One of the swelleBt of the sea son’s entertainments, was given by Mrs. F. E. Norwood, at her home on Maine street to the Spinsr ter’s Club. This beautiful home was made still lovelier with the decorations of wild clematis, mis- eletoe and holly, with numerous battenburg centerpieces, scraps, etc., all the work of the charming hostess. The guests were ushered into the parlor where the soft.red glow from many lights added beauty to the animated faces of spinsters and guests. It being the regular time of meeting of club, they quickly at tended to the business of the club and adjourned. Each one present took part in a game of conuudrums. We were given 10 minutes to guess the 15 numbers on the me nu cards. Miss Norwood collect ed the cards and we were invited to the dining room where most de licious refreshments were served. On each plate were the answers to the numbers on the cards, and very substantial answers they were. Each one had a ribbon run from the chandelier q,nd tied to kisses, around each of the kisses wero appropirate verses. The arch formed by these ribbons over the centerpiece was tasty and beauti ful. The judges of whose card was most carrect: Mrs. Louis Frank Cater, Mrs. Hugh Lawson, Mrs. J. Powers Cooper and Mrs. Edgar K. Brasel- ton then carefully examined the cards and awarded the prize to N Ray, whom when called out prov ed to be Mrs. Braselton, The prize was a handsome wedge wood placque and was presented by Mrs. Cater. Both spinsters and guests voted this the most delightful entertain ment of the season —and we all join in asking the fair hostess to “Try it again.” Misses Annie and Nell Norwood were lovely in pale pink and blue silk with touches of black velvet and lace. Mrs. Frank Cater was lovely in a gown of grey cloth and velvet. Mrs. Cooper was handsome in a gown of castor cloth with hat to match, Mrs. Lawson was dress ed becomingly in tan cloth and velvet, Mrs. Jim Martin’s dress was black silk trimmed handsome- lv with cream applique and with touches of panne velvet, Mrs. Braselton was becomingly dressed in black cloth, Miss Herndon of Sandersville was beautiful in black silk, Miss Martin was love ly in blue silk. All of the club members were dressed handsomely, but a des cription of each one, to do them full justice, would take a whole newspaper. A Guest. Elko Etchings. Mabel Mamie Pauline Lizzie Willie J. R.
