The Butterfly’s
Trail
By Albert Mary Thweatt
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
'Twist optimist and the pessimist the difference is droll.
The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist the hole.''
The Birthday Party given at the Coconut Grove by the
November Stork Club was quite an unusual and beautiful af¬
fair. On entering the ballroom one’s attention was immedi¬
ately attracted to a table beautifully decorated with an exqui¬
site lace cover in the center of which was a huge tray of as¬
sorted fruits. Beautiful arrangements of yellow carnations
and ferns graced each end of the table, along with brass can¬
delabra with red tapers. T n the center of a table placed in
the middle of the ballroom was a large stork made by one of
the celebrants, Mrs. Edna Williams. Under the stork was a
beautiful doll baby around which were cards containing the
names of all of the celebrants Dancing was ehoyed the first
. .
part of the evening after which refreshments consisting of
turkey with all the trimmings, cranberry sauce, olives, pickles,
rolls and assorted beverages . . Every one had a grand time.
When it was time to serve the two tiered birthday cake, the
tapers were lighted . . Congratulations and many happy re¬
turns to them all.

The passing of Mr- Lester Johnson several days ago and

now this week Mr. H. C. Thomas (who up to
death Saturday night was the able and efficient manager of
the local branch of the Atlanta Life Insurance Co-) has cast
quite a gloom over many S'avannahians. . Mr. Thomas was a
native of Chattanooga, Tenn , and a graduate of Talladega.
At the time of this writing those of his family arriving are
Miss Doris McGhee of Chattanooga, (a niece), Mrs. H. D.
Robinson of Atlanta (sister of his wife, Mrs- Jessica Thomas),
Mr. Lester Thomas of Anniston. Ala. (brother), and Mr. Cyrus'
Campfield of Atlanta • . Heartfelt sympathv to both families.
Regret to learn that Mrs. Mamie Cox and Mrs. Nellie Cop-
page are on the sick list. . Here’s hoping for them a speedy
recovery. Caution in city for
Dr. Nicholson and Dr. Tollie are the
the Diocese Survey, and also for the laying of the Corner
Stone of St. Matthews’ Church on Thanksgiving morning.
Ella Marie Law is playing the Cello in the school orches¬
tra at Palmer- Congratulations.
Miss Metella Maree, rrincipal of Paulsen school and Re¬
gional Director of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority set up a new
chapter (Gamma Tau Zeta) in Pensacola this past week end.
Five young ladies were made charter members. They includ¬
ed Misses Theda Williams, Bernice Martin, Gertrude Johnson,
Shirley Harris and Mesdames Maude R. Jackson and Callie
Harris . • The nine pledgees were Mesdames Julia McCurdy,
Josephine Carroll, Helen Robinson. Ernestin Powell, Sadie Coas-
ton, Doretha Warren, Mercedes Hit-son, Joan Bowman and
Olive Williams. . Several elaborate affairs were given in honor
of Miss Maree who reports a most enjoyable time.
Mrs- Josephine Hill was, the proud recipient several days
ago of a beautifufl pair of hand made pillow cases. They
were the handiwork of an elderly gentlemen who lives in
Brooklyn. N. Y. She appreciates them very highly as she is
a fanatic about beautiful hand made articles. She does
beautiful work herself Mrs. Hill has made some beautifu’,
silk spreads.
I erroneously stated last week that Mrs. Stella Reeves was
attending the University of Pennsylvania. She is working to¬
wards a degree at the University of Pittsburg.
The formal dance given by the Graduate Nurses Associa¬
tion was a lively and enjoyable affair. Several out-of-town
folks attended. The ballroom was very attractively decorat¬
ed with crepe paper and balloons. Directly in front of the
bandstand was an effigy of a nurse which added much to the
effectiveness of the affair. Every one all bedecked in beauti¬
ful evening gowns, Tuxedos or Tails, expressed themselves as
having enjoyed a pleasant evening.
The “Hour of Sacred Music” at the First Congregational
Church last Sunday proved to be just what its name implies!
Choirs of various denominations participated. It is hoped that
this will be an annual affair as the choirs were at their best
and this get-together should stimulate an interest in better
music in (he churches. These volunteer groups need en¬
couragement if they are expected to continue serving. Be¬
cause of the r.ew organ, these choirs and the audience gavtw
congratulatory offerings to the church which showed a fine
spirit of cooperation and appreciation for this beautiful instru¬
ment.
Teddy Neal is on a fifteen day furlough before leaving
for California and then to Tokyo. He is now spending a while
with his mother, Mrs- Virginia Davvison (elder daughter of
Mrs. Amanda Carter) in Washington, D. C. Imagine Teddy
weighing 180 lbs, but still tall and handsome.
