HE receiving
suite of Mrs.
George L.Yarbrough
in her pretty
Fifth Street
cottage made a
striking tableau
to greet one’s entrance
on Friday
evening when a party of young
folks took possession as a farewell
compliment to Miss Ida Yarbrough,
who is a cousin and a
household guest from Arkansas.
In the parlor, the glowing tones
of red were suggested in cut
flowers and growing plants cleverly
disposed. A pink room received
the ladies. Through the
sitting room, one’s eye rested
upon a door opening into the refreshment
room. This had a
filmy portiere of green and white
gauze through the meshes of
which the beautiful table, a symphony
in green and white were
disclosed. From the chandelier
above, fell four streamers of the
gauze, alternating green and
white. They enveloped a towering
center piece formed of cut
flowers. In a recess, sat a
smaller table upholding a miniature
lake over whose rippling
surface floated swans. Here,
Misses Etta May Frances and
Lora Ashburn were the tea maids
to serve ices and cakes. Mrs.
Yarbrough was assisted by Mesdames
King and Dawson with
Miss Anna West, Master Leo
Tillman did attentive service at
the door. Those present were:
MISSES.
Sue Standifer, Josephine Jenkins,
Maria Speight, Jennings,
Estelle Standifer, Pinkie Harris,
Hattie Carter, Georgia Jenkins,
Fannie Carter, Hamilton.
MESSRS.
Chas. McKennon, Fielding Ficklin,
Ray Rowell. Truiet,
N. L. Davis, J. A. Held,
Will Allen, Hernando Wood,
Eugene Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Sears.
The wit of Bill Nye increased
the flow of spirits at the Literary
Tea on Wednesday evening
when one of the most enjoyable
meetings of the season was held
with Miss Goodrich. The U. S.
history which the humor of
“William Edgar” has recently
burlesqued formed the nucleus of
the evening’s work around which
was grouped many comical quotations
and extracts from his autobiography.
Mrs. Rounsavall
and Mrs. Bolinger gave the readings.
Mrs. Stribling, Mrs.
Woodward, Miss Randal and
Miss Friend met with the “Tea.”
Cooling collation formed an
agreeable afterpiece.
Misses' Robertson and Steven
son were the recipients of a very
pleasant courtesy on Tuesday
evening in an informal at home
extended by Mrs. William Winston.
Cards formed the basis of
amusement around which played
the inspirations of music or veranda
teteatetes. About twenty
guests were present.
Mesdames Hays, Moore, Blackshear,
Scdwick and Brinkerhoff
chaperoned a merry party of picnicer
s to the Bosque on Saturday.
They were:
MISSES.
Tally Orand,
Evelyn Fleming,
Eva Allen,
Rennie Frazier,
Mable Blanchard,
Allie Moore,
Edna Winans,
Katie Moore,
Ray Brinkerhoff,
Katie Shaw,

George Caufield.
Midnight slumbers were broken
in several households on Friday
evening by a party with their
mandolins and guitars. Enhanced
by the stillness of the
hour, their music seemed divine,
until the merry chatter from the
wagon suggested, “things of the
earth, earthly.” The homes of
Judge Clark, Mr. Seley, Col.
Winter and Miss Friend were
thus sweetly aroused. Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Smith with Mr.
Ernest Shumate sustained the
dignity of the nocturnal drive.
The serenaders were:
MISSES.
Hubby, M. Caruthers, M. Smith.
MESSES.
Robertson, H. Sm th, C. Smith.
H. McLendon, Caruthers.
A few friends assembled by
invitation with M. and Mrs. Rotan
on Saturday evening to hear
Miss Chamberlin’s paper read before
the Women’s Club in which
she discussed the higher culture
for which the woman of today is
striving. It was a splendid effort,
and one which eschewed
all thought of the “Woman’s
Rights” woman. She handled
that phase of culture which
trains the moral, the esthetic
and the physical nature. Miss
Chamberlin has been very much
complimented upon the paper.
The Tiffin Club met with Mrs.
Charles Sanger on Tuesday afternoon.
An interesting discussion
was substituted for the usual
reading, which will be continued
at the residence of Miss Rosa
Sanger on Tuesday next. After
the debate, Mrs. Sanger regaled
her guests with a light and
tempting collation to which, the
Tiffinites, believing that “Whatever
is worth doing at all is
worth doing well,” did ample justice.
Among the week’s pleasantries
stands prominently the informal
congregation of friends with
Miss Saffarans on Thursday
evening. The hours were beguiled
in just such diversions as
inciting surroundings and a congenial
company could suggest.
It was the intention of Miss Saffarrans
to introduce Miss Morris
who was visiting her sister, Mrs.
J. Alfred Early, but the ever
fateful telegram thwarted such a
pleasure.
