spell of
macher’s
Mr.
WHETHER it
were the thrill
of patriotism,the
quaint but beautifully
gowned
women or the
and Mrs. Schuhospitality
is not
known, but something conspired
to make this Colonial dance one
of exceptional beauty and brilliancy.
The house decorations
were elaborate and were a silent
compliment to the guests in whose
honor they were set,while, on the
other hand, the becoming arrangement
of powders and
patches upon the part of the
guests gave a reciprocity of compliment.
All honor was done to
the “red, white and blue.” It
twined the balustrades, crowned
the door ways, and decorated the
walls. A George Washington
portrait smiled its patronage of
the lovely scene as well as his approbation
of the life like cherry
tree which grew candied fruits in
the hallway corner. Not a muscle
of George’s face betrayed the
fact that the cherry tree story is a
myth, or that while he may have
made a full confession upon this
occasion, he swore like a trooper
on others. Three rooms en suite
served as a ball room, and, when
the Colonial dames were led out
by their stately partners for a
dance, the scene well carried one
back to Martha Washington’s famous
ball of years ago. The
powdered hair and rouged cheeks
were extremely becoming. Mesdames
Foster Fort, Walter Fort,
Clark, Padgitt, Rotan, Hamilton,
Russell and Miss Oliver were
all mentioned as looking unudually
well, while Mrs. Schumacher
herself never looked better.
Program dancing for an
hour or two was followed by a
cottilion in charge of Mr. Hallpike.
The first figures distributed
the evenings’ souvenirs—
miniature hatchets, painted with
a spray of cherries. Shannon
did duty in the refreshment
room, while Reynolds furnished
the music. As a floral offering to
this beautiful party were palms
in abundance and mantel banks
of the choicest cut blossoms, utilizing
the red, white and blue.
Not since Mrs. George Clark’s
colonial ball of seven years ago
have the fashionable folks been
called upon to do homage to
“powders and patches.” Those
upon whom this demand was
made were,
Messrs, and Mesdames Rotan, Hamilton,
Shear, Padgitt, Bain, Behrens,
Roberts, Howard Mann, Walter Port,
Foster Fort, Russell, Johnson, Early,
Toby, Gould, Hallpike, Dr. and Mrs.
Black.
Mesdames George Clark, George
Hoehn, Annin.

It took just such a party as
that of Mrs. Maude Cole on
Thursday afternoon to bring one
to the realization that in the
midst of so much he knew so
little. The occasion was an especial
courtesy to the Literary
Tea and the Woman’s club, but
every vestige of club work was
removed. The afternoon really
proved one of profit, since there
could have been no one present
who did not feel herself burnished
with a bit of literary lore.
The first appalling blunders were
made over the effort to associate
the name with the face of forty
well known writers, both of
poetry and of prose. The first
honor of recognizing the most
faces fell to Miss Johnston and
the second, to Mrs Pattillo, each
of whom was presented with
framed portraits of beloved authors.
The next fun was found
in the choosing of sides as in the
old fashioned spelling bee, with
Mrs. Rotan and Mrs. Padgitt,
captains. In lieu of words, titles
of books were given, and its author
was required. In this, Mrs.
R. G. Patton and Miss Edmonds
made not a mistake. They indulged
the old time method of
decision in drawing straws, and
Miss Edmonds was made the
possessor of a valuable book.
Mrs. C >le’s resources seemed inexhaustible.
As a last bit of
pleasantry, she distributed carnations,
each bearing some
pretty compliment in verse to the
lady jvho drew it. The refreshments
consisted of ice cream,
cake, fruit nectar and almonds.
Mrs. Foster Fort, with Misses
Brahan, Posten and Seley were
largely instrumental in making
the evening pass oil so smoothly;
indeed, it provoked the expressed
enjoyment of each guest, particularly
as it departed from all
former afternoons. The especial
guests were:
MESDAMES.
Prather,
Killough.
Willig,
Woodson White,

Eugene Early,

Waller Baker, W. K. Jones,

Since card parties have outrivaled
all other forms of amusement
in Waco, and since innate
curiosity makes us like to know
what others are doing, we clip in
toto Beau Monde’s description of
a game in one of Dallas’ representative
homes which says,
“Mrs. Russell Myrick’s progressive
euchre party on Tuesday afternoon
for Mrs. John Sloan Me
Cauley and Mrs. Hargraves was
the card crush of this very emphatically
brilliant card season.
Fully seventyfive smartlyfrocked
women were received by this
always delightful hostess into her
home on the South side.. By her
side, also doing the honors of the
evening, were Mesdames McCauley
and Hargraves, both past
masters in the art of entertaining.
The handsome reception
suite was agleam with lighted
white tapers in cyrstal and silver
candelabra and white billowed
chandeliers, whose rays played
hide and seek among the chaste
blooms of Calla lilies, the dainty
frond of palm and pearly berries
of mistleto that banked the manties
and clustered about canvas
and easel. It was a lingering
caress of Christmas met with a
rosy kiss of Cupid, typified by the
redrose and pink carnation. Sixteen
tables were laid for the
game with score cards tied with
dainty ribbons of green and pink,
distributed by Gertrude, the lovely
little daughter of Mrs. Hargraves.
The hostess assisted by
the honorees and a big house
party conducted the game with a
skill that called out the admiration
of the devotees. It was a
big lot of women to handle under
the spell of euchre, but they did
it with a Napoleonic air that
showed we are already sniffing
the atmosphere of the Twentieth
Century. Twelve games were
played, some of the players making
a very fine score. Mrs.
Buford A. Killough captured the
royal prize, a dainty Dresden
boudoir clock with motherofpearl
face. Mrs. J. B. Oldham
came next and won a silver
