B day aftern<H?:..I).-vmber 3,MissMarie
Thorn entertaiued at cards iu honor
I of her guest, Miss Tallulah Gregg of j
Florence. 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

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

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
