The past week and the last one of the holidays was crowded with parties, din- : ners and receptions and the so ciety-loving people were kept busy but those days belong to the past now. The college boys and girls have nearly all returned to their respective colleges after enjoying a few days with loved ones, the majority of the visitors have '‘stolen away” while those among our numbers who have been away on pleasure trips have gotten back and the former quiet of the village seems fully re stored. New energy and deter mination seems to come with the beginning of the new year to help keep those resolutions which we generally find unkept at the end of every year. Afternoon Reception A delightful occasion of the week was the afternoon reception Tuesday given by Mrs. R. J. Car michael in compliment to Mrs. W. E. Watkins. Upon arrival the guests were greeted by Miss Ma ry Newton and Mrs. W. Bryant Thompson and served tea by Mrs. R. P. Newton and Miss Rosa 'Newton in the lovely breakfast room which was attractively dec orated with festoons of Southern smilax and crimson bells. Bunco was played and the score cards were red Christmas bells, score being kept with tiny red bells. In the living room where the games were played the decora tions were red carnations and poinsettas. The round table in the dining room was covered with point lace over red satin while the center vase held red poinset tas. Silver candlesticks with shades of red and red and white mints were placed at equal dis tances on the prettily arranged table. A delicious salad course with coffee was served, dainty red rose baskets holding the sal ad. Asa souvenir the guest of honor was presented with a silver tea bell.
