CLOVER CLUB. _
Mrsr T. D, Kinman was the
hostess of one of the most en
joyable meetings yet held by this
social club at her pretty home on
Second street. This club is a
social organization, for the pur
pose of cultivating the social
side ol lite, and tnis meeting,
Thursday afternoon was unusu
ally pleasant.
Cream and cake were served
by the hostess at the close of
the afternoon.
Those present were: Mes
dames A. D. and Wm. Bailey,
Narcie Minor, R. M. Johnson,
Gustave Jones and Mabel Pad
gett. __
EUCHRE CLUB.
’ One of the most pleasant social
functions given this spring was
the entertainment of the Evening
Euchre Club, by Mrs. W. W. Mc
Minn, Thursday evening. A large
number were present, eight ta
v bles being filled. The colors of j
x'^his club are red and black,
—<-which were beautifully carried
out in everything with ribbons
and flowers. The score cards
were heart shaped, tied with rib
bons in the dominant hue. Sou- j
venirs of pins for the ladies and
| miniature pipes for the gentle
men were tied with the same
parti-colored ribbons and given
guest upon entering.
v> pi, was served on the
her wa/^ tfie Tmal game,
i^rm of three courses
p|rt8 served by Mrs. McMinn and
her two sisters, Mrs. Joe Ken
nedy and Miss Aubrey Arnold.

DEBUTANTES NOT INVITED.
Mrs. . D. Watson, who is
ever a very clever and consider
ate hostess, had for her guests
Thursday afternoon a party of
lady friends, reminiscent of the
earlier days of Newport society,
the affair being in compliment to
Mesdames J. E. Brown and Mary
Matthews. For congenial and
jolly crowds, just summon about i
you these debutantes of several
years back, who have not for- :
gotten the good times of girl- '
hood and young lady companion- .
^ ship and yet who do not enjoy a ,
club meeting three times a week i
at the lowest. It was this kind
of a gathering which enjoyed H
Mrs. Watson’s hospitality, and
the mirth-making indulged in
leads one to think that the mythi
. cal rejuvenating fount lies in 1
time osu^hj;eunion entertainments,
t a falPwfck.,^ Mrs. Brown en- '
dames Will Bevens and Mary
Matthews. A surprise was
sprung on the two guests of
honor by Mrs. T. J. Watson, who
produced to the amusement and
laughter of all present, some
“old timey” pictures. Photog
raphy was a crude art in those
days, and of this fact the two
ladies doubtless hastened to as
sure their friends.
The refreshments of straw
berry cream and cake were de
licious and the hostess quite won
her way into the hearts of her
company for treating them to so
pleasant affair, in the execution
of which she was assisted by
Mesdames B. W. Stainback, T.
J. Gregg and Miss Bessie T. J.
Watson.
The others present were Mes
dames Laura Doswell, Pattie
Huddleston, T. D. Kinman, For
rest Dillard, J. M. Bell, Wm.
McGoffin, E. McDonald, D. W.
Anderson, M. Waddle, Laura
Dills, W. E. Bevens, J. W. Stay
ton, E. B. Young, M. J. Lucas
and James P. Duck.
