cake and Naples biscuit were served on
small tables placed on the lawn. Fret

The tally-bo ride which. Mrs. Samuel
Deane gave last Tuesday afternoon was
one of the most pleasant given' this
season. After a ride of a few miles
the party rested in a prtUy grCvw and

in the many charming ways known
only to bright young people. In the
party were seen numbers of young de*
butantes, radiant in their fresh and
simple beauty, and surrounded by
groups of ardent admirers. Only a
glance was necessary to see that pleas
ure and wit reigned supreme, cares
and troubles were forgotten in the ex
citement of the moment, and happi
ness came without seeking.
Mrs. Deane was, as usual, bright and
interesting—the perfection of hostess
and chaperone. Her guests were:
Mrs. Lawson Thrash, Miss Inez Ham
mond, Miss Bessie Judkins, Miss Mary
Banks Mills, Miss Lizzie Mills, Miss Kate

plimented Mrs. D. L. Johnson, of Fort

was one of.those delightful affaire
which bring together a number of
most congenial women, in a home
where one is received with such
charming hospitality. Flowers and
beautiful girls were all abloom there
Wednesday, and pink cheeks and pink
roses an i pink confections were all in
lovely correlation. Personally Mrs
Brooks is a most attractive and inter
esting woman, and added much to the
pleasures of this occasion by that cor
dial welcome characteristic of her bos
pitality.
Her costume of Wednesday was, as
usual, very elegant; she wore a mag
nificent gown of green and gray taf
fetas, elaborately trimmed with passe
menterie and handsome lace and car
ried an armful of pink roses.
Mrs. Johnson, the guest of honor,
and one of Griffin’s most beautiful

of cerise taffetas.

Very recent improvements have
been made on the Kiacaid home, and
there is no handsomer residence in the
city. The white steps and veranda are
a suitable entrance to the beauty of'
architecture that awaits within. The
central hall is long, and vast, and tatty,
Wth floor and heavily frescoed walls,
and the entire first floor is arranged
with an evident view to entertaining

lovely in a handsome eveningioilette
of black grenadine over cberry silk.
