This figure represents In increase

of 100 over a month ago.
This Increase is due to the tact that
Governor Moody has not granted

. VANISHING LUNCHEON
One of the most interesting events
of the week was the one o’clock three
course luncheon given by Mrs. Lee M. ['
Green Tuesday. Easter place cards '
and a rabbit in an attractive nest of
larkspurs and nasturtiums gracing
the center of the table, lent charm to
the occasion. Covers were laid for
eight guests, who. were: Mesdames W.
Houston Gossage, R. I. Strong, T. S.
Conner, Marshal Janes, Hall Crane,
Burl Stugard, Joe Tartar of San Juan,
and -Mrs. N. L. Davidson of Pharr.
Each of the eight guests will, in
turn, give a like luncheon, invitink
eight guests, thereby creating an end-
less chain of luncheons to raise money
for the New Church Fund. The price
per plate is fiffy cents.
