Club Members Enjoy Dessert Bridge
At Mrs. E. B. Rogers Home Friday
The home of the E. B. Rogers
was the scene on Friday, of an
interesting event marking the
current social calendar, when
Mrs. Rogers entertained mem
bers of her club at a dessert
bridge.
An antique container of multi
colored garden flowers lent floral
interest in the entrance hall, on
a marble top table. Gossamer
Queen Anne’s lace in a crystal
vase, on the piano; and crimson
geraniums from the garden, as a
cabinet arrangement, enhanced
the attractive living room set
ting. A cutglass container of ivy
tendrils was used effectively as
the dining table centerpiece.
Prior to the rounds of bridge,
in which Mrs. Guy Robinson tall
ied high score, Mrs. Perino
Dearing, consolation, and Miss
Annie Pauline Anderson drew
bingo; guests were served a del
icious dessert course.
Other players included Mrs.
W, K. Lunsford, a club guest;
Mesdames Lillian Weaver, Lin
ton Smith, R. O. Arnold, and
John Bob Weaver, members of
the club.
A significant part of the nat
ion’s medical research is accom
plished in the 165 Veterans Ad
ministration hospitals affiliated
with 75 of the 88 medical schools
In the country.
