effective decorations of stately chrys
anthemums, autumn leaves and grace
ful tracery of smilax. Also branches
of glowing foliage added charmingly
to the effectiveness of the decorative
scheme. The subject for the after
noon was, Edgar Allen Poe.
Call was responded to by quotations
from Powe. Then an interesting pa
per, "Defense of Poe,'' was beautiful

spacious Carter home on Court street.
Mrs. Carter and her charming young
daughters, Misses Annie and Ruth,
are surely ideal -hostesses,
guests were certainly made to feel
that it was a real pleasure to welcome
them to their home, which is one of
the sweetest in all the city, and they
In turn spent a most charming after
noon. The program was charming
and considered by all who had the
good fortune to hear it to far excel
any this club has ever yet given. The
introductory number, an instrumental
selection, "Nellie Gray," was most
charmingly rendered by little Miss
Nannie Scanlon. The program was
given in full last week in the News,
hence it will not be necessary to re
peat it. Mrs. Dr. Leo H. Martin di
rected the music, which together with
every other number on the program,
was charming in every particular. The
aftdrnoon passed all too quickly by
and was ended by the serving of an
elegant lunch by Miss Ruth Carter,
Mrs. G. H. Carter and Master J. P.
Carter. Mrs. Carter's good taste was
emphasized in the beautiful service
and tempting quality of this truly re
freshing lunch, and all present showed
their appreciation by their thorough
enjoyment.

that a defect in the sight is not as a j

relieved and the eyes are saved perhaps
from blindness. If you have eye trou
