A DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL EVENT. I New Year's Party In Honor of the Misses Graham. Lane, January 11:?One of the most pleasant social events of the holiday season was the New Year's party given Friday evening, December 31,by Hon and Mrs J C Graham at their lovely country home in honor of their daughters, Misses May,Margaret, Dora and Hazel Graham. The house was beautifully decorated, the color scheme of red and green being artistically carried out with Southern smilax, holly,mistletoe, youpon. Christmas bells and red crepe paper in the east and west parlors and hall and dining room. The guests were met at the door by Mr and Mrs Graham and introduced to the guests of honor. As soon as all the guests were assembled the boys were asked to spin a wheel of fate and win a partner for the first contest. When they had met their "fate," score cards and pencils were given to the couples and they were requested to prove their interest in advertisements by guessing the names of various advertisements pinned around the room. The ones most familiar with advertisements proved to be Miss Ruth Hinnant and Mr S A Graham, Jr. and the first prize, a lovely box of stationery,was awarded them,while the consolation, a bunch of mistletoe, was given to Miss Jeannette Davis and Mr Lex McClary. Following this the guests > were ushered into the hall, where punch was served by Misses Hazel Graham and May Hinnant. Those present were then shown into the east parlor, where from the center of the room a large green circle hung, through which were suspended red cards on one end of which was tied a sprig of holly and on the other a sprig of mistletoe. The boys were asked to take a piece of holly and the girls a piece of mistletoe. Then the circle was cut and the ones who had the same end were partners for the next contest. The couples were given slips of paper and pencils and asked to write a New Year's resolution,fold the paper and pass it on. This continued until each had written six resolutions, then the papers were folded and signed and given t^ the judges to decide who had the best collection of resolutions. The first prize, a box of candy, was awarded to Miss Emmie Ferrell and Mr S A Graham, Jr. and the booby to Miss Frankie Cook and Mr Bill Bryan. The girls were then asked to retire into the back hall and the boys were requested to assemble in the front hall. A sheet was hung across the hall and through a big hole cut in the sheet the girls looked with one eye and were auctioned off, the boy making the highest bid getting a partner for supper. As soon as all were auctioned off, the guests, led by Mr and Mrs G C Parsons, were ushered into the dining room, where a delicious three-course supper was served. After this, since it was leap * ?* -1 4.^ year,the girls were given a cunuc-r iu hug a partner as the boys were auctioned off amid much laughter and merriment. During the evening Misses May and Margaret Graham sang many lovely selections, accompanied by Miss Dora Graham on the violin and Miss Ruth Hinnant on the piano. At 1 a. m. the guests bade their charming host and hostess "good night" and expressed their thanks for the most delightful affair of the season.
