Steven Scurry and Mrs. James Hart, Jr., entertained on Thursday afternoon, May the sixth, in honor of Miss Nelle Jones, whose marriage in June- is of interest to a very wide circle of friends, as Miss Jones has been a most popular visitor not only in many southern states, but has graced numerous brilliant func tions over the Mason and Dixon line. Receiving with the two young hostesses were Mrs. James B. Tomp kins, Mrs. James Hart, Sr., and Mrs. B. B. Jones. Mrs. Hart, Jr., wore a charming blue taffeta with touches of dark red wool embroidery on bodice and skirt. Mrs. Scurry's gown of brown beaded georgette over a bronze green was most becoming. Mrs. James H. Tompkins' dress was of flesh georgette, most elab orately embroidered with designs of heads. Mrs. Hart, Sr., with a hand some black georgette. Mrs. Jones* costume of blue taffe ta had a modish trimming of self toned ostrich, tips. The guests registered in the bride's book presided over by Mrs. Gerald LaGrone. In this artistic book is "being kept mementoes of the many happy occasions which mark the en gagement of the attractive bride elect, beginning with the lovely an nouncement party given at Converse College wheie Miss Jones, as a stu dent and member of the "baby" fac ulty, was mont popular. The reception hall and living room were fragrant with masses of pink roses arranged in Louis baskets, with .airy tulle bows on their graceful s handles. The honoree and Miss Elise Lake, who is to be the maid of honor at the marriage, were pictures of loveliness in their place of honor-a draped divan-between two windows, on whose sheer drapery pink rose buds were caught, harmonizing with the masses of pink roses used so pro fusely in the-decorations. Miss Jones' exquisite toilette was a foundation of jade chiffon, draped with pink flowered chiffon, with this was worn a picture hat of similar exquisite ma terials and jade satin slippers. Misa Elise Lake's blond beauty was enhanced by her costume of blue IBarnoit satin, with which was worn ja charming white satin hat and white kid slippers. After the guests assembled *a rub ber of bridge was enjoyed, at the con .elusion of which, Miss Sadie Mims sounded the familiar notes of Lohen grin's wedding march. * Down the reception hall and into the bride's presence came little Miss Emily Dozier Tompkins-a vision of childish beauty in her exquisite hand made frock. In her hands she held aloft a transparent parasol, each spoke wrapped in soft white tulle. From the parasol were suspended the many gifts with which the bride was literally showered. These gifts included beautiful silken embtfiodered lingerie, hand embroidered towels, exquisite madei ra handkerchiefs and other dainty ar tides. After the delightful shower of gifts, a delicious sweet course was served, consisting of apricot block cream with pink layer cake. C. H. F. Births of Nation Far Outnum ber Deaths for Same Period, U.

Home Demonstration Notes. Poultry. Sodium Fiouride is a splendid rem edy for chicken lice. It may be put on the hens just before the chicks are hatched or on the chicks them selves. A pinch of sodium fiouride on the-head and under the wings will rid the chickens of this pest. (Sodi um Fiouride may be obtained at Dr. Mitchell's Drug Store in Edegefild). To get rid of mites, remove all nests, roosts, etc., and spray these and the poultry house walls thor oughly with kerosene (1 gallon) and crude carbolic acid or cresol 1 pint). If the chickens have cholera, clean up premises, fill any low places where water lies and stagnates, give pure drinking water containing 4 or 5 tablespoons of Epsom Salts. Separ ate sick birds and burn carcasses. Why Tourists Linger in Dixie. For some time we have been un able to understand why our friends from the North who have come to the sunny South to pass the neverest part of winter remained down here so late in the spring. But after re ceiving a letter from Mrs. Mims, written several days ago from the northern part of New Hampshire, stating that last Wednesday they mo tored through the White Mountains with the ground partially covered with snow and also passed a lake that was frozen over, we were im pressed that balmy spring weather is much later coming in the far north than down here. However, a little later they have as warm summer as we have. . ^ Mrs. Agatha A Woodson At Home For Mrs. Anson J. Ives. "Lone Pine" Bungalow was thrown open most hospitably Friday afternoon, May the seventh, in honor of Mrs. Anson Jesse Ives, a charming visitor from Savannah, here in her old home, where she has a wide cir cle of friends. A number of these friends enjoyed this delightful tea. The big living room was full of the lovely flowers that we gathered from the grounds surrounding the attractive bungalow. Dainty refreshments were served by Miss Hortense Woodson. assisted by Mrs. Hungerpillar, consisting of sandwiches, crackers, wafers, tea, and coffee. Augusta Sunday School Coming.
