MISSES ELDER ENTERTAINED
ON SATURDAY EVENING
“The Calumet,” the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Elder, at
Indian Spring, was the scene of
an enjoyable party on Saturday
evening, at which Misses Effiie
and Beatrice entertained a num
ber of their friends in a delight
ful way.
Spring blossoms were used in
decorating the home, and partic
ularly attractive was the parlor
which presented an artistic ap
pearance, vases of carnations,
narcissus and parma violets.
The table was covered with a
handsome lace piece, in the cen
ter was a large cut glass vase of
white carnations, and at the cor
ners were bowls of violets,
In the hall where nectar was
served by Miss Effie, the decor
ations were green and white,
palms and ferns, filled in the
background and gave a lovely
effect. The sitting room was
bright in pink carnations ferns
and large bowls of yellow daffo
dills.
A flowery romance contest was
entered into with a great deal of
spirit. Miss Bessie White won
the prize, by a “bleeding heart, ”
which was a book.
Then the guests drew from a
silver tray their fortune, which
was written upon tiny paper
hearts tied with white and red
ribbons. The reading aloud of
these created much merriment.
Other games were played, but a
novel feature of of the evening
was the mock marriage of a vis
iting young lady and young man.
A salad and ice course was
served at late hour.
The evening’s pleasure was
characterized by the gracious
hospitality and ease for which
this family are noted for.
Those invited were Misses Car
oline, Ossie Arnold, Louise Smith,
Lillie Cornell, Lucile Elder,
Mary Cleveland, Joe Varner,
Eloise Pound, Bessie White; Mes
srs Harmon, of Augusta, J. D.
Renfroe and Dr. E. B. Elder, of

land and Joe Wall, of Jackson,
Paul Collier, Dr. and Mrs. A. F.
White, of Flovilla.
