MRS. CARR COMPLIMENTED.
Augusta friends of Mrs. Chas. D.
Carr will be interested in the fol
lowing from The Madisonian:
Among the charming holiday func
tions was the entertainment given on
Friday afternoon by Miss Sara Muatin
in honor of her sister. Mrs. Chas. D.
Carr, of Augusta. It would be difficult
to find a circle of more congenial
people than were gathered in the
comfortable parlors of Miss Mustin’s
home on this occasion. Palms and
blooming plants In the parlors and
halls lent additional beauty to the
home. In the dining room the Christ
mas colors, crimson and green, were
In evidence In the decorations. In the
center of the long table was a minia
ture Christmas tree bflght with tiny
tapers, tinsel, drums, horns and alao
a gift for each guest. With the last
course toasts were called for and right
bravely did the ladles rise to the
occasion. There were several toasts
original and in compliment of the
guest of honor many were with quota
tion marks, but all good and to the
point. A handsome Titian haired
blonde arose and with emphasis drank
to the health of "the early bird that
catches the worm." Before the
laughter had well subsided a viva
cious brunette at the other end of the
table was toasting "love and unity,
dark corners and opportunity," which
was followed by more and even more
laughter.
That all preserp were for woman’s
lights was shown by the applause
which followed. “Here’s to man. God's
first thought: here’s to woman. God’s
•ecc-aJ thought. As second thoughts
are always best, here's to woman.”
The entertainment is one of the most
delightful of the many connected with
the Yuletlde season of 1905.
Miss Mustln's guests were: Mrs.
Charles D. Carr, .Mrs. W. E. Adams,
Miss Agnes Godfrey, Mrs. Robert
Douglass. Mrs. Henry Fitzpatrick
Mrs. Emerson George, Miss Daisy But
ler. Miss Caro Price, Miss Maida Wil
liams. Mrs. Percy Middlebrooks. Miss
Emma High, Miss Katie Barnett, Mrs.
Lee Trammell, Mrs. Woodfin Richter,
of Mllledgeville. Miss Dorothy Muslin.
Mrs. Fanny Brown and Mrs. Mary
Stokes.
IN HONOR OF MISS WILKINS.
The Madisonian, of Madison, Ga,
says:
The whist party given by Miss Car
ry Pou and Miss Edna Pou on Tues
day evening in honor of their guests,
Miss Wilkins, of Augusta, and Miss
Bonner Simms, of Covington, was
most delightful. The holiday spirit
was in the very atmosphere and the
hours seemed all too short to the
guests. Miss Octavia Pou and Miss
Mamie Hunter served dc-licious punch
during the game. Miss Cnro Price
and Mrs. W. E. Adams cut for the
lady’s prize. Mrs. Adams cut for the
highest and was presented with a
lovely box of candy. Dr. Adams won
t lie gentlemen’s prize. After the
game a delicious salad course and hot
chocolate were served. Those pres
ent were Miss Wilkins. Miss Simms,
Miss Caro Price. Miss May Thomas
on. Miss Antointeet Brough-on. Miss
Amelia George. Miss Ixiuise Smith,
Miss Ida Stovall, Miss Mary Trotter,
