Several times each year, a custom thal has prevailed here for several years, some one in Edgefield enter- ; tains in honor of the elderly ladies ' of the community. The last one of these very pleasant occasions was 1 held at the hospitable home of Mrs. J. P. Ouzts who entertained the el- { derly ladies of Edgefield in honor of her mother, Mrs. M. A. Watson, . and Mr. Ouzts' mother, Mrs. Isa- 1 belle Ouzts. The congenial corte- 1 rie was composed of about a dozen 1 ladies who became reminiscent and ' chatted pleasantly of the past. Sev- 1 eral of the ladies attended the same school in their girlhood and others 1 were more or less intimately asso- 1 ciated later in life and this day, 1 made so delightful by the many 1 thoughtful attentions of the hos- ' tess, afforded ah opportunity to dis- 1 cuss the things that took > place in the long and nearly-for- 1 gotten past. The most pleasing ' feature of the day WPS the bounti- 1 ful feast that was served so beauti- 1 tifully by Mrs. Ouzts. The guests have been lavish of their praises of 1 her kindness and thoughtfulness on ] this occasion. , Card of Thanks.

Everywhere were the colors white and gold giving evidence that something unusual was taking place. After most cordial greetings from the hostess, each one was very gra ciously served with fruit punch by Misses Marie Key and R?sela Par kes, whence they were seated at tables where a contest was conduct ed, naming the various articles of a girl's trousseau in jumbled letters. On the souvenirs was the name of her honoree and her fiance, these also in jumbled letters of gold. While seated, as the fcontest closed, most delightful refreshments were served, a salad course, follow ?d by banana ice cream and angel food cake, Gn which in orange let ters was placed a significant date, June 17, 1014. Hints were also served in orange baskets on each iable. As this veiy pleasant feature of Lhe afternoon closed, all were sum moned to the parlor, where the prizes for most successful guesses were awarded. The first prize was won by Mrs. J. R. Tompkins and the booby prize by Mrs. C. E. May. &s Mrs. Tompkins received hers, me read the following announce nent which was the climax to which all the afternoon entertain ment tended.

Honor of Two Brides-elect. Mrs. Landrum Burted. Mr. John E.Porry,one of the old est and roost honored citizens of our town died at his horne here on Sat urday night between ten and eleven o'clock. For about two months he has been in failing health, and a day or so previous to his death he suffered from acute indigestion, but was able to be up again, and on Saturday he was again seized with an attack. During his weakness and suffering the most loving care was , given him by those near to biro. Mr. Perry would have been 80 years of age in May, and considering thifi he was still very active. Especially will he be missed by bis neighbors and immediate friends, for they knew what bis friendship meint. He was a man who found delight in the companionship of friends and his ever ready help was theirs to call upon. He was i devoted father and husband, kind, loving and al waya jovial. As a member of the Methodist church he was consistent, with an unfaltering faith in God, for a few moments before the end he said he had no fear, for he trust ed the Lord. He was a brave Con federate soldier. A t the first call to arms, he was ready to muster into service, and fought well for the south he loved. The D. of C. placed a laurel wreath upon his casket. The funeral services were conducted Sun day afternoon at the Mt. of Olives cemetery by his pastor. Rev. G. T. Hutchenson and the D. of C. sang softl}', "Our hero-soldier sleeping, he'll never march again." Mr. Per ry leaves a widow and little son, and one daughter, Mrs. Alice Coi, a sister, Mrs. Werts, of Newberry, and a brother. Dr. Ben Perry of Augusta.

Those assisting the hos tess were Misses Josephine Mobley and Nina Ouzts and Mesdames Miras Walker and W. B. Ouzts, and wfter the arrival of the guests, a half hour was spent each sketching a picture of the kind of home the bride-elects might wish, with plans of the house and flower garden. Mrs. Leon Stansell's plan won the prize, a band embroidered collar. Much merriment was bad viewing some of the sketches. All were invited into the dining room, where ?n elaborate luncheon of sal ads, pressed chicken, sandwiches, olives, crackers and ice tea were served, then tutti-frutti cream with bride's cake, and lastly green mints, the color scheme being green and while. The idea was well carried out, the china being decorated in green and the lights had green shades. In the center of the table was a miniature home, with flower garden and tiny shrubbery, and thu made an attractive centerpiece. The place catds were of Cupid, prepared for a journey. Before leaving thc room the guests of honor were pie sented with gifts, Miss Strother, a hand-embroidered pin cushion done in forget-me-nots, and to Miss La Groue, a pair of silk hose with ??lau garters.
