l have been waiting for length
of time, closely akin to week to
relay to you those most favorable
comments aroused as result Of the
very elaborate party which those
who were guest to DR.. and Mrs. Will
lis Pettis, enjoyed on last Saturday
evening. This host and hostess
showed the best of their congeniality
to Jerry" DESMOND, A'Lelia Walker,
Miss Mayme White, Lloyd James,
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Everett Johnson,
T. Everett Johnson, II, Miss Nina
Hill, DR.. and Mrs. Gregory A. Gal
vim, DR.. and Mrs. Madison Jones.
The honorees of this hospitality
shown by DR.. and Mrs. Pettis, were
the first named four, Gerry" Dis
mond, A'Lelia Walker, Lloyd James
and Mayme White. have been try
ing to ascertain the proper name to
be given the supper which the par
Elephants enjoyed but all l can gather
is that it was one of the SWEETEST
suppers possible. When the guests
repaired homeward they agreed that
the evening had been one OF the
most we'll spent, it had been their
privilege to witness.
Thisoccasion for which DR.. and
Mrs. Pettis, brings to our minds the
fact that Richmond had the unus-
uality last week Of having Jerry"
DESMOND, A'Lelia Walker, Mayme
White and Lloyd James to spend a
period of three days in their midst.
Jerry" alias Lady Nicotine, was
the house guest of Mrs. Mary Blnga
of 1906 Decatur Street, and also
Mrs. Hattie n. F. Walker, 10 East
Leigh Street. The other members
of the party were guests of L.
Everett Johnson, Jr., who inciden-
tally is spending short time with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Everett
Johnson, II East Clay Street. These
! visitors to Richmond were lavishly
entertained, as no doubt you know.
An event which many of us had
awaited since invitations were issued
two weeks ago, appeased US on
Wednesday evening. H. Berkely Jor-
dan of Douglas Court was our host.
We are indebted to Mr.. Jordan for
the most outstanding affair at which
we have had the pleasure of being
in attendance this season. A cordial
hospitality was felt at the door.
Immediately upon entering, the
cedar, pine, red and green lights,
placed you in an attitude appropriate
for the fast arriving Christmas
season. The proverbial mistletoe,
though not needed, hung between the
living room and dining room. Special
Christmas trinkets scattered effec-
lively about, were noticed. Called
especially to our attention were the
poinsetta-ike lights placed on the
buffet, and the extravagantly deco
rated mantel. A few hours of dancing
and then the two course menu. Again
the couples danced to the strains of
Eddie Miller and his dance orchestra,
and music furnished by John H.
Hester. Those present were the
