The beautiful Thorn j home was artistically decorated for1 the occasion,red and white being the. cli? ?en color scheme. The electric lights, shaded with red, created a cheerful, cosy scene, so that in spite j of the bitter cold day there was an * v effect of glowing warmth. The guests, upon their arrival, were served with punch by Miss' o-i mi ? 1- 4.U?i OeiUlU iDOrn, wnu pn-siucu ci Luc puuch bowl iu u nook in.the hall. Before the games commenced, Miss; Janie Allen of Florence delighted everyone with seveial biilliant selections ou the piano. The score cards were white pasteboard hearts and the scores wee indicated by little red hearts pasted on ! the cards of the winners after each game. At the tnd of a given number of games it was found that Miss Alice Beckham's card bore the largest number of little red hearts and to her was awarded the first prize, a silver belt pin. Miss Estelle Campbell wou the consolation prize, a silver hat pin, and to Miss Tallulah Gregg, the guest of honor, was presented a dainty hand-embroidered handkerchief. ^ At the conclusion of the games an elaborate course supper was served, and in the final course the color scheme was artistically brought to , mind by the glistening red cherries served #ith the ice cream. Miss Thorn's invitation list included the following: Misses Tallulah Gregg and Janie Allen of Florence, Cora Garner of Darlington, Florence Lachicotte of Warerly Mills, Nome Webb, Mamie Logan, Hannah Gale, Alicf Beckham, Estelle ..Campbell, Agnes Erckmann, .Lily ?rvio ana tsaroara j aeons anu Mesdames Louis W.

The ladies of the' Presbyterian church held a special meeting on Tuesday afternoon, December 11, to discuss having an entertainment to raise funds to finish paying for the uew carpet in the church. It was decided to give a hot supper on the evening of Friday, December 11. The proceeds will go to the payment of the cost of the carpet and what is made over aud above this amount the ladies decided to use for the purpose of building a fence around the new manse. It was further decided to turn over the money previously rais ?d by the ladies for the purpose of buying a manse lot to the manse ^ building committee to help pay off ^ the outstanding debts. The lot on 'which the manse is built was given to the church by the Kingstree Real Estate company, a corporation owning that portion of town known as >lew Town, so the $200 raised by the " ladies of the church for the purpose of buying the lot comes in now at a very opportune time to help lift the debt on the manse. The Civic league met 011 Wednesday afternoon, but very few members were present and practically nothing could be done. Neither the street committee nor the depot committee was represented and consequently there could be 110 report made on their work. The committee appointed by the league to solicit honorary members among the men in town whose privilege it would be to pay annual dues of $1 each, reported that something over $80 had Koon ruia<ul SWUl psish Thp rommit tee reported that the men had entered into the- spirit of the work with Ratifying courtesy and expressed a <ieep interest in the efforts of the league.
