Mies Montfort has the honor of being, and truthfully so, not only one of the most charming hostesses In Cordele, but In south Georgia, and on this oc casion added new graces to her ability as an entertainer. The handsome home was exquisitely decorated with many varieties of pot plants and beautiful palntlnga of her own artistic work, which together with the soft mellow electric, light thrown lrom several pretty chandeliers, blended beauty with merriment, and was in deed In the truest meaning of the word “Home, Sweet Home." When all the guests had arrived and each had exchanged happy greetings, they were comfortably seated around two carrom boards, and then the ex citing games began, which was very Interesting from start to finish. How ever, in the midst of the most excit ing game the players were interrupted, but happily *0, by Mlaa Montfort, who requested that the game be discon tinued for a few minutes as refresh ments would be served. After all had said “enough" the game was reopened, and. if possible, was more enjoyable than before the least. At this Juncture we will state that when the last game had been finished it was found that the contest was so close that we will withhold the names of the successful contestants. During the entire evening Miss Montfort delighted her guests with a number of beautiful selections, both vocal and Instrumental, which were greatly enjoyed by the players as the games progressed. Miss Pauline Newman of Eastman also rendered several sweet selections that were heartily encored by all pres ent. Miss Newman has a soft, .sweet touch, which show's that she is a bril liant and highly trained pianist. At a late hour the happy and con genial party bade their fair hostess good-night, but not until each one hid spoken many expressions of unfelgn*-d heartfelt thanks for the delightful evening they had epent—all wishing to again participate of her hospitality. Mrtj. William Scandretl assisted In re ceiving, and it goes without saying that o'ery one met a cordial welcome. Those who were so fortunate as to be present were: Misses Mamie Elder, Emory Foster, Ep^e Bush. Pauline Newman of Eastman. Marie Montfort.
