Smith. Mrs. Lacey Edmundson.
