Zion, Ga., on the evening of Dec. 30th. The parlor was beautifully decorated in holly wreaths and red bells; the sitting- room in sprays of holly and the din ing-room in galyx leaves, mistletoe was to be found in great profusion every where. The first part of the evening was spent in Progressive Conversation. Partners for this were selected in a most unique way. A curtain was suspended at one of the doors and an opening was made just large enough for the eyes. The girls were placed in one room and the boys in the opposite, then as a pair of eyes appeared at the opening in the cur tain the boys were allowed one guess each until the girl to whom they be longed was called, The boy guess ing the right girl received her for a partner for the first conversation. After each boy had obtained a part ner they were invited to the parlor and given seats in a circle: At the tap of a bell a conversation would begin and last for three minutes, at a second tap of the bell that conver sation would close, the boys move one partner to the right during the next conversation and so on through the series. The topics discussed were love, music, books, Christmas and fortune-telling. Partners for Progressive Peanuts were next chosen by the girls who guessed the boys by their feet which they could see beneath a curtain. Tables were then arranged in order and beautiful little favors decorated in Poinsettas were pinned on each guest. At table No. 1 was found a pile of peanuts in the shell and a pair of candy tongs, with these tongs they were to remove the peanuts one at a time without moving any of the others. The couple getting the greatest number in the allotted time received a “punch” in their favor and was progressed to the next table. Different tasks were found at each table, such as shell ing the peanuts, separating hulls and kernels with a pair of tongs, stringing the kernels on a thread, etc. This afforded a vast amount of amusement for more than an hour. The curtain was a third time brought into use for the selection of partners for refreshments. The boys were made to pass between the cur tain and a light and the girls guess them. The refreshments were served progressively also. Paper napkins with holly, red berries and Xmas bells were first passed with orange 1 in half-shell, the second course co: - sisted of the delicious Waldorf salad served in patties, peanut sandwiches, cheese straws and pickles. The last course consisted of cake and the most delightful fruit punch imagin able. Those present were, Misses Erie and Huron Ashmore, Ophie and Daphne Morris, Ora and Belle En- trekin, Mayme Martin, Mrs. Pearl Holmes and Prof, and Mrs. J. W. May; Messrs. Chas. Ashmore, Grover Earnest, Hal Perkins, John Ray, Walter Bartlett, Roy Powers, Walter Perkins, Clifton Martin, Carey Earn est and Wesley Entrekin. Miss Morris was unanimously voted the most entertaining hostess of the season. party last Friday afternoon in honor of her sister, Mrs. C. K. Henderson, Jr., of Newnan, who spent the holi days in Carrollton. The house was appropriately decorated in Christmas greens and bells, great wreaths of holly being hung in every window, a bright, red bell in the center of each wreath. Growing plants and flowers were also used in abundance as decora tions in the large living-room, the dining-room and the hall which were thrown together and easily warmed by glowing fires. Pretty hand-painted red and white place cards were drawn by the guests, and red and white bonbons in cut-glass dishes were placed on the tables for refreshment during the games. Four games were played and the top score prize, a handsome gold bar-pin was awarded Mrs. Bernard Bass,while the honor prize, a beauti ful gold thimble, was presented to Mrs. Henderson. After the game a delicious lunch was served, consisting of sliced turkey, cranberry jelly, waldorf salad olives, hot biscuit, sandwiches, and coffee. The sandwiches were tied with red ribbons in one loop of which was fastened a tiny doll. Another favor on each plate was a souvenir of Carrollton in the shape of a small china vase, dipper, pin- tray, etc., each bearing a picture of Carroll County’s Courthouse. Mrs. Henderson wore a gown of pink chiffon, Mrs. Newell a lavender crepe-de-chine, Miss Eugenia Mande- vflle and Miss Margaret Simonton assisted in entertaining.
