SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. ******* * *? * **fr%# v ?. Monday evening Miss Wessle Lee Dial, of Laurens, who with her sister. Rebecca, for the past week lias been a charming visitor in the home of ' apt. j. h. GueBs, was given a recep tion by Miss Hattio Lee Guess, daugh ter of ('apt. Guess.

After being served with punch bv Misses Saddle Guess and Rebecca DiaJ they were invited out on the lawn, which presented a lovely scene, lighted by Japanese lanterns, with a cosy seat scattered here and there one to suit the fancy of each partic ular cou|de. Here gaity ruled supreme until the latter part of the evening, when the young people were again asked inside, this time to draw partners for re freshments. This was carried out in quite a novel way, cards being pro vided for both the young men and the young ladies, attached to the ends of cords, in different parts of the house?some in the drawing room, some in the reception hall, some in the library and some even extending to the porch. And as these cords were wound around promiscuously the young people had much fun try ing to unravel the entanglements and find their partners at the end of the cord.
