FAITH
TAILORING to most
men is a kind of “Black
art.”
They expect a certain
magic effect from the
wizard of the tape and
shears but they know
very little about how
he obtains it.
When they find that
one word will bring
forth a suit of clothes
or overcoat with all the
fine points they de
mand: High quality
fabric, perfect fit and
finish, authentic style
—they place their trust
in it unquestingly.
The makers of Griffon Clothes are
very proud that in the minds of so
many men the name has become
an “Open Sesame” to good dress.

MISS HENSLEE, BRIDE
ELECT, ENTERTAINED
The first of a series of interesting
social compliments to Miss Myrtrude
Henslee, bride-elect, was the beau
tiful bridge luncheon given Thursday
afternoon by Miss Lottie Mitchell at
her home on Elm street.
The guests consisted of the bridal
party and several friends.
Beautiful ferns with azaleas,
sweet peas and yellow jasmines were
artistically arranged in the reception
rooms, giving suggestions of early
spring.
In the parlor pink carnations and
bridlea were used effectively in sil
ver baskets. The color scheme of
pink and white was in evidence in
the unshaded candles which cast a
soft glow throughout the rooms.
Amid this setting of lovely flowers
a delicious three course luncheon
was served. Mints and nuts were in
dainty rosebud baskets on the tables
where the real bridal place cards
were seen.
The dainty favors on each plate
were diminutive bridal slippers filled
with rice.
The guest of honor wore an at
tractive spring model of brocaded
blue and gold crepe romaine with a
i becoming silk hat. She was pre-
I sented with a set of handsome tea
j spoons by the hostess.
