.After the Weeleyen performance of
“Nothing But The Truth'’, last Wed
nesday, the Players motored out to the
beautiful home of' R. Habenicht Css-
son, where they were entertained with
• a delightful after-theatre supper.
Throughout the handsome villa,
from which one has s magnificent view
of the broad expanses of the Ocmul-
gee river, fragrant early spring flow
ers, in profusion, farmed the decora
tions. In the drawing room yellow
jonquils filled bssqucts and vases, and
in the dining room the motif of yelloW
and white was carried out in the ex
quisite daffodils used a* a centerpiece
on the table. The center appointment
was surrounded by silver candlesticks
in Which graceful tapers were placed,
and on the table were compotes of pink
mints. J ,

The goddess Discord might wall

and instead of tho strife that was be
tween Juno, Vanns, and Pallas, have
rivalry batwoan Mabel and Babb Jack-
son—and possibly a few Wesleyan

Mabel’s soulful eyes stir men to poo-
