A DEIGHTFUL
“SPEND THE DAY”
Last Thursday morning, June 22,
1922, dawned bright and beautiful,
and happy thoughts and fond antici
pation filled the mind of the invited
guests of Mrs. C. H. Morris to “spend
the day.”
It was really a “surprise party,”
for some did not know who would be
there until their arrival, which added
pleasure to the occasion.
The guests were: Mrs. J. C.
Adams, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. W. H.
Willis, Mrs. M. G. Holland, Mrs. Joe
Willis, Mrs. M. F. Middlebrooks, Mrs.
W. P. Miller and Miss Rosa Middle
brooks.
The conversational powers of the
guests were at liberty and many
reminiscences of the past, when they
were “belles’ and had “beaux,” de
lighted and charmed the hearers.
The dinner was announced, and
when we reached the table it was
decorated with beautiful flowers and
filled with rich, delicioiis viands,
which were greatly enjoyed.
The usual “after dinner nap” was
not taken, for the pleasures of the
day were too many to lose even a
short time.
The “age guessing” wns quite
amusing, for some were “guessed
older and some younger than they
really were.
When six o’clock came, the time
for departure, each guest gave gen
uine thanks for the pleasures of the
day to Mrs. Morris and Miss Edna,
whose hospitality has never been sur
passed. May God’s richest blessings
be upon them and theirs.
MRS. W. P. MILLER.
