which she wore a carnage of talis
man roses sent by wire 'by her
husband. Mrs. Grass. club presi
dent, received beside Mrs. Martin
ez, was gowned tastefully in peach
lace.
The ten. table was a delight to
the eye with an interesting center
piece of yellow and white prize
gladiolas arranged by the Flower
Mecca. Graciously presiding at
the table which was laden with de
licious dainties were Mrs. Mary
Turner, Mrs. William Smith and
Mrs. J. W. Stanley.
During alternate hours several
of the younger matrons and maids
assisted about the flower filled
rooms. Among them were Mes
dames Edward Watson, Otto Ru
therford, and Earl Elkins and the
Misses Jessie Flowers, Josephine
Dancy, Daisy Lee Wright, Doris

gave a piano solo; Miss Josephine
Dancy recited two numbers that
most pleased Mrs. Martinez; and
Miss Bernice Williams sang a pair
of ballads.
Mrs. Robert Dancy, Mrs. Willis

ton. S. Pickett, and Marie Penny.
Mrs. Bessie P. Johnson present
ed Mrs. Martinez with an armful
of gorgeous summer blossoms and
Mr. W. Gragg presented the hon
ored guest with a corsage.
Turning the tables on her fellow
club members, Mrs. Martinez ask
ed each of the 21 members who ar
rived to select a package from a.
box piled high with beribboned sur
prise gifts. The ladies exclaimed
with pleasure over the handsome
gifts the packages contained. Some

a variety of desirable pieces.
