MRS. LOPEZ ENTERTAINs

Mrs. F. H. Lopez entertained in- formally Friday evening at the resi- dence of Mrs George G. Houston in honor of Miss Dora Parker, who has severed her connection with the Elizabeth Duncan Memorial hospital, the guests being the doctors with whom she has been so long associ- ated, and many other personal friedns. She was the recipient of very handsome travelling bag, which Dr. J. s. Winters. in his inimitable manner presented from the physi- clans of Bessemer.
 Miss Parker and Miss Lovie Hogg, who was also present. have accepted a very flattering offer from the United Fruit company of Central America to take charge of large new hospital as superintendent and surgical supervisor.
 Miss Parker was the first graduate from the Elizabeth Duncan Memo rial hospital and has for eight years had charge of the operating rooms. Her efficiency. conscientiousness and loyalty to the institution have won for her many friends who regret to see her leave Bessemer. The hospital is losing another valuable asset in Miss Hogg, who for two years has been connected with that institution as. q friend of every patient and doctor for whom she has worked her mag netic personality and capability in- spring the perfect confidence she deserved. Bessemer can i'll afford to lose two such nurses, but the best wishes go with them for success in the new field.
